Chapter Fourteen

Everyone knew that saying: speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear. Well, in this case, we’d spoken of the demon, and the freaking demon ex had appeared. Just my luck.

Loire and I were heading back to my room, and I’d just finished sending Misha and Anna text messages asking them to meet us there, when Talon and Cedee came around the corner.

I was seriously considering turning around and hiding, but Loire placed his hand on my shoulder as though he’d sensed my thoughts. That familiar gesture was enough to keep me on our current path—and also send tingles running down my back from his touch.

I was ready to face that Cedee bitch. Bring it on.

Cedee had gone overboard with the fake tan—probably in preparation for prom—and was wearing a ridiculous looking fur coat that had splashes of red on it. As they stopped in front of us, her eyes shot to Loire, and she gave him a sickly sweet smile that made me want to throw up.

“Kat, you look so good today,” she said, in a voice as sweet as honey as she glanced at me.

Obviously, I looked like shit. There were bruises on my face, I was all gross and sweaty from training, and wearing this God-awful brown shirt. This wasn’t exactly me in top form.

“So do you,” I said silkily. “I really like what you’ve done with that dead squirrel. It brings out your cheekbones.” Her coat really did look like road kill.

Talon bit his lip as he fought the smile that was threatening to break out on his face. At least he still had a sense of humor.

“Don’t ever act like you’re better than me.” Cedee’s fake smile was replaced with a scowl. She really sucked at playing nice; it had lasted a grand total of five seconds. “The only reason they let you back in here is probably because your best friend’s uncle pushed for it. You’re nothing special, honey.”

“Well,” I said, keeping my tone light, “apparently I’m special enough to be accused of killing a powerful angel. Maybe you should watch out. You might be next.”

Cedee’s pale, green eyes went round, and she seemed flustered as she spoke. “You don’t scare me. You should worry more about yourself.” It was hard to feel threatened by her when she was such a ridiculous shade of orange.

“Okay, Oompa Loompa, whatever you say.” I studied her 5’1” frame in disdain and raised an eyebrow. “All you need is a green hairpiece and a pair of overalls and you’re like a Halloween costume gone wrong.”

Clearly, that struck a nerve with her, and she lunged forward like she was about to bitch slap me. But I knew it was coming. I knew what I was getting into when I’d provoked her. I was ready for a fight.

But the assault never came.

Surprised, I looked past Cedee and saw that Talon had grabbed her arms from behind and was restraining her.

“Let go of me, Talon!” she cried, struggling to remove herself from his grasp.
