Chapter 11

"I love the way you laugh, Razvan, but it isn't going to get you the spell. You were

supposed to study."

"I did study." Razvan grinned at her, his hair falling into his eyes the way it always did.

Natalya knew he believed all the girls thought he looked intriguing that way. She thought

he looked like he needed a haircut, but she refrained from saying so.

"Just not spells. You know I think they're archaic. What's the point? No one believes in

magick and I don't have the affinity for it that you do. Besides, you always tell me in the

end, so stop stalling."

Natalya put her hands on her hips. Of course she was going to tell him. She always did,

but she wasn't going to give it up that easy. "What do you have for me in return?"

"You're supposed to give it to me because you adore me," her twin pointed out.

"Adoration went out the window a long time ago when I realized I had to do all the

studying. Safeguards are important, Razvan. What happens if I'm not around and you need

to be safe?"

"I can always reach you, Natalya." He hugged her to him. "It's never made sense for

both of us to study the same thing. We share information."

"But you aren't retaining the spells," Natalya argued, the smile fading from her face.

"That worries me, Razvan. What happens if you need safeguards and you can't reach me?

You protect me all the time, the only real thing I have to give you in return is knowledge

and you don't take it seriously."

" Believe me, Natalya, I take it very seriously," Razvan corrected. He ruffled her hair

affectionately. "You're so much smarter than I am, and maybe I take advantage of that by

not studying as hard as I should, but never think I'm not aware of how much you help me.

I'm proud of you."

"Did he hurt you this time or did the safeguards hold against him?" Natalya, lowered

her voice and looked around them. A shadow fell between them. Razvan's arm slipped from

her shoulders and all at once he was a good distance away from her. He seemed to fade

and Natalya reached out a hand to him, but she couldn't touch him and she dropped her

arm.

"He was very angry. I think you're stronger than he is. If you keep working and learning

things like you are, he can't touch us. Maybe his power is diminished, I don't know, but it

worries me that you may be in danger. He doesn't like that he can't control you. If he can't

hurt me, he can't get to you."

For a moment Natalya's hair and skin banded with stripes and her eyes glowed a stormy

opaque. "He was able to get through the safeguards and he hurt you, didn't he? To punish

me because I won't come to him when he insists."

"Show me the new one. Show me what you're using now."

Razvan was fading from her and Natalya couldn't stop him. Grief intruded. Not for her

brother but for Vikirnoff. Her need to touch Vikirnoff's mind, just to know he was alive, was

safe.
