MORLAN MOTIONED TO HIS minions and two of them took up a stance on either side of Cole, who was trussed up with a magical cord.

I was beyond irritated and without a thought, I zapped Morlan’s men. They fell in two heaps, quite unharmed and would sleep for hours. I was changing. I knew it at once. My first instinct had been to kill the two guards. It had taken control to simply put them temporarily out of commission. Was it the ‘key’? Was it turning me dark? Or was it life turning me away from the naïve young woman into a warrior?

I gave Morlan a look and said, “You should have taken the deal, because now you have made me mad…really, really mad.”

Even before I was the key, I was an über witch! I raised a brow and Cole was free from the magical cord around his body. He shouted, “Come on, Dilly…time to leave!”

“Go—just go, now! I’ve got this,” I shouted back at him, and gave him a look I am sure made him understand. I was not budging from what I intended to do.

“If you don’t follow in the next couple of minutes, we’ll be coming in force!” he said thunderously, and I knew it was meant for Morlan to understand.

So, I’ll give you one last chance to make this right. You want me and the power of the ‘key’, so do as I ask. Save the core of Rucker, stop the beast or give us the spell you were using when the creature came through. Do that and you and I will work out our differences and rule together.” Could he see the lie in my words? Could he see the hatred behind every move I made? “Because, if you don’t, Morlan, if you don’t do one of those things, then Rucker will be destroyed.”

He considered me and said, “Dilly, I want you, yes, of course the key is important to our rule. You don’t know or understand the power you have inside of you. It is everything. It will take us to a new world if this one is destroyed, but besides the key, I want you, I always have.”

Kill him—cut him—do it now, that warrior yelled in my head.

“Well then, do you want me to want you back? I don’t right now, but if you did this for me, perhaps one day I might?” Did those words cross my lips? “Do you want me to see more than
