13. MEDIUM RUNES

Echo was gone the next morning when I woke up.

“Thanks for letting me sleep,” his text read. “See why I adore you?”

If only he knew everything. I texted him and got ready for school.

“Are you sure you should go to school today?” Mom asked while I ate breakfast like a starved convict.

I nodded. “After school, I’m going to Angie’s to pick up my prom dresses.” She and Dad exchanged a glance. “I’m fine. Really. If they serve mystery meat again—”

“I’ll file a complaint against the school,” Mom snapped in her scary mother bear voice that said she wasn’t kidding.

Yikes. “Complaints only work if more than one student is affected, Mom. I won’t eat it.”

“You got that right,” she said. “I’m making you lunch.”

I couldn’t complain, just sat there while she packed slices of rump roast and baked baby potatoes from last night. I gave her a kiss and hug, and an exuberant thank you before leaving the house.

There were new runes on my car. He must have added them before leaving. I threw my backpack in the back and slipped behind the wheel.

Mom came out of the house and waved. What now? I lowered my window, hoping this wasn’t about school lunches or Echo.

“Are you going to the nursing home today?” she asked.

“Tomorrow. Why?”

“I have extra pies if you want to take one to your charges at the nursing home and one more for Raine’s family.”

“I’ll drop them off tomorrow. I gotta go, Mom.”

“Love you,” she said and disappeared back inside the house.

“Love you, too,” I said and backed out. Just before I could shift gears, a gray mass appeared at the corner of my eye and I froze, yesterday’s incident flooding my psyche. It moved to the front of my car and sanity returned. It was Dev.

I really needed to get my act together. I shouldn’t fear souls, normal or dark. I blew out air, tried to calm my racing heart, and waved him inside. He shook his head.

I had no time for this crap. “You have some explaining to do, so get in before you really, really piss me off.”

He imitated death by decapitation.

“You’re already dead, Dev,” I reminded him.

He pointed at the runes. They were glowing. Weird.

I frowned. “What about the runes?”

He pointed at his chest and imitated an explosion. Oh, that was what they were for? To protect me against dark souls? I grabbed my phone and stuck it out the window.

“Get in.”

He slithered inside my phone. I threw it on the tray between the front two seats and stepped on the gas. “Start talking.”

“What do you want to know?” he asked.

“Who attacked me? And don’t say you don’t know because I know you do.”

“You did it,” he said and laughed. “You convinced him. I should have thanked you last night, but I had to get rid of another dark soul.”

“Another one? Are you sure? It felt the same as the other one.”

“All souls feel the same,” he said. “I remember that from my years as an Immortal.
