Chapter 20 - Draven

I stalk around the circle, my eyes flitting back and forth to the three people in the room that have yet to prove themselves trustworthy. If even one of them so much as blinks towards her, I'll rip their fucking heads off.

Calista gasps Hawthorne's name, and then leans over the mirror, calling to him as if he could hear her. From my vantage point, I can't see what's happening, and I don't want to take my eyes off the threats that surround her. So when she disappears into thin air, I'm frantic with rage and worry.

"Where the fuck did she go?!" I roar, breaking the circle and standing where she just was, not a second ago.

"I didn't see a portal," Seth says, his voice low. We need to figure out what just happened, but we're still not in the position to give away her secrets without putting her further at risk.

"What just happened?" asks Rayne as the burned woman scoots her chair back against the wall. Smart, considering the last time Calista blew her top, she got a singed arm as a token of her appreciation.

"Did she just—"

Ada's question gets interrupted when two people all but drop into the room. This time I can see the telltale remnants of a portal snapping shut before I can even think of diving through it.

Marcus, the grouchy asshole from before, lands with a grunt, smashing the mirror. The woman with the ginger braid knocks into Seth, who uses his wings to right them both before they crash to the ground.

Marcus and Brenna scramble back, staring at Seth with wide, fearful eyes.

"Told you they were important guests," Heather says, trying to break the tension in the room.

"What happened?" I ask. "Where's Calista?"

"So that was her?" Brenna asks, looking at Marcus.

"Don't look at him, look at me," I hiss. "Where is she? What did you do to her?"

"We didn't do anything to her," Marcus grunts. "She's the one that appeared out of nowhere and threw us into that portal."

"How did she do that?" Brenna asks. "I've never met anyone with that kind of power."

Ada nods. "That's just the tip of the iceberg. I saw her burn a man alive from the inside out."

My eyes narrow at Ada, and she notices my glare.

"I was there, at her aunt's house. I was undercover, and I was supposed to be shielding Bodin." A malicious grin spreads across her face. "I might have accidentally dropped it, though. Although, honestly, she's powerful enough and could have easily overpowered me with how angry she was."

"You're the void," I say.

Ada nods. "Yes, and before you say anything, don't think for a second that I enjoyed any part of helping them. I had a part to play for the greater good. That's why I broke cover to get Hawthorne out. I didn't know who he was, but I knew he was hers, and that The Sanctum Society couldn't get their hands on his power. I hoped that if I saved him rather than killing him, Calista might agree to help us.
