Not Exactly Nothing

I closed the door behind me and took a deep breath. I threw a wishful glance back toward the door with the crow embedded on its front.

I hadn’t even gotten the chance to really talk to Rend about the crows. How many of them were there? Why had they never come to find me? What did he know about my mother?

If the answers were behind that door, I wanted to go through and face them, no matter how dangerous.

But now was not the time to be going through strange doors. For all I knew, the crow door could lead me straight to hell. Or Kansas. Who knew?

Someday, though, I would go through that door and learn the truth.

I reached for the handle of the door that would lead me back to Venom and without another glance back at Rend’s door, I stepped through to the main part of the club.

I ran straight into Azure.

Literally.

A tray full of glasses flew out of her hand. She cried out as they all went tumbling toward the floor. I jumped back, waiting for glass to shatter and spray across my legs and bare feet, but before the glasses hit the floor, they froze in midair.

I gasped, taking two steps back in surprise. My eyes traveled up to Azure’s face. She stared down at the glasses with great concentration, one palm lifted and curled, as if she held them in her hand. She raised her palm up and all ten glasses followed her movement, rising through the air and back onto her outstretched tray.

“Whoa,” I said. “That was amazing.”

She glared at me, then slowly let her eyes travel down my body. Shit, I was still wearing Rend’s shirt and my hair was probably tousled, like I’d just had a good ride in the sack.

I straightened the shirt and squared my shoulders, daring her to say one damned word to me about it.

She cleared her throat, the muscles around her mouth tightening. “Well, I guess now we know where you disappeared to last night.”

I was all ready to tell her to fuck off, except that there was a twinge of sadness mixed into her hateful tone. Even though she turned away to try to hide it, I saw her eyes fill with shiny tears.

Crap, did she have a thing for Rend? Had he treated her like this, too? Kissing her and leading her to believe there was something between them, only to back off just when things were getting intense? I felt cheap and used, suddenly sure that what I had thought was special between Rend and me was just some kind of game he liked to play.

“Look,” I said, reaching out to put my hand on her arm. “It’s not what you think, trust me.”

She snapped away from my touch, her glare back. And this time it had daggers in it. “I’m sure it’s completely innocent.”

Sarcasm dripped from her tone like acid.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest, feeling slightly naked even though I still had my dance outfit underneath.
