Chapter 14: Heaven

“What’s got you in such a tizzy?” Sibyl asks that evening.

I look up from where I’ve been making happy faces on my plate with sliced tomato, mushrooms and peas, and grin at her.

“Nothing,” I say, simply. But it’s not nothing. It’s far from nothing! I feel like jumping onto the roof and singing out my joy. I’d just spent a whole hour and a half with Bane, memorizing magical glyphs and their meanings, and he hadn’t called me ‘slut’ or ‘whore’ after I’d asked him not to, not even once! It truly seems like whatever I’d done with the pink haze has made a permanent difference in how he’s reacting to me, and the thought that I now have some form of defense against him and any others who might want to hurt me makes me feel over the moon. All I need to do now is to test it against another Horseman or a mean girl or two to be sure that it works. Before then, I want to keep my new power to myself, just in case.

“I’m just really glad to reach another weekend,” I shrug, when Sybil quirks a brow at me.

Sibyl smiles. “Yes, they do come eventually. But I know what you mean, I think I haven’t had a single dull day since you came. Except for when I’d petrified myself in the forest,” she makes a face. “Anyway, do you have any plans for tomorrow?”

“Just going to Themis with Noah,” I say brightly. “I’m going to get a dress for the Dance. How about you?”

“Oh! Can I come?” Sybil exclaims, before immediately backtracking, “Unless it’s a date… is it a date?” She raises a brow knowingly at me.

“Not quite,” I laugh, “We’re splitting up once we get there, so you can totally come.”

“Yay!” Sybil squeals before she covers her mouth and looks at me. We both spill over into giggles. This is the happiest I’ve been since I came to Pandorax, and I luxuriate in how wonderful it feels.

“I’m glad you’re that excited about the Masquerade,” Christian says, pulling up a chair to sit between us. Immediately, Sybil and I freeze and exchange worried looks.

Of course, I can never catch a break.

I steel myself and turn to give him a polite smile. “Christian.”

“I was thinking about sending you a dress, but… I think I’m looking forward to seeing what you choose to wear for me,” he says with a smirk. “Just don’t be too much of a goody-two-shoes, little lamb,” he says mockingly, reaching out to stroke my hair. “If you’ve got it, you should flaunt it.”

‘You’re dancing with him?’

I purse my lips as Sybil mouths her surprise at me, then turn to face him. “You’re not the only name on my dance card, Christian,” I say. “And I’ll choose what to wear myself, thank you very much.” No doubt if I let him choose, he’d get something completely inappropriate.

“Oh?” He leans closer, his blue eyes sparking. “Well, whoever it is will just have to get in line.
