Winter arrived out of breath and clutching a large portfolio. As Kyla admitted him, he said, panting between words, “I got here as fast as I could, Lady Kyla. I left class early. The instructor called me back, but I ignored him. I’ll probably get in trouble. I didn’t know I could mindspeak, but your sending was so strong it gave me a headache. It’s getting better, though.”

He added the last apparently in reaction to her worried frown. The poor fellow must have run most of the distance from the Art Academy. She ushered him into the house, where several of the Community were gathered, some having already arrived in response to her mental sending. But none of those had complained about it being so loud, not even Professor Morence, who tended to complain about any perceived slight. And she had not directed her sending to Winter. She had not been aware that Winter could receive mindspeak, but that could be related to his being an empath. New as he was to the Community, she had not had an opportunity to test him for other gifts and had known only of his empathic ability.

He gazed around at the group looking rather like a startled rabbit. Winnie, holding Dreama, went to him and touched his shoulder, sharing her calming influence with him. Kyla suspected that his red face was due as much to nervousness and discomfort as to his rush to get here.

“Please, Winter, sit down and rest,” she said. “And what is that you have with you?”

It was definitely a blush that reddened his face as he sank into the chair being offered and laid the large black folder across his lap. “A portfolio with my art work and sketchpad,” he said. “I didn’t have any place to put it. I had to bring it with me.”

Under happier circumstances Kyla would have liked to see his art, but not now. She nodded and briefly explained to Winter why she had called the Community together.

“Veronica’s missing?” he asked when she finished. “And Renni too? Did they go somewhere together?”

Kyla shook her head. “Veronica vanished some time before Renni turned up missing. I’m hoping Renni just went home. I asked Lore to stop by her house while he’s summoning the other members.”

“They couldn’t hear your mindcall?” Winter asked, his brow furrowed.

Professor Morence spoke up before she could answer. “Obviously they don’t have that gift, or Lady Kyla would have summoned them the way she summoned all of us.”

Fortunately Winter was too worried about something—or someone—else to react to the professor’s disdainful tone.

But Winter was one of those Lore was to contact. Lore would have gone to his apartment, but Winter had been at the Academy. Could Lore have sent the mental call? Did he have that ability? If he did, it must be a talent he’d acquired recently, unless for some reason he’d been concealing it. But that would make no sense.

New arrivals interrupted her thoughts. She went to the door and ushered in Gorvy and Darnell Mack.
