Chapter 7

My legs rooted in place as my breathing came in fast, shallow breaths. I couldn’t take my eyes off the crows as they formed the shape of a man. I watched even though I knew I should be running. Even though I knew I should get Hazel out of here. Even though I knew who it was forming.

Bram had found us. He was here.

My heart beat triple time as he solidified from the crows and shadows looming around him. The same evil smirk I’d seen before graced his lips as he shifted his gaze around the room.

Shit. How had he found us? And what had Adele been about to say?

Her last words had been cut off. What would we have to use? My mind raced as adrenaline pumped through me. Bram fixed his stare on me and my entire body trembled, vibrating my insides. I locked my legs at the knees to stop myself from quaking and straightened my back.

Bram’s grin widened.

Adele was right about him—he was pure evil. I could sense it rippling off him in waves.

“Where is she?” Bram asked. “Where is Hazel? I know she’s here.”

My brows pinched together. What was he talking about? Hazel was standing right beside me. Couldn’t he see her?

Wait a minute, the cloak! He couldn’t see her because of the cloak I’d placed on her! There had to be some way to use this to my advantage. Maybe Hazel would realize what was going on and get herself upstairs out of harm’s way.

“She’s not here,” I spat.

Benji glanced at me and I knew he had no clue what the heck was going on. Did the others?

Bram’s head tipped to the side, his eyes never wavering from me. “You’re lying. I can hear the tremor in your voice, little witch.”

Shit. I always had been bad at lying.

The corner of Bram’s lips twitched into a dangerous smirk and he launched himself toward me so fast my eyes could barely keep up with the movement, thankfully Benji’s could. He blocked Bram and sent him flying backward against the broken windows he’d come through.

I inhaled a sharp breath as another shot of adrenaline rushed through my veins, accelerating my heart. Benji charged forward, his attention focused on Bram, with Julian hot on his heels. I watched as Benji took a swing at Bram. He missed. Julian tried and failed as well. Bram was fast. Too fast. When he reached out and snapped both of their necks before anyone knew it was coming, panic unlike anything I’d ever felt before mauled my insides.

Benji crumbled to the floor. Then Julian half a second later.

“No! Benji!” My heart urged me to rush to his side while my brain told me to grab Hazel and get the hell out of there.

I did neither.

Instead, I remained where I was, dumbfounded and scared out of my damn mind, watching as Bram sauntered toward me one slow step at a time with the same evil grin pulling at the corners of his lips.
