Chapter Eleven

Cameron

A week has passed since Kaleigh and I kicked Cordelia out of our house. I’m so mad at myself for doing that. It’s not really her fault that my parents were murdered while protecting her. After thinking about Amelia trying to kill her in the woods that day and her talking about Abem, I’ve really started to second guess the way I treated her when I had found out the truth. What does the most powerful Old One have to do with all this? He is the one that sent us here to protect her. It’s all very confusing. I haven’t seen her at school in the last two days and that has gotten me worried. When I do see her, she looks so sad. She did the assignment all on her own, likely in order to avoid me. If something has happened to her I don’t know what I would do. All I really want to do is find her and hold her and never let her go.

“Hey, little bro, what’s got you staring into space? Kelsey? You know I hate her. She is very annoying and, to be honest, a real bitch.” Kaleigh walks into the kitchen and grabs a cup of coffee.

“Actually, I’m not thinking of her. She’s very demanding and not very friendly. I was thinking of how Abem and Amelia have a connection. I wonder if they are working together to harm Cordelia.”

“Yeah; I’ve been thinking about that a lot. It’s all strange. He’s not supposed to take sides, but after you told me about that night my mind has been in overdrive. Something has me so curious, though. They knew I had known why our parents had died, but yet they still send me here to watch over her.”

“Kaleigh, I really hate myself right now.”

“Why, Cam?”

“Because these people I am hanging with are so horrible. I haven’t seen Cordelia the past two days. Last time I saw her was Wednesday; that was when Paul tripped her in front of everyone. I can sense that she is still alive. But still.”

Kaleigh cuts me off. “You care for her.” I nod, and Kaleigh sighs. “Go to her,” she tells me as she puts her hand on my shoulder. “Make this all right with her. She is innocent in all of this. She had no idea what was happening. She was sent to live with an abusive old drunk that got stripped of his wings.”

“But The Old Ones; they will kill me.”

“I don’t trust those old hags anymore. I think they had something to do with all this. I think they want to kill her, because she is a half-breed. We can’t let Amelia win. Now go.”

I get up and hug my sister. “I love you, and I will after school. I hope she is there today.” I grab my bag and head for school. As soon I walk in Kelsey is there, smiling and giggling.

“Hey Cam, are you ready for tonight?”

I sigh, because I know what I am about to say to her won’t go over well.
