CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Aidan had been watching the sky for the last two hours. The plasma trains screeched above him as they skimmed into their stations. He had one hand in the pocket of his jacket, keeping hold of the homing device while he gazed upward through the lines of plasma trains that zigzagged overhead.

He understood this was a useless exercise. The bird would find the transmitter, even if he was inside the cottage, but he didn’t want to raise suspicion with another broken windowpane. And besides, his stepfather and Drake were still in a boisterous mood, making the small cottage unbearably loud and suffocating. Even Morgan had escaped to his basement workshop.

Plus, there was the fact that just because Delia gave him the transmitter didn’t mean she was sending him a message right away … or ever for that matter.

Still, he rationalized, the walk would clear his mind. A headache was slowly growing, but he found being outside was a helpful distraction.

He began to play with the idea of selling the Queen’s Guard glider to Griffin in order to buy a new outfit for the ball. Just once, he thought, it would be nice to see her in a social setting and not while acting as a rogue. The hope was there, deeply buried.

Aidan shook his head. He was losing all logic and reason. Why should he care about how she saw him? She had a palace full of princes to choose from, and soon she’d have a husband.

He kicked a rock across the street. Then his pocket vibrated.

With his heart hammering inside his chest, Aidan saw the silhouette of the bird high above. He took out the transmitter and gently placed it by his feet. The bird landed, zeroing in perfectly on the transmitter. He allowed himself a rare laugh, remembering how the bird had chased Delia in the maze.

Picking up the mechanism, he stroked the beak and retrieved a piece of paper. Her handwriting was lovely and it took him a few moments to decipher the loops and swirls of her letters. He was used to reading typed words on the infoscreen.

Meet me where the glider is hidden. I need to speak with you. Not safe to be inside palace walls.
