Chapter Thirteen

The sound of someone knocking at Surcy’s door filtered out to the balcony. Exhaling slowly, she willed herself to be ready for whatever she might face next, then turned and walked back into her room. “Come in.”

Mark entered, and she swore he looked worse than before. Is he losing weight?

“Did you use it again?” She hadn’t intended it, but the words came out harshly, almost as bad as an accusation.

He winced. “Yes.”

“And you’ve found another Immortal?”

He nodded.

“Maybe... maybe this time just Daniel and Tristan and I should go,” she offered, knowing it would change nothing.

He drew himself up taller. “I’m fine.”

“No, you’re—“

“None of you could find him without me, so this is how it is. There’s no use in discussing it.”

She wanted to argue, but she bit her lip.

“Can you join us at the table?” He held out his hand.

She smiled at the simple gesture and went to him, taking the hand he offered. Instantly, a tingle ran between them, and she moved closer, planting a kiss softly on his lips.

He looked down at her, his blue eyes filled with happiness. “I can’t believe you’re real.”

She touched the stubble on his chin. “Of course I am.”

“It’s just... sometimes when I look at you, all I can think about was the first time we met, how the sun bathed you in light. How we were all worried you’d find out what we were and send us back to the demon-realm.”

Her smile faded. “I wish I remembered.”

“I do too.” His gaze ran over her. “It’s strange to have a whole lifetime of moments with you, and for you to remember none of it. I keep trying to push them away, but they’re still there.”

“I wonder which of us this is stranger for.”

He tilted his head. “It’s painful to remember, but I’d never want to forget.”

She kissed him again, overwhelmed with sadness. “Shall we join the others?”

He nodded and tugged her gently out of the room, his hand still holding hers.

At the table, Daniel and Tristan were eating massive sandwiches, with chips piled high on their plates. When Daniel looked up, his gaze moved to their held hands. He put his sandwich down and stared at his plate.

Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable. She was glad when Mark released her hand and sat down at the table.

“I’ve found another Immortal. And there’s possibly more of them. But there’s a catch.”

“Isn’t there always?” Daniel grumbled.

Mark ignored him. “The next Immortal... I think he may be a dragon.”

“Dragon?” Tristan frowned. “That should be no great problem. Dragons walk among us even now. They are hot-tempered, and conceal their dragon-forms with powerful glamours, but I would think with their egos, they’d be pleased to be named an Immortal.”

Mark shook his head. “There’s something wrong with this dragon. He’s... dangerous.”

Tristan looked unconvinced. “Many believe gargoyles to be strange and dangerous.”

“No,” Mark said. “We need to be prepared for a fight here.”

Tristan shrugged. “I always am.”

They rose from the table and equipped themselves with weapons. As Surcy pulled her daggers from the weapon’s chest, her hand recoiled as she brushed against the gun.
