Chapter 6

NICK SCANNED THE RUNES Zoe had found on the latest victim. “Do you recognise these?” He stood in Raf’s office that night with the lamps burning, casting shadows around the array of books and artefacts that littered the room.

Raf frowned. “No, they’re unlike anything I’ve seen before. Some fey use things older than even I have encountered.”

“They remind me of something I saw as a kid, but I can’t remember what.” Nick shook his head, wishing he could remember where he’d seen them before.

“Perhaps you should visit your father.” Raf moved around his mahogany desk and sat down.

Nick scowled. “I’d rather be flayed alive. They look like marks made to influence or persuade someone to do something. The caster must somehow be influencing each fey. Zoe said she didn’t find much power in the latest victim either.”

Raf’s brow creased. “She’s getting better at using her magic then?”

“Yeah, slowly.” He grinned. “I don’t care what the Circle thinks, it’s better to have her on our side.”

“Just as long as you keep an eye on her.”

Nick frowned. “Zoe told me you showed her the barrier today and how to seal it. Why? I didn’t think you would trust her with something as important as that, given how unpredictable you think she is.” He’d been surprised when Zoe had told him what she and Raf had been doing.

“I wanted to test her, that’s all.” Raf shuffled papers on his desk.

“Come on, Raf, you don’t believe she’d hurt anyone, do you?” He scoffed. “I know her, she’s not a threat. I don’t know why the Circle thinks she’s so dangerous, she hasn’t hurt anyone. You’d see what a good person she is if you got to know her.”

“I think you’re getting too close to her.” Raf gave him a hard look.

Nick laughed. “She’s the only other guardian besides me. Yeah, I like her, but I haven’t crossed any lines.”

“See that you don’t. I know you feel a connection with her, but we still don’t know who she is or where she came from.”

“What does that even matter?” Nick demanded. “Jeez, I thought you were on her side.” He was getting sick of people insinuating that he and Zoe were more than just good friends.

“I’m not saying I believe she killed anyone, but she is protected by dangerous magic, and does things other guardians can’t.” Raf shook his head. “

“So do I. That doesn’t make her evil, or whatever you think she is.” He stood up. “Never mind, I have a lead to follow with Zoe. Jesus, I can’t believe you.”

Of all the people he’d thought were suspicious of Zoe, he hadn’t thought Raf to be one of them. He turned to go, then frowned. “You know more about her, don’t you?” Raf had warned him to stay away from Zoe when they first met.

Raf shook his head. “I know nothing, just that you should be careful. If the Circle...”

Nick’s jaw tightened. “The Circle won’t do anything to her,” he warned. “I won’t let them.
