Eleven

I wake up refreshed. I remember dreaming about something, a beach I think, but the dream slips away from me before I can linger on it.

I pull open the curtains and smile as the sunshine pours in. I feel the warmth on my skin and stretch out my arms. Sleeping in front of the fire was comforting, and for some reason, I didn’t feel alone. A part of me wonders if Elizabeth was with me but I just couldn’t see her.

I walk up the stairs to my bedroom, open the door, and jump as a figure greets me.

Long red hair, golden eyes, and a smile that could break hearts — Amelia.

“So it’s true. You are alive,” she says and licks her full lips. “I had hoped it wasn’t true.”

“How did you—”

She presses her index finger against my lips and hushes me. “I will be doing the talking.”

I push her hand off me, and she steps back. She starts pacing in a circle. “If I kill you, Emmett will hate me.”

Emmett.

“Is he okay?” I ask desperately.

“Yes,” she says bluntly. “But that is none of your concern.”

I beg to differ. “What do you want?”

“You, gone,” she says with a wave of her hand. “But killing you is out of the question. He will know it was me.” She bites down on her bottom lip. “My spies say the seer, Jane, was very upset with Tom. He still loves you.”

My breath hitches. “That’s none of your business.”

She waves her hand dismissively. “If Jane is an issue, I can get rid of her.” Her eyes widen. “Oh, don’t look at me with those judgy eyes.” She pauses. “Here is my deal. Go with Tom. I will deal with Jane, and in exchange, I will help you find this uncle you have been looking for.”

Dammit. She knows everything. I run my hands down my white nightgown. I do want to find him and stop him, but I can’t go with Tom. I mean, I do care for him, but it’s not the same as how I feel about…

“Wait, let me guess, this is so I never go after Emmett, right? Never see him again?”

She runs one pointed nail over her cheek. “It’s a fair deal. I can tell him you chose Tom, which he will believe, and you can be alive with an eased conscience after killing your uncle.”

“Kill him?”

I hadn’t thought of what I would actually do once I had found him.

She nods. “Mm-hmm. So are we in agreement?”

I raise an eyebrow. “If I say no?”

She places her hands on her bony hips. “Then I have nothing to lose and I kill you and lose Emmett.”

I look at her, tight-lipped. “Well, then I guess I have no choice.”

“Excellent,” she says and flicks back her poker-straight hair. “I will go find Tom and that Jane.”

“Don’t kill her,” I say quickly.

She touches the point of her fang. “I wouldn’t kill a seer. That would be dangerous. I will send her far away instead. I have my own way to get her to leave.
