Chapter 10

I tried to act normal and get back into a routine over the next few days. If I wanted to find out more about what happened to Freya, that meant going to the academy’s healing wing. At least there I could maybe dig around Madam Leticia’s files and see what I could find. Alec had told me the files there were encrypted and could only be accessed by Madam Leticia herself since everything was kept confidential.

I pushed through the doors to the healing wing and winced at the smell of disinfectant. This place reminded me of the many hospitals I’d been forced to go to over the years to undergo testing. Being a faeling meant I’d had to undergo mandatory testing to see if I showed any signs of magic. All my life, I had believed I never had any magic, but after coming to the academy I realised I did. After all, I had always been able to see auras.

The healing wing looked similar to a human hospital with its whitewashed walls and rows of beds that had been made up for possible patients. Everything was sterile and in perfect order.

Madam Leticia herself came out through another door and her blue eyes widened at me in surprise. Her dark hair was pulled back into a severe bun and she wore an old-fashioned nurse’s uniform which consisted of a full-length grey, long sleeve dress with petticoats underneath, a lace collar, and a crisp white apron over it. “Can I help you with something, Silvana?” Her aura shimmered, but I couldn’t make out any of the colours.

Argh, not again. Why did my ability keep disappearing? I clasped my hands behind my back to hide my nerves. “I heard you were looking for an assistant and I was wondering if I could apply for the position?” I’d never worked anywhere like this in my life. Though, plenty of my former foster parents had put me to work cleaning and doing household chores for them in my previous foster and group homes.

“You want to work here?” She frowned. “Forgive me, but this doesn’t seem like the place someone like you would want to work in.”

What did that mean? I had never caused her any trouble. Or had Forrest said something to her? Had he known I might apply for the position here? Damn, I really needed to learn how to keep my mouth shut.

Holy crackers, what could I say to convince her to let me have the position here?

“I’m still trying to find my place at the academy,” I admitted. “I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something new.”

That was true enough. All of my friends had their roles here. Mel was a Guardian. Alec had his blog and his hacking skills. Tristen was not only a prince but also training to be a tracker and often worked with Mel. Where did I fit into it all? I had been so busy last term training with Freya and trying to get my powers under control.
