Twelve

I woke at four in the morning with an instant awareness of what I’d done the evening before. The vision of that piece of metal flying toward Oanen’s torso filled my mind along with the smell of Eliana’s burned dress. Guilt threatened to suffocate me.

“Please let it not be that bad,” I said as I reached for my phone.

I had a message typed and ready to send when I hesitated. If Oanen was hurt and recovering, I didn’t want to wake him. Yet, if he was awake, he’d likely be worrying about me. That was his normal mode of operation. I frowned and looked at the phone. If he was awake, though, why didn’t I have a text from him already? Worried, I sent my first text followed quickly by a second.

Are you okay? Please tell me you’re okay.

Please don’t give up.

When there was no immediate reply, I told myself he was still sleeping and sent a text to Eliana.

I’m sorry about last night. Are you and Oanen all right?

Instead of hovering near the phone until she answered, I went downstairs to make myself something to eat.

Two hours later, dressed and ready for the Academy, my self-delusion had evaporated. Neither Oanen nor Eliana had answered me. That could only mean one of two things. I’d either hurt them both so badly that they couldn’t answer me. Or, they’d both given up on me. I doubted the latter. While Oanen might want to give up because of jealousy, I couldn’t see Eliana giving up on me for what I’d done.

After a twenty-minute internal debate over just going to their house, I drove to Girderon early and continued to worry about both of them. Ashlyn arrived not long after with Eugene in the passenger seat of her car.

“Hey, Megan,” she said as soon as she opened the door. “I’m glad you’re here. I was a little nervous about bringing Eugene on my own.”

It clicked that Ashlyn had been at the Roost last night, and I hurried toward her.

“Have you heard from Eliana? I’m worried that I hurt her last night.”

Surprise flitted over Ashlyn’s features.

“Hurt her? How?”

“You didn’t hear the car explode after I went outside?”

“No. After Oanen hit Fenris, Eliana saw you and Oanen head outside and followed you. She sent a text later, saying that you guys were all heading home and that Adira would make sure that we got home okay.”

“I missed a fight?” Eugene asked.

I turned my attention to him. Not only did he now wear clean clothes that complemented his jet-black hair and dark brown eyes, he also looked happy.

“Don’t worry. You’re bound to see a lot more if you decide to stay here.”

He laughed.

“It’s already decided. I love it here.”

Ashlyn rolled her eyes but looked amused.

“You haven’t even had your first day of school,” I said.

“Doesn’t matter. Look at how clean I am. They can do what they want to me in there, and I would die happy because I never thought I’d be clean and warm again.
