I sat back in my seat and ran my tongue over my dry lips. I have a lot of work I have to catch up on in my other classes, I told Bethany.

Her face fell a little. I knew from the Search that she really was only interested in practicing her abilities, and that the Queen and her weren't very close. Bethany was the Queen's niece, and while she recognized her as such, the Queen didn't pay too much attention to Bethany. This was something that bothered her. She looked up to her aunt and wanted to become a stronger Searcher to impress her. I felt horrible about my refusal.

Okay, well, maybe after you catch up with your work then? Bethany asked.

I smiled. This was a good solution. It made for an indefinite time frame. Sure, I said. That would be cool.

Her face lit up and my heart sank. It seemed like there was always something in my life that I had to hide or lie about. Up until a month ago, it had been Alexa that I had to keep secrets from, and yes, lie to. I'd let my Mother convince me that it was the right thing to do, because I knew that she only wanted what was best for us. The knowledge of my nature couldn't have been avoided because I require blood to stay alive, but while Alexa can drink it, it is not a necessity for her, so we'd kept her in the dark. Now, I seriously questioned that decision to keep things from her. In fact, I felt that we'd been just plain wrong to do so. And, I was beginning to believe that lies of that magnitude always backfired. I was lucky that Alexa was so loyal that she just forgave me for my deceit, but that didn't change the fact that she'd been thrust into a world she was nowhere near prepared for. And, she'd left. To be fair, I'd been unprepared for this world as well, but instead of lying to Alexa, now, it seemed like I was lying to everyone all the time, and agreeing to things that I had no intention to do. All because it was so necessary. The only question was when all of this lying would backfire.

Ms. Baker came around the room to check on our progress. How is it going, ladies? she asked us.

Good, Bethany said. She jerked her head toward me. She's got some incredible walls in place.

I cursed in my head, but smiled modestly up at Ms. Baker, who was studying me in a way that made me shift a little in my seat. Not really, I said.

By the grace of God, the bell signifying the end of the class sounded, saving me from further torture. I didn't miss the fact that Ms. Baker continued studying me for a bit, but students were already zipping their backpacks and arranging the desks back into their original places. I pretended I didn't notice her assessment,
