Most of the students and faculty are crammed into the library, down in the basement floor. Panic fills the air, and Lucian, Bron, and I freeze for a moment when we spot them. I’ve never seen fae like this before, gathered together like a scared pack of animals. The lights overhead flicker, and it’s somehow cold in the basement, even with all the people.

Cheryl, a fae who has a massive thing for Bron, turns in our direction, and her eyes widen. “They’re here!” she says, and her finger points toward us.

The energy in the room changes, and all eyes are focused in our direction. I look at Bron and Lucian and see the same question in their eyes. How do these people feel? What do they expect of us?

“What do we do?” Cheryl asks. “Those...things are outside the door.”

As if her words brought the nightmarish creatures to life, we hear something slamming above us. Everyone jerks a little, and I have a feeling the shadow beasts are ramming against the massive wooden door to the library. It’ll hold, but only for so long.

Another person speaks up, a Fae named Athan. “Is the list of dark fae they sent the complete list of everyone they suspect of being dark fae?”

I already know where he’s going. “No, they could have anyone in this room on that list.”

The fear in the room intensifies, but I don’t care. I’ve seen people at their lowest in my father’s basement. I’ve realized that when people fear for their lives, they’ll do just about anything to survive, including sacrificing others. If these people think they can gather up a dozen students and throw them out the door to stay safe, they will.

“Look,” Lucian says, his calming voice washing over the room. “We have a plan to take them down, but we’ll need your help. Eventually, those doors are going to come down, and we’ll need to fight. All of us. Bron, Lucian, Esmeray, and I know their weaknesses, so we can handle them, but we’ll need you guys to be their focus.”

“So, we’re the distraction?” Athan asks, his expression unreadable.

“You’re essential to this plan working,” Lucian says, emphasizing each word.

“And what about the fae outside?” Cheryl asks.

I frown. “What fae?”

“The fae in the dark robes.” She shivers. “I think they’re the ones commanding the shadow beasts.”

Hell, I have no idea how many fae are involved in the Society of the Ravens, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough. And while the students and teachers fought the shadow beasts, we would need to figure out which fae had the cuff to control them. If we could destroy it, then we’d only need to fight the fae.

And that was a battle we could win.

“And people are hurt,” Cheryl says.

I scan the room more carefully. In the back, a few students are injured and bleeding. Professor Ericson glares at me on the floor. His face is swollen, and blood spills from beneath one eye. Honestly, I’m kind of surprised to see him here.
