Shattered

Despite my anticipation at the possibility of seeing Devlin again, and my need to offer my own apology, the next few weeks flew by without any faelah sightings or awkward encounters with Mikael. I partially blamed my professors for the distraction since they had started loading us down with outlines and review handouts for the upcoming exams. I could have complained like the rest of my classmates, but maybe getting ready for finals would keep my thoughts focused on the real world for once. And that, for some reason, reminded me that I had a friend who needed rescuing from the demons that chased me. During the week following the Samhain bonfire, I didn’t see Evan at all. I had started to think that maybe he’d finally been taken completely in by the Daramorr, but the following Monday he showed up to class. I wasted no time, descending upon him like a vulture as soon as our instructor excused us.

“Evan! Hey, how have you been? You had me worried at the bonfire,” I said.

He only shrugged, tossing back his black, shaggy hair. “I guess I’d been coming down with something. That’s why I was gone all last week. Sick with the flu I think.”

I nodded grimly, accepting his excuse but not fully believing it. He had been sick, I had no doubt about that, but probably not with the flu.

Feeling like my old spunky self, I slugged him on the arm and said, “Well, try not to make me think you’ve gone off and died the next time you get sick, okay? Text me or send me an email or something.”

He scowled and rubbed his arm but his eyes looked a little brighter.

“All right,” he grumbled.

Satisfied Evan was safe, mentally and physically, for the time being, I tackled my next issue: Moira. She, too, seemed to be avoiding me. For nearly two weeks, we didn’t share shifts at the Green Tea Leaf. When I finally came in one evening and found her hovering over the cash register, I nearly panicked. Now what do I do? I asked myself. Then, realizing I was acting like an idiot, I sniffed and held my head high. As far as she knew, I never had that conversation in the car with Devlin. She was still the air-headed, boy-crazy, vain Moira I’d come to know. Not Faelorehn. Not the sister of the Daramorr. You’ve got this Robyn. Time to channel some of that sass and confidence you had in abundance whilst in high school.

“Moira!” I said with amplified cheer, “I haven’t seen you in ages.”

She returned my smile and twirled her hand in the air. “Oh, I know! Something I ate at that bonfire of yours didn’t agree with me. Food poisoning I think.”

Huh, go figure, all these people coming down with something all of a sudden. Yeah right.

“Sorry about that. Must not have been something I ate because I felt fine the next day.”

“Well, I’m glad Margie’s new schedule has us working together again,” she said nonchalantly.
