By the time I finished my shower and made it back downstairs, I was feeling more alive. Nix and Cass were sitting on the living room couch in front of the fire, both dressed in PJs that I assumed Nix had conjured.

With the rustic chic surroundings, they looked like they’d just gotten off the slopes instead of the mess we’d just been through.

“Burns all better?” Cass asked.

“Yeah. How’re you guys?”

Nix sipped a mug of something that steamed, then sighed and said, “Much better.”

“Same.” Cass handed me her mug. “Try this. It’s excellent.”

I took a sip and grinned. Spiced wine. It tasted like warm, sweet Christmas in a mug. “Where are the guys?”

“In the kitchen, chatting about manly stuff. Thai food should be here soon.”

My stomach grumbled.

“Hey, why didn’t you take that demon’s electricity power?” Cass asked.

The question was so out of the blue that I almost spilled the wine.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I saw you hesitate.” Cass’s gaze was concerned. “You were in a life or death situation, and you could have had a power that would light up any jerk who touched you. But you didn’t take it. You should have taken it.”

I lowered the wine, my heart pounding. “Of course I couldn’t take it. What about the side effects?”

“Of what? Zapping people? I know you had a bad run-in with the Ubilaz demon’s power, but he’s an anomaly. Most powers are simpler. Helpful. You need all the help you can get.”

My mind raced. She had a point, and I knew it. But I was afraid. And being called out on that fear sucked.

“I know what you mean,” I said. “But we’ve spent so many years fighting our FireSoul natures and not stealing powers that it’s second nature for me not to do that. And I’m not like you, Cass. You have experience taking powers. You’ve learned to control them. What if I can’t control them like you do?”

She reached for my arm and gave me a squeeze. The love in her gesture calmed me a bit.

“I was a mess, too, remember?” Cass said. “I was afraid of my magic, and that got me nowhere. But I fumbled my way through my changing powers. You will, too.”

“I agree with Cass,” Nix said. “You have something big coming. I know you’re afraid you can’t handle it… Or handle the new powers that keep cropping up, but you can. I know you can.”

“And you have to,” Cass said.

I nodded. “I know. I thought of taking his power, but I freaked out. Next time, maybe I will.”

“If it’s a power that could help you, then I think you definitely should,” Cass said. “You need a stronger arsenal to fight whatever is coming.”

The doorbell rang, and Roarke strode out of the kitchen. I caught his gaze briefly and he smiled, then went to collect the food.

I was famished by the time the cartons and silverware were laid out on the table. So was everyone else, apparently. We each grabbed a plastic container at random and dug in.
