Chapter 12

I heard a key jiggle the handle as the owner unlocked the door. I quickly grabbed the rag on my desk and stood behind the door. I had waited all afternoon. All the snacks in our room were gone because I didn’t want to leave to get lunch. I had ignored a few texts from Kaden and Trevor. I did answer one from Liam after he asked about my hand and shoulder. I told him they were fine and left it at that. The rest of the day I tried to do homework or read but my mind constantly drifted to Shawna and her betrayal. Well, I was about to get answers.

The door opened and Shawna came in looking weary. I didn’t give her time to react. I shoved the door closed with my foot and leapt on her back, bringing the rag with chloroform on it to her mouth and nose. Her shriek was muffled, and she threw us around the room attempting to toss me off. My back hurt after being knocked against walls and our desks, but I held on strong. Soon her struggles lessened, and she slumped. I caught her before she hit the floor and pushed her into her desk chair. Lacking rope, I used our bed sheets to tie her hands and feet to the chair and added some duct tape to her mouth. I made sure her nose was not blocked so she could still breath then sat back in my desk chair to wait for her to wake.

My hands shook and blood pounded in my ears. I just attacked my roommate. Oh my God. I could be expelled for that. Probably locked up in an institution for that. Then the image of the cross with a sword in front came to mind and I narrowed my eyes at Shawna. She was the enemy. A trusted friend who had lied to me. I gripped my chair arms in anger.

“Owen!” I shouted, not caring if anyone outside heard.

I was upset with him too. Everything was fine until he said only to trust the Horsemen. I hated that he was right. I wanted to trust in someone else, but it seemed no one in my life was who they said they were.

A light appeared in front of me, momentarily blocking my line of sight to Shawna. Anticipation thrummed through me and I stood up with a smile. I may be upset that he was right, but I would always be happy to see him. A moment later, Owen’s lighted, almost translucent, form appeared grinning at me.

“I knew you could do it. What were you feeling right before you called out to me?” he asked, unaware of the Templar tied up behind him.

I blinked at him, thrown off by the question. I tilted my head trying to remember what was different than earlier when I tried to call him. Images of his earnest expression telling me not to trust anyone then Shawna’s betrayal made my chest ache.
