Chapter Sixteen

“Well, hello there,” he said with a sly grin. “Come here often?”

I groaned and stood up.

“What?”

I shook my head and looked around in amazement. “So, this is your home?”

He stood up and smoothed down his shirt. “Yes, our humble abode. At least the one we feel the safest in.”

I was surprised to find that they lived in such a contemporary-styled home. Since they were witches, I thought they’d live in something old and mysterious. This place was white, spacious, and from where I stood, appeared to have all of the modern luxuries.

“This place is beautiful,” I said, looking up, admiring the tall vaulted ceilings and sky lights.

“Check out the view outside,” said Tyler.

I walked over to a tall window that extended from the floor to the ceiling and looked out.

“Whoa, where in the world are we?”

“I told you it was a nice view,” he smiled.

“A nice view? We’re in the middle of nowhere.”

Well we were somewhere, somewhere high up in the mountains and surrounded by snow.

“We’re in Vail,” he said. “It’s a good place to hide. Vivian hates any kind of arctic weather.”

My mother was the opposite. She dragged us skiing and ice skating every winter. My sister loved the cold months as well. I, on the other hand, didn’t really care for winter. If it were my choice, I’d live in Florida all year long.

“So, you’re hiding from her, too?”

He handed me a cup of cocoa, which seemed to have just appeared. He nodded. “Something like that, We moved here after she murdered my father.”

I touched his hand. “I’m really sorry, Tyler,” I said softly. “How did it happen?”

He sighed and then walked over to the white leather sectional facing the window. “I should probably start from the beginning,” he said, sitting down. “My father worked for Vivian years ago, he was the head of her security.”

“Security?” I snorted. “Why would she need bodyguards if she’s so powerful?”

He scratched his chin. “Mostly for appearances. You see, she’s also a famous pianist and doesn’t always use her magic.”

“Seriously?”

“Oh, yes. She’s very vain about it, too,” he said, his lips thinning. “I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Vivian Reynolds, but she’s your aunt.”

My eyebrows shot up. “Vivian Reynolds? Although I’ve never actually seen her, I know that my mother has some of her CDs. She doesn’t listen to them, which I always thought was a little strange, in fact, they’re actually still in the wrapping. Wow, I just can’t believe that’s her.”

“She’s probably too afraid to listen to them. Anyway, my dad worked for Vivian before he met my mother and then something happened. Something she didn’t expect.”

I leaned forward. “What?”

“Well, one night, Vivian paid my mother a visit and took my dad along with her, probably to try and scare her into telling her where Adrianne was. It didn’t work. In fact, Vivian left in such a huff when my mother refused to tell her where Adrianne was that she demanded my dad go back that same night,” his face darkened, “and kill her.
