Rook

I woke first, the still of the night giving me no clue to what had broken into my sleep. I was in Ciara’s bed, my legs tangled around hers. Her right arm was draped over Owain’s chest, and her head was snuggled against Alder’s. From where I lay, I could see through the wide window of Ciara’s tower bedroom. The moon was high and bright. Across the roof of the castle, dark shadows played as clouds shifted in the sky.

“What is it?” Ciara spoke sleepily. I hadn’t meant to, but I’d woken her by shifting my position.

“It’s all right,” I whispered, not wanting to alert the others. “Something made me wake up, but I don’t know what. I thought I heard something downstairs.”

I could almost see her teasing grin, even though the room was dim. “Maybe we woke up the rest of the school with our rowdiness earlier.” Her toes traced a line along my leg, moving upwards.

Alder spoke without opening his eyes. “Shall we do it again?” His hand moved along her breasts, toying with her nipples.

But something was different for her now. Instead of covering his lips with hers, as she’d done so wantonly just a few hours ago, Ciara climbed over Alder to leave the bed. As she did, I watched her long legs and the curves of her naked skin. As always, she riveted my attention.

“Wait a second,” grumbled Owain, awake now. “I hope you’re not going any farther than the other bed. We can all move over there.” He lifted himself up onto an elbow.

I was standing now, too, pulling Ciara against me. “Stay. Come on. If we go downstairs in the night, we’ll be looking for trouble. And then we’re sure to find it.” I bent my head to kiss her neck in reassurance. My hands were at her waist, wishing I could keep her here. I knew in my heart that she was too distracted.

“Not trouble. The bracelet. I have to find it,” she choked. “I think I waited too long.”

Alder alone seemed to know what she meant. “You took the bracelet with you to the mortal world, didn’t you? I could sense it in your pocket when we were in Breze’s office.”

“Well if you could, then Breze could too. When he sent me back here, he spun it out of my control somehow. Without it, I’m defenseless.”

Well all exchanged glances, nobody wanting to take on her comment. Finally, I did. “Ciara, you’re the last person in the world anybody would say had no defenses. Your powers are stronger now than those of a hundred fae.”

“But I am not truly strong against the fae,” she said shakily. “I have all this power, yes, but I am mortal. You can’t imagine what it’s like. I am vulnerable in a way you can’t understand. The bracelet is my only tool that can kill an eternal being.” She had leaned away from me to snag her clothes from the top of her tall dresser. She dressed in a hurry, pulling her unruly pink hair into a ponytail.
