ITâS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. APPARENTLY.
Julian had noticed the sketchbook when moving Sachiâs bag the night before. He knew it would be beyond inappropriate to pry, but he had been unable to rid those drawings Mira had sent a few days earlier from his mind, and knowing now of Miraâs connection to Sachi, he was curious to know if she was the artist behind those sketches.
He was sitting on the couch, sketchbook in hand, still debating whether to look through it without Sachiâs permission when Cleo emerged from Mossâs bedroom, clearly having travelled to the ever-present shadows lurking within the cave-like room.
Julianâs head snapped up in alarm. âChrist, Cleo! You scared me half to death!â
She rolled her eyes. âYou already died, cheri.â
âAnd you are far too literal, my dear.â
âWhat is that youâre holding?â She approached the couch, curious eyes fixed on Sachiâs sketchbook.
Julian bit his lip, eyes darting to the side as guilt washed through him. âIt is Sachiâs sketchbook. Iâm unsure whether to look at itâit seems rather an invasion of her privacy.â
Cleo shrugged. âShe already hates you, Julien, what more harm could this do?â
He nodded. âYou have a point.â Although, it seemed Sachi had mellowed somewhat since the previous nightâsomewhere in amongst the ifrit banishing, the Vampire Diaries marathon and the Thai food he had even glimpsed a few smiles sent his way. She had a lovely smile and he was loath to see it wiped from her face because of something heâd done. He tapped his fingers on the sketchbookâs black protective cover, still reluctant.
âWhat is the significance of this anyway? Surely this is not mere curiosity about the girl?â
Julian frowned. âOf course notâI believe there could be something in here to enlighten us further on this whole mess with the lilin.â
âThe lilin?â Her eyes widened in surprise.
Setting the sketchbook aside, Julian ran a hand over his face. âOf courseâIâm so sorry, Cleo, everythingâs happened so quickly, weâve not yet had a chance to fill you in.â
âWhat has happened?â
So he enlightened her on the events of the past few days, from receiving Miraâs email, to his conversation with her in London, to the ifrit attack, to Sachi finally agreeing to stay with them in the apartment. He did not mention Mira by nameânot because Cleo couldnât be trusted, but because Julian did not wish to burden her further with yet another secret.
âSo this informant of yoursâyou believe they are the one responsible for returning Sachi from the dead?â
âI do. And I believe the contents of this sketchbook could confirm it.â
âHow so?â
âThe visions she mentionedâ¦ââJulian shook his head slowlyââit is mere conjecture, but I believe Sachi has them as well. And I think a visual person like Sachi would be far more likely to draw these visions than write them down.â
Cleo looked thoughtful for a moment. âWhat makes you believe Sachi has visions?â
âThe night you accessed her ether she was screaming in her sleepâwe had to restrain her, she was thrashing around so badly.
