CHAPTER NINE

“Regina,” a female called out to her. “Wake up.”

She opened her eyes and met Eve’s eerie gaze. Great, just what she needed. Why wouldn’t she leave her alone? “What do you want?” She hadn’t been helpful thus far, and Regina didn’t see this visit being any different. “I’m too tired to deal with you.”

“He has the book.”

Like she cared? She’d rather keep her eyes closed and enjoy the comfort of her bed. Sleep was so wonderful. Regina waved her hand. “Go away. I don’t care about any damn book.”

“Are you always this difficult?” Eve sighed. “I’m trying to help you.”

Please, as if...Eve wasn’t doing anything for Regina. This was all about what the damned woman needed not what Regina did. She was done running around looking like an idiot. Nothing Eve told her had given her any solid answers thus far. Whatever news she had to depart, it could be dealt with later.

“No, you’re not.” Regina mumbled. “Your motives have everything to do with what you need, and nothing to do with me. I’m not inclined to roll out of bed and jump to do your bidding.”

“You’re right,” she agreed. “I need you, but you should know that this also has to do with your sister.”

“What?” Regina sat up abruptly. The room started to spin. She leaned down and put her head between her knees and took a deep breath. “Explain yourself,” Regina demanded.

What did Eve know about Alys? She kept alluding to her, but had yet to give her any real information. She was sick and tired of the cat and mouse game. Why couldn’t she come out and tell her what she knew. She wanted to know where her sister was. If Alys needed her she wanted to do everything in her power to assist her.

“The answers are in the book. Go find it and you will know everything—or most of it any way.”

Regina glanced up at Eve and rolled her eyes. “Are you serious? What’s with all the cryptic bullshit? Why don’t you tell me what you know and put us both out of our misery?”

Eve stared at Regina and remained silent. Her eyes held a tinge of sadness. Regina almost felt sorry for the other woman, but squashed it as fast as it entered her mind. She didn’t owe Eve anything. All the woman had done was freak her out several times. She was over it already. She wanted a clue as to what happened to Alys. Eve wasn’t helping, and Regina was tired of it.

“I can’t tell you.”

Of course she couldn’t. Probably because she was a figment of her imagination—answers didn’t jump out just because you wanted them bad enough. They had to be researched and discovered through normal means. Yet she couldn’t help carrying on a conversation with Eve as if she’d suddenly disclose all.

“Why the hell not?” Regina crawled off the bed and stalked toward Eve. “This is the last time you come to me with this crap. I don’t have time to deal with you and your secrets.
