Chapter 21

She took a deep breath. “Okay, here’s the thing,” Sasha said to them, as unaware of my presence as she had been for almost the entire time I’d been attached to her. “There are these guys after me. I know we always talked about the possibility of that happening. Well, it is.”

Harker frowned, and Bonbon took a step forward. Was she reaching for something? It was hard to tell if I was just being amped up and suspicious, but she was so hyperreactive that any stray twitch had me thinking she was going to do something crazy.

Sasha didn’t seem to notice, though. “At first I didn’t know if it was just a coincidence, but when I got rid of them once, they came right back even stronger than before.”

The other Eternals fell so silent that I let go of Sasha and spun around to face them. For an instant, I had convinced myself that they’d all conspired to log out at once, but there they still there.

Harker reached out and put his hand on Sasha’s shoulder, exactly where I just had. A pang of jealousy shadowed my heart, but I shoved it aside. There was much more at stake than that. “Let’s head into the staff room, okay? It sounds like you’ve got a story worth telling, and standing around here won’t do us much good.”

It was an odd request, and I didn’t like it.

Sasha gave him a thumbs up, though. “You’re probably right,” she said. She went off ahead of the rest. Since I was the only one looking in their direction and they didn’t know I was there, I saw them for exactly who they were. Harker was shaking his head in mock sadness while Bonbon mimed wiping sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

For his part, Winter_Will didn’t look like he knew what to do. He was terrified, though. It might’ve been a little bit hard to tell since his skin was way paler than most people selected, but the guilty look on his face was unmistakable.

I didn’t know what was about to happen. Sasha was about to give up the only power she had, and when she did her Guild would know exactly how best to sell her down the river.

All four of them went into that room and sat down around a little oval table. I followed, though I had to dart in pretty quickly when Winter started to close the door. I was pretty sure that I could possibly pass through it the same way I had the gate in the library, but I didn’t see the point in risking it.

Everybody was watching her, and
