“Son of Vengeance seeking light,

Grasp the hilt and join the fight.”

He rolled his head to the side, to gage Vince's reaction. “Sound familiar?”

“Where did you hear that?” Vince pressed his lipless mouth shut and inhaled through his nose, making an eerie whistling noise.

“From a book?”

“You have a Book of the Dead! Where is it?”

Josh’s shield popped into place, but it didn’t stop Vince from wrapping his claw-like fingers around Josh’s bicep.

He leveled his gaze at the man. “I’ve already said too much.”

“That’s a Book of the Dead prophecy and since it mentions me by name, I have the right to read it!” Vince's grip tightened.

“Cut it out!” Josh jerked his arm out of Vince's grasp. “I don’t have the book anymore. Someone stole it.”

“How could you let that happen?” A flash of red light shimmered in front of Vince for a moment. He crossed his arms and leaned away from Josh, sucking the light back into his body. He was obviously trying to control himself. “Was it the same mage that cursed you?”

“What makes you think I’m cursed?” Josh lowered his voice. He didn’t know anything about him, but with Vengeance for a power-name, it wouldn’t be a good idea to piss him off.

“There’s a barrier in your mind. And you didn’t put it there.”

“You can read my mind?” Hunter had specifically said that mind reading wasn’t possible. Josh didn’t like the idea of someone else having access to his memories, especially when he didn’t.

“You don’t know much about magic, do you?”

Josh snorted then tried to cover it up with a cough. “Whatever I know is hidden behind that barrier. Can you remove it?”

“I can’t read your mind and I can’t fight another mage’s magic. But you can.”

“How’s that?”

“If you can’t break the barrier, find a way around it.”

“And just how am I supposed to do that?”

“I haven’t got a clue. Like I said it’s your mind.” Vince tilted his head to the side, as if he were looking out the window, but Josh knew he was using the reflective surface to watch him. “What do you know about the rebellion?”

“All I know is that there are two opposing groups…clans, whatever…that can’t get along.” Josh wasn’t about to share any details of the small amount of information he had. For all he knew, Vince could be a spy.

“I am not a spy.”

“I thought you said you couldn’t read my mind?”

“Your energy field is pulsing with suspicion.” Vince turned his shoulders towards Josh. “Do you know what a death pledge is?”

Josh’s heart skipped more than one beat. “I’m not swearing a death pledge to you or anyone else.”

“I wasn’t asking you to. I’m willing to swear one to you. I need you to trust me and I can’t think of any other way.” Vince shifted his gaze to his lap. “I hope you aren’t squeamish.”

“It depends.”

Vince tugged his gloves off his disfigured hands then unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, exposing a web of scars. “You need to tug the collar of your shirt aside, or let me slip my hand under it.
