Chapter Thirteen.

Fenella felt the red opal chips in the back of her eyes fire up, and the smoke around her ankles was instantly dark.

She had watched Mary and Mr. Penny’s interaction on a device that displayed the picture on a transparent screen. Around the picture, lines of text in a strange language scrolled constantly, giving Fenella all kinds of data about the situation.

Fenella was furious, not only at Mr. Penny but also at herself for providing him the ammunition to damage Mary. She should have anticipated that he would react. It was clear from his aura that he had no real self-control. And who better to take his anger out on than his significantly weaker fiancée?

From behind her, Eldryth placed a hand on her shoulder. “What is done is done,” she said in a surprisingly soothing voice. “All we can do now is to move forward.”

Fenella’s jaw tightened. How could she move forward? Everything she did only resulted in making the situation worse and worse.

And how could she rescue Mary from Mr. Penny’s clutches when she could not understand his motivations or his methods? It went against everything she had ever been taught about humans. In fact, he wasn’t human at all. He was more like an animal, a vicious, caged animal that enjoyed toying with its victims.

Fenella’s anger increased. She had all this dark power, all this soul magic, and she couldn’t even help a single, defenceless woman. She levitated, very slightly off the floor, and the black smoke built into a coat enveloping her. Her pink dress turned bruise-purple, and her fingernails lengthened even as her hands wrinkled. The air around her became cold and gusty, picking up not only the transparent viewing device but also any other items in Eldryth’s office that were sufficiently light.

“Fenella,” warned Eldryth, but Fenella was beyond warning.

“Why should I not just kill him?” She turned away from Eldryth and spoke to herself, feeling the burn of her power growing within her. Her eyes burned red in her eye sockets; her hair electrified. “He has proven himself incapable of humanity. Therefore, he is not human. I should just kill him.”

“Fenella.” This time Eldryth’s voice was sharp. Fenella spun to face her, a sneer upon her deathlike face.

“I don’t care for your rules and regulations and I will not be bound by them.” In her dark state, Fenella felt reckless and supreme. No mere light fae, no matter how aged, could best her.

“I do, and you will,” replied Eldryth firmly, standing fast. Even though Fenella’s anger whipped the air around her, Eldryth seemed untouched by the tirade. She stood serene, as Fenella’s wrath created havoc in the room.

“No,” proclaimed Fenella, the fire flashing from inside her dead eyes and lighting up the inside of her mouth. “He does not deserve life.”

“Who are you to decide who deserves to live or die?”

“I am Fae,” screamed Fenella. “I am of the dark. I am the avenger of souls.” She knew it to be so. The soul
