Chapter 14: Not As It Seems

“I want to help,” was the only thing I said as I barged into the headmistress’ office.

She tilted her head to one side, setting down her pen on the desk, followed by her reading classes.

“I thought I told you to stay out of sight,” she said, evenly and calmly. It was the worst tone of voice she could have used, to be perfectly honest. It was the voice she used when she was irritated, annoyed, fed up with whatever was going on around her. It was the voice she used when I’d screwed up and she was angry that she didn’t have more control over me. Yes, the headmistress was a control freak, and I was the one person that no one, not even I, could control. It made for very, very good arguments.

“And I did,” I said, nodding. “And you didn’t come up with any information so far. Well, information found me, and it’s much worse than we initially thought. It is much, much worse.”

“And where exactly did you get this information?” she asked, knotting her fingers together. Her usual smile was replaced with the tight line she pressed her lips into. It was unsettling.

I tried to recall anything the boy said to suggest I couldn’t tell the headmistress, but came up empty-handed. Still, I didn’t want to tell her anything that would break his trust in me. I needed his information. I hadn’t realized just how badly I wanted to find my family, or even find out what happened to them. My past was a mystery to me, and I’d locked it far away. That strange boy was the one thing I needed to unlock it.

He also possessed the exact same magic I did. There were so many things that I needed answers to. He could tell me things about my magic, about familiars. He could help me control it like he controlled his own power. There were so many possibilities with this boy, so many ways he could help me. I couldn’t mess that up. I couldn’t mess up my only opportunity to get answers. But he hadn’t said anything about not telling people about him, so I told her.

“There was a boy in my room last night; he came out of nowhere,” I began. “He said that there was a storm coming and that he needed me to fight it with him. That he needed the school’s help to fight it. He said the Dark Brotherhood already knows about me, and that they are on their way to come and get me. They don’t want me for my magic, they want me because I can stop them.”

“There was a strange boy in your room, and you’re only coming to me now? Lia, what were you thinking?” She got up from her chair. There was a cringing screech, and I winced. I was about to get a stern talking-to. If luck was on my side, I might just leave with my life. “What makes you think you can trust this boy?”

“I have a feeling,” I admitted.
