Chapter Twenty

July 19th, Night

Liam sends me to my room after he promises certain death. I am not sure if I even feel joy anymore. I know I must, but every single second I spend in this false world wears on me. Even my furniture gleams differently. I stare out my window, heart pounding, with hopes of a glimpse of Finn. He is not there. I want to see him because of what I am preparing for—my first night with Liam. If I can commit Finn’s features to memory, I can pretend it is him. The pit in my stomach does not leave.

I strip off the elaborate pink gown and sit on the floor next to my bed. I pull out my backpack, deciding to see what is in it. I see extra clothing changes, ones I never had before. I pull out a pair of pants and my hand touches something familiar. The leather bound book from my house. My book. My heart wells with joy.

Finn has given me my story back. I hug it tightly to my chest knowing these words that were once so empty, will be the words that get me through this night. I crack open the book and run my fingers across the faded pages. Sentiments crash over me in waves.

Lily does not knock before she enters my room. Magic wisps into my room as she closes the door behind her. She wills her eyes brown.

“Miss, are you ready for tonight?” she asks.

I sit in my white camisole and underwear clutching a book from the old world. I look as far from ready as possible. I know this. I wish Lana would come. She would know how to handle Liam. She would have tricks and acting tips. All the sub-emotions that branch from fear thrum though me—they overpower me. I am crippled.

“I do not know if I can do this,” I say, my voice cracking. Lily looks around my room, and then sits on the bed next to me.

“This reminds me of my room in my circle. I recognize fear in you. Let the prince take it away,” Lily responds quietly. Though her words hold no emotion I think they are wise words. I nod my head in thoughtful agreement. This is my fate. If I am to endure the correction, the absence of fear will make it more bearable. Another set of glowing eyes enters my room. Hers do not flicker and the trail of magic in her wake signal she is a witch. I stand and face her.

“Hello, miss. I am here to test you,” she says mechanically. Lily takes my hand and ushers me toward her. My whole body shakes.

“Test me for what?” I ask. Without a word the witch kneels in front of me and places her hands on my lower stomach. Lily just nods when she sees my eyes widen in shock. The witch closes her eyes and my body begins vibrating at my core. When she pulls her hands away my limbs feel numb.
