Chapter Fifteen

Armed guards escorted Vaughn and me back to the dome’s warehouse area. I marched next to him, feeling that my hope had been somewhat restored. Maybe it was stupid, but the fact that I didn’t feel alone anymore had made all the difference. Vaughn was with me, truly with me. And Arryn was all right.

Vaughn’s determination to get us out of here matched mine. We would figure out a way to escape.

When we got to the corner of the warehouse where we could teleport back to the other campers, I was surprised to find Adaline waiting there with Crescent and Dr. Watts. Adaline was smiling, her attention fully devoted to me. It made me feel self-conscious. I shifted from foot to foot. Vaughn noticed, too. A muscle jumped in his jaw as he regarded the woman with unabashed hatred.

“Ready to go back?” Dr. Watts asked, his hands clasped together in front of him as if he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Vaughn grunted in answer.

Crescent and Dr. Watts stepped into the corner that was a blind spot to the spell that prevented teleportation in and out of the dome. It seemed they were both coming with us. I started to join them, but Adaline stepped in front of me. She was regarding my wings with curiosity as if she had never seen them before.

“Your aunt tells me you can cast a glamour to hide your wings. Is that true?”

I frowned at the odd comment and exchanged a glance with Vaughn.

“It is,” I said, itching to cast it now so she would stop staring at my wings as if I were a carnival freak.

“Why don’t you? Hide your wings anymore, I mean.”

When I was little, a cruel, wingless fae boy had picked a fight with me, threatening to rip the wings off my back. We had both been very young when it happened, no more than seven years old. I understood much later that he’d only been trying to scare me. I had beaten him in a chasing game thanks to my wings, and he’d been mad.

At the time, however, the threat had gotten to me, and instinctively, I gained the ability to make my wings appear invisible to others. Hiding them became something I did whenever strangers were about. It was a protective instinct that seemed to work on its own most of the time. Eventually, I learned to control it, and by the time Faerie was destroyed, I could do it at will. Then, at the Supernatural Academy—among all the discrimination against Lessers—I had learned to be proud of who I was, and never to hide my best feature.

I pondered Adaline’s question, considering her sudden curiosity. I didn’t like it at all, so I decided to shrug in answer.

She made a sound in the back of her throat and twisted her mouth to one side, displeased with my non-answer. Her cold eyes slid to Vaughn who was watching her closely as if he could read her thoughts if he stared hard enough.
