Chapter Eleven

Meela

Rich black earth soft beneath my feet. Cool spring breeze whispers through my hair. Bright sunshine dances upon my arms. I spin in a field at the edge of the Dark Forest. Nature embraces me, pleasing all my senses. The Dark Forest beckons. On the edge of the tree line, there are two people. They are so far from me that I can’t make out their faces, but I know them—of this I’m certain. My heart longs to be with them, to see them, to share my life with them. I turn to go to them but—

Did you kill her?

Would she be breathing if I killed her?

What kind of vision did you stop her with?

The voices of the Roya Tripsett interrupts my dream. I’m pulled back from the Dark Forest and the two people I long to join, and instead hear three voices bickering.

She’s been asleep a very long time, Taraz thinks.

Go to hell, both of you, Sarkany thinks. I did not hurt her. I gave her the prettiest vision I know how to create.

That’s not saying much, thinks Leo.

My mind swims from the richness of the fields and the beckoning of the forest, back to this reality. I break the surface, and with a deep breath, my eyelids flutter open.

“There she is.” Sarkany stands beside my bed; the worry on his face subsides and is replaced by a smile. “Told you I didn’t kill her.” His gaze slides toward Taraz and Leo. The three of them surround my bed, Sarkany on my left, Leo at my right, and Taraz at the foot of the bed.

“Sometimes you’re not great at controlling the power,” Leo says.

“You keep to your own mind abilities and don’t worry about mine,” Sarkany grumbles. “I do just fine.”

We do just fine, he thinks.

I turn to Sarkany and wait for the thoughts of the other two Roya brothers to enter my mind. But there is…only silence.

Where are they? I think.

They cannot hear us here, Sarkany thinks, lifting an eyebrow. The Goddess has created a place for only you and I to be alone. To think our thoughts. To explore our…he tilts his head, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath…feelings.

That’s the word that’s so difficult for you? Feelings?

“Wait,” Leo says. He steps closer to me and leans forward, looking into my eyes. “Are you two privately linked?”

Don’t tell him, Sarkany thinks. “Why do you ask, brother?”

“Because you know that a private link with another, without Taraz and me, is virtually impossible.”

“Certainly a wall can be placed,” Taraz says, looking between Sarkany and Leo, “but a truly private link can happen only if…” Taraz does not finish his sentence. The muscle in his jaw flinches and his gaze lands on Sarkany.

The three brothers stand silent around my bed, but their eyes flit from one to the other. I’m locked out of their thoughts. I know that they are communicating, their body language and facial expressions make this obvious to me, but they have managed to create a block that doesn’t allow me to hear the thoughts that they exchange with one another.
