âTerra. Wake up.â
I wake from a dreamless sleep and meet Raineâs soft blue eyes.
âRaine? What are you doing?â I sit up and rub my eyes, groggy. Itâs still dark out and feels much too early for class. Four weeks at Alkrose is enough to get a schedule computed into your system.
He tosses my white cloak at me and I barely catch it before he mutters, âArthurâs study is next. Do you have the note?â
I yawn and try to shake the tendrils of drowsiness that tug at my mind. âYeah, give me a second.â Arthur would likely have told me if he was the one who wrote the note, and I doubt itâs him since heâs the one who sent me looking in the library. Unless this is all some game to him and heâs a sadistic bastard, but I really doubt thatâs the case.
I clasp my moon brooch to secure the cloak around my shoulders and turn on my desk lamp as I rummage through the top drawer. The note is tucked between my anatomy and Shadow riding books.
Raine smiles when I hand it to him and we sneak out into the hallway as quietly as we can. The entire tower is silent. The crackling, flickering light of the eternal blue fireplace gives us barely enough luminance to see.
Iâm pretty sure Arthurâs study is the first door I passed when Elias took me to his room. We silently make quick work of the staircase, stopping at the first door we reach. Raine presses his head to the wood and listens for a few agonizing minutes.
Iâm so tiredâbetween private tutoring with Arthur, classes, finally breaking into the Ekko House and crossing Nekane off the list, and practicing after dinner each night with the boys, I could sleep for an entire year. Not to mention rebuilding my relationship with Finn, avoiding Edgar, and messing around with Elias and, apparently, Arthur. But above all is the stress and lingering dread that each passing day brings us as we inch closer to the second-semester exam.
Ugh.
âThereâs no one in there,â Raine whispers and tries the doorknob. To our surprise, the door opens. He glances at me and I nod. Weâre already committed to doing this, so weâd better do it quickly.
We slip inside and quietly shut the door behind us. Itâs pitch black and I feel around the room until I stub my foot on something and muffle the ow that instinctively comes out of my mouth. My hands fumble upon a lamp a moment later and a dim light illuminates the room.
âWell, this isnât what I expected,â Raine says a little louder than a whisper.
The room is completely empty, with the exception of the oak desk and a meager lamp in the corner. The room is devoid of dust but thereâs nothing in here that would lead me to believe itâs Arthurâs study or that he even uses it.
âI guess he has another office where he keeps his things,â I mumble as I check the two drawers on the desk, both empty.
