Chapter 3

Everyone was now chattering away. No doubt they were discussing my use of magic in the prohibited area. The board members had gathered around too. They were staring at me along with everyone else in the room. Soon they would want an explanation.

“I had no choice but use the magic,” I said to Nicolas after I hugged him.

“You saved our lives,” he said, wrapping me in his strong arms.

When we broke from the embrace, Liam was there to hug me too. As he held onto me, I looked over his shoulder and spotted Kristin glaring at me. Avoiding her attention, I cast my gaze over at the board members. Liam finally released me and I stepped back.

“How do you think it fell?” I asked, peering up.

“It must have come loose or there was a faulty installation,” Liam said, running his hand through his hair.

“Ms. LaVeau?” the male voice called out.

One of the board members had called out to me. Too bad I wouldn’t be able to ignore him.

Reluctantly, I stepped over to where he stood.

The man hovered over me with his six foot five frame. “Ms. LaVeau, there’s no way we can continue with the ceremony after this mess.”

I glanced back at the broken chandelier. “We’ll just have to get everyone to stay off the dance floor.”

I was sure that the hotel would understand about the broken chandelier. After all, it wasn’t our fault that the thing was about to fall. They should be grateful that I’d saved Nicolas and Liam from injury or worse.

Mr. Larsen scowled and then said, “You’re right. We should get on with the show. Can you have everyone leave the dance floor now?”

I motioned for the crowd to leave the area. Some people had already gone back to their tables, but most everyone else still stood around staring. Finally, we were all headed back to the tables when another board member stopped me. Mr. Jenkins whispered in my ear.

I looked at him, and said, “Are you sure?”

He nodded. “Yes, we’re positive.”

“What’s wrong?” Nicolas asked.

“They can’t find Christian Andrews. He was supposed to present the award for coven leader.”

“Can’t you just do it without him?” Annabelle asked.

Mr. Jenkins leaned down and whispered in my ear again.

I looked at Annabelle, and said, “Apparently Christian is the only one who has the info for the winner.”

“They have to know who they voted for,” Annabelle said.

“The ballots will have to be counted again. They can find out, but it will take a little bit longer,” I said.

“Well, let’s look around and see if we can find him,” Liam said.

I nodded. “He has to be around here somewhere.”

We all agreed to go in different areas to find the man. I had a bad feeling about this though.

Just as we were turning to leave, Liam said, “Wait, where’s Kristin?”

“I haven’t seen her,” I said.

Nicolas shook his head. “Me neither.”

“Maybe she went to the ladies’ room,” Annabelle said. “I’ll go check.”

Annabelle recruited Jon to go with her. There was no way she wanted to go back to that ladies’ room alone after what we’d seen.
