Chapter 13

Kephas

After spending the night uncertain what to do about Goddess Annie, Aethan decided to make her breakfast. He found some eggs in the tall cold box and a frying pan, and had fussed with one of the large devices in the kitchen, but had been unable to get it to work as he wanted. So, he’d taken the bits of the wooden chair I’d crushed and searched for a reasonable place to put a small fire. Del had pointed out that the built-in basin in the cooking area had easily available water hidden in the wall, just like there’d been in the shower, so Aethan had started it there.

I marveled at the quick minds of my friends. On my own, I wouldn’t have known what to do with that shower. Del had shown me how to use it, turning the knobs to bring forth hot and cold water. And while I was among the smartest of the stone titans — one of the reasons I’d been chosen as emissary — that, unfortunately, wasn’t saying much. My kind were slow and ponderous — in mind and body — like the rocks from which we’d supposedly been spawned.

Except a few seconds after lighting the fire, a high-pitched, ear-piercing, constant beeping screamed through the common area.

“We’re under attack,” Aethan yelped, and the guys turned, back to back, creating a triangle, their fists up and their gazes sweeping over the room, searching for whoever or whatever was screaming its battle cry.

“Where is it coming from?” Del asked.

“I can’t see anyone,” Aethan replied.

Rion’s gaze jerked to the ceiling. “Above us?”

Then the door to Goddess Annie’s bedroom crashed open, and she stormed into the common area, that strange pink fuzzy robe tied tight about her small frame like armor.

She looked ferocious and beautiful, with her hands clenched into fists, her pale red hair hanging loose and wild around her small face, and the speckles on her cheeks dark against her fair skin like war paint.

There was fire in her eyes, but it wasn’t the good kind. It wasn’t the passionate kind that she’d had when we’d first met her. No, this was an angry fire. And that fire was directed entirely at us and not searching for any danger.

“What the hell is going on?” she yelled over the screeching.

Her body trembled with fury, but there was more emotion within her than just rage. I didn’t think she’d slept well. She seemed tired and there was… a resentment or frustration behind her anger. I might not have been as quick of mind as my friends, but I’d always been good at sensing how others were feeling.

Annie stalked over to the cooking area, turned on the water and put out the fire. “There’s a perfectly good stove, right there!” She pointed at the device Aethan had been trying to work earlier.

“Goddess,” Aethan said, “I’d suspected as much, but—”

She glared at him. “You couldn’t have just waited for me to get up and asked?”

“We thought you might be tired and wished to have a meal ready for you when you woke,” Aethan replied.
