Chapter 19

Darkness engulfed me as my body floated off the ground. I opened my eyes to see Eli’s face next to mine, staring intently.

“Hi,” he said tenderly, surprising me. He’d never used that tone with me before. “Are you okay?”

“I...are we back?” I glanced around to see we were in the middle of a cloud and at a standstill. My hands were around his neck and his hands were around my waist as if we were dancing. In a way we were, gliding across the mist of the clouds without the music. It would have been romantic if we were lovers, but we were far from that. In fact, I had no idea if I could trust him after he’d made me fall like that.

“Yes,” he answered, looking relieved.

“Why did you let me fall?” I seethed. “Why didn’t you warn me before you astral traveled?”

“Then you wouldn’t have let me.”

“How do you know?”

He shrugged. “I guess I will never know. It’s been done.”

“You think?” I sighed. When I opened my wings, it forced him to move away from me. “I can find my way back home from here. Who is Ikelia, by the way? You got pretty intense when she showed up.”

“No, I didn’t. It’s none of your concern.” He looked away.

I raised a brow. “Yes, you did.”

“I don’t remember. Maybe I was worried for her. I didn’t want Vince to kill her.” He paused and then changed the subject, “Did you enjoy your little adventure? Did you like probing into people’s pasts?”

My muscles tensed. “If you’re asking me if I liked watching people get hurt or killed, the answer is no. You know very well the reason why we have to astral travel. Don’t make this into something else. You’re hiding something from us because you’re afraid we’ll judge you, aren’t you?”

“You’re full of questions. And I’m past worrying about what people think of me. Why don’t you just fly away?” He motioned his hand the way my wings flapped.

I frowned and kept my irritation at bay. “We need you. Will you be there at the meeting? Will you join us on this crusade?”

He arched his eyebrows as if I’d asked a stupid question. “Don’t count on it.”

As the wind shifted, he became translucent before my eyes and then turned into a black mist. And with a blink of an eye, he was gone.
