Chapter Twenty-Eight

“Now that I'm safe,” I said slowly to Keir, “I'd like to go back to San Francisco and make sure my Dad is alright.”

It was late at night, my coronal celebration had finally wound down and Keir had escorted me to my bedroom. He followed me in, helping me gather my long train before he shut the door behind us. Cat went straight to the bed and did her usual three circles before she curled into a fur-ball and went to sleep. Keir frowned and waved us over to the couches before the fireplace. He glanced pointedly at the piled logs and then over to me. I lit them with a thought and he smiled delightedly as he took a seat. I sat beside him, my elaborate dress foaming around us and over the side of the couch. I punched my arms down into my lap, flattening the puffiness like risen dough.

“I can send someone to check on Ewan,” Keir said reasonably. “There's no call for you to risk the trip.”

“I thought you said I was safe now,” I shot back.

“As safe as I can make you,” he nodded. “That doesn't mean my brother will cease his efforts to stop you from sitting on the twilight throne. He's not so easily swayed.”

“So my life is still in danger,” I stated calmly.

“Not exactly,” he frowned. “He can't kill you anymore but there are other ways to prevent you from ruling.”

“What? Lock me in a dungeon?” I huffed and then froze when Keir stared at me intently. “He could, couldn't he?”

“That would be an option,” Keir sighed. “Now that you have awakened your fairy magic, you will stop aging, Seren. You have claimed your sidhe immortality.”

“What?” I gaped. I wasn't sure if I wanted to live forever. “No one told me that was part of the deal.”

“This isn't a deal, Daughter,” he said sternly, “these are the facts of your life. You are a sidhe and that makes you immortal... unless someone were to kill you, that is. I too am immortal, so hopefully you will never have to rule alone but still, the threat of you becoming Queen is enough to make my brother desperate to prevent it.”

“So not only would I be imprisoned but I'd be imprisoned forever?” I whispered.

“It's a possibility,” he nodded. “Similar things have been done to circumvent the Sluagh.”

“Well, at least he can't kill me,” I said dryly.

“Now, you see why I don't want you to take the risk,” he offered.

“But I have to,” I sighed. “I can't just disappear from Dad's life. I owe him more than that. He raised me and trained me. He loves me, he's my father.”

“Yes, I know you think of him as such,” Keir looked stricken.

“Look I realize that this is hard for you too and I want to have a relationship with you but I can't just turn off my feelings for the man who I've known to be my father since I first knew what that word meant.
