CHAPTER 14

ADIANNA TOOK SARAH to Caryn Smoke’s house, to be patched up for the second time in less than a month. Sarah had managed to fend off her sister’s questions only with stoic silence so far.

“We’re going to have to wash the blood off before I can see the cuts,” Caryn explained as she unwrapped the crude bandages Sarah had made with the rough first-aid supplies she kept in her car.

She had cleaned most of the blood from the ivy before she could see enough to tell what the full design was.

“Oh, Goddess . . .” The healer looked up, her pale blue eyes wide with shock and full of question.

“What?” Adianna stepped forward to see what the healer had seen.

“Give me some room,” Caryn ordered, her voice steady.

Adianna nodded, and leaned back against the opposite wall.

Caryn turned to the rose. When she got to the other shoulder she cleaned around the wound, revealing more of the damage.

Nikolas. Caryn whispered the name, and Sarah saw Adianna’s gaze whip toward them as she heard it.

The hunter was on her feet instantly. “That’s who you were after today?” Sarah nodded once, and saw Adianna’s eyes racing over the careful designs. Finally she asked Caryn the question Sarah had been avoiding. “Will those scar?”

Caryn’s face was grim as she said, “I’m afraid so. I can heal the deeper damage so there won’t be any permanent injury to the muscles, but the wounds are bad enough that I can’t do much more.”

“My little sister went after Nikolas,” Adianna stated with some surprise in her voice. “He got away, didn’t he?” Again Sarah had to nod.

“He’s had hunters on his tail for more than a hundred years, Adia—he’s clever, and he could feel when I tried to build power to fight him. I didn’t have a chance.”

Yes, you did, another part of her mind argued as she remembered her moment of hesitation when she had first seen him. But he looked like Christopher, so you didn’t take it.

Adianna just shook her head, making her feelings clear: If Sarah had not had a chance to fight, it meant she had screwed up somewhere. Again.
