CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

THE PLAN

It had been a little over a week since Marco had arrived and warned of a coming battle. With Fallen Ones continuing to turn up throughout the city and invading the school campus, no one could deny that something was brewing even if no other signs were apparent.

This was on everyone’s mind.

In fact, I found Eran on my balcony the next morning, a cup of coffee in hand, gazing across the rooftops. He was deep in thought so I did my best not to bother him.

The bed springs did that for me.

“You’re up,” he stated over his shoulder after hearing the sharp squeak. He stood to meet me and the full sight of him made my heart flutter. His hair was still windblown from last night’s flight, but he had changed into a new pair of jeans that hugged his massive thighs and a black sweater tight enough to accentuate the muscular curves of his torso.

“It looked like you were concentrating…,” I said, avoiding the sight of him so I could recover. “Anything you’d like to share?”

He replied, “Actually there is something…” And my head snapped up.

He took a seat on the bed and I followed, wide-eyed. He hesitated and I was nervous he wouldn’t go through with telling me. With his lips pursed closed and his brow creased, he certainly didn’t like the thought of it. Then he began to speak.

“Magdalene, I debated myself on whether to disclose this information to you. The last thing I want is for you to be anxious or preoccupied by what I’m going to tell you. Please keep in mind that I have my army in place. You are well protected.”

“I know that, Eran.”

“Right…of course you do…I-I think I’m delaying…” He drew in a breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

“How about starting at the beginning?” I suggested, placing my hand on his bent knee and sucking in a breath at the excited jolt that ran through me.

He paused to notice it and then his smirk rose up, just enough to be seen. “Despite our situation, I like knowing you still react to me.”

“Always…”

He allowed the smirk to linger and then it fell away when he began to speak again. “I’ve been traveling the streets each night in London, Germany, and France, listening to anyone talking. Alterums are well populated in those regions and they always keep themselves knowledgeable on what the Fallen Ones are doing.”

“Really? Why is that?” I asked, surprised. I had gotten the impression from Campion that Alterums kept to themselves, but Eran’s answer erased that notion.

“Because they’ve also been attacked. Fallen Ones don’t discriminate. If they can take something, be it from a human or an Alterum, they’ll attempt it. So, Alterums watch their backs and each others, keeping a wary eye on the Fallen Ones.”

“I didn’t know they had a dog in this fight,” I mused.

“They do. More than you know. It was for this reason, they’ve spoken openly to me about what they have heard was coming.
