When I came through the doors, she rolled her eyes at me. Usually, I was on the giving end of that gesture. I never realized how annoying it was to receive it. Between being pissed off at her and frustrated with Levi, I was sure this conversation was going to lead to nothing productive, but I’d see if I could provoke her into saying something that would help us identify the third witch.

“I get it,” I said.

“Don’t play with me, Grace,” she said.

“No, seriously, I get it. You followed your agenda plus ate cookies out of the jar. Then your hand got stuck. That stinks,” I said.

“You may think that I don’t care for him, but I do. I just hoped that one day he would see things differently,” she said.

“I’m all about different,” I said.

“You don’t get it either. It’s the whole system of queens and kings. The elites vs. the lowly,” she said. I didn’t know where she stood in that hierarchy but considering that she worked for my father automatically put her under his thumb.

“You think you’re fighting for the little guy?” I asked.

“Yes,” she smiled, seeming quite self-satisfied.

“You’re wrong. My goal is to teach the little guy to fight for himself. No one needs a queen or a king. Just a big freaking family to back each other up. That’s what I am about. You were a part of that. At least I thought you were,” I said.

“You sound disappointed,” she said.

“I am. In myself for trusting you, but I’m all about trusting someone until they prove me wrong,” I said.

“Then what?” she asked.

“I extinguish them with extreme prejudice,” I replied. “You’re on my list.”

“I’m not afraid of you,” she said.

I skipped inside the cell, then pushed her against the wall. Sneering in her face, I allowed the winter to fill the cell. Ice formed on the floor, and she barely held her footing. I saw the fear in her eyes. That dark part of me laughed at it. The ice attached to her legs was crawling up to her thighs as it encased her.

“And I thought fairies couldn’t lie,” I smirked.

“Grace.”

“I’m fine.”

“I’ll never betray them,” she said.

“That’s fine. You can rot,” I said, releasing the spell, then skipping back to the door. “Goodbye, Mable. The next time I see you, you will either tell me what I want to know, or I will kill you. If you change your mind about squealing, send word.”

She started to speak, but I closed the door to the cells. I meant it. She would either tell me or not. It was up to her. No more torture.

Levi followed me out of the compound without saying a word. He was getting awfully good at learning to keep his mouth shut. When he didn’t though, I had to listen. I slowed my march to the truck and turned back to see his face. I cared about what he thought of me. He walked straight up to me with a solemn look.

“I am always on your side,” he said.
