Captive is a short told from Malachi's perspective. We learn what he was doing when Lela is captured in Sanctum and how caught off guard he is by her strength.
She was a girl. Not the prettiest he'd ever seen, but there was something about her that made him want to stare for hours. Something mysterious and challenging. Something unbreakable and defiant.
He's unsure how to proceed. Cautiously, most definitely.
No matter what happened now, no matter who she turned out to be, something had shifted inside of him.
Nothing would ever be the same.
