I tightened my hold on her, pressing her head against my chest and hugging her with all the relief and gratitude I felt.

"Fufi-uh," came her voice, and I realized I was crushing her. Instantly I rel axed my hold.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"It's okay," she said, drawing a deep breath. "I'm glad you're here." She loo ked up at me, her hazel eyes wide and red rimmed from crying. She still looke d incredibly beautiful, with that strength I always saw in her.

She gave me a watery smile. "What time is it?"

I glanced at the horizon. "Looks like the sun's about to come up." "I've got to get home," she said, looking at me with wide eyes. "My parents will be u p any second!"

I nodded.

I parked one house down from hers, and we sat for a minute, casting out our senses.

"I'm not getting much," I said. "But it's still only five till six."

"I don't feel much, either," she said, sliding out of my jacket. "I guess I'll ri sk it. This is one day I won't have to rush to get ready for school."

"Tell them you were getting the newspaper," I suggested, pointing at the pap er on the front walk.

Morgan gave an ironic snort, glancing down at her soiled T-shirt and feet, then kissed me quickly and opened her door.

"Morgan, this will end today," I said. "No matter what. As soon as I think Al yce is up, I'll call her and Bethany. Come to Practical Magick today after sc hool. We'll be there, and we won't leave till we have a plan."

She gave me a wan little smile, then ran up the cold front walk. She pause d for a moment in front of the door, then carefully eased it open. Seconds later her hand came back outside, its thumb pointing up. Everything was f ine. Her par¬ents would soon be up, and Mary K. was awake. Reluctantly I s tarted my engine and headed for home.

Back home I went straight to my room. For almost half an hour I just lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Morgan had almost died because of Cal. I h ad to get a grip and then get to work with a cool head and a strong will. F

inally I got up and started flipping through piles of books, looking for so mething that I could use to stop him. It was clear Cat's anam had somehow s urvived. I guessed that bastard had been stronger than I thought. Obviously he just couldn't get over the idea that Morgan loved someone else and that the someone else was me, his hated half brother. But now he wanted her so badly that he was willing to kill her to be with her? The thought was unbearable.

At seven-thirty I called Alyce and told her everything. She was horrified an d also astonished that it had happened despite Bethany's sleep potion. She a greed this was too seri¬ous to continue for another day and said she'd meet us at four that afternoon.
