CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

VIV TORE THROUGH THE WOODS like there were beasts at her heels. She was less familiar with this stretch of forest, but she knew that if she kept running she’d reach a pond with a picnic area. Families used it during the day, teenagers hung out there at night. She didn’t know who might be there this early, but she hoped there would be someone who could help.

When she stumbled into the clearing, the last of the morning mist was rising off the pond. Blood plastered her torn dress to her skin, and she clutched the dagger in a death grip. Her feet hurt like someone had burned them. Her chest was heaving, and she knew she looked like she’d committed a murder. Or escaped one.

She saw Beth Teal sitting on a picnic table on the far side of the pond, her head bent over the nettle jacket she was knitting. Viv gathered her breath to yell—and Beth’s swan brothers swam toward her, honking aggressively. Beth glanced up at the commotion.

“I need your phone!” Viv shouted. “Henley’s in trouble!”

They met halfway around the pond, Beth pushing her phone into Viv’s hand before Viv had a chance to ask again. It was already calling Jack Tran’s number.

Jack sounded worried when he answered—“Beth?”—and Viv realized it was because Beth never called people; her brothers would die if she spoke.

“It’s not Beth, it’s Viv. Henley got into a fight with the other Huntsman. The Huntsman has a knife and—”

“Where?”

She did her best to explain, but it was hard to describe their exact location. “I can take you there.”

“No, you stay with Beth. I’ll find them.”
