The door closed to the elevator and my heart dropped out of my chest. I wanted to run to her, to pry those doors open and get her to tell me what she was talking about. How had she gotten an offer from Emerick?

Panic set in. I very well could have pushed her into choosing him instead of me. I searched for the nearest stairwell, remembering there was no other access to her floor. So, I waited for the ding of the elevator above and pushed the button to return it to me. I got on and pushed my thumb over the green scanner. When the doors closed, I cursed the damn thing to move faster.

Without so much as a knock, I pushed through her door to find Delia picking up books, and what looked like tears staining her face. My temper rose as I gave her a questioning glare. She only looked up toward the infusion room in response. By the time I’d stepped through the door, Ravana was already hooked up to the I.V. drip, her eyes closed as she lay on the conforming chair to receive her intake of blood.

“What gives you the right to demand anything of anyone?”

She almost fell out of the chair as she looked up at me.

I didn’t cross the room to her but stood in the open doorway. “Why do we all have to answer to you, huh? We all work for the same people. We all volunteered for this position, yet you seem to think you can bully people into submission.”

“How does that have anything to do with our conversation?”

“The fact that my Keeper is so shaken I doubt she’ll emerge from her room for days, and poor Delia in there looks like you chewed her out as you flew through on your high and mighty horse.”

“First off, I don’t have a horse, my steed is a broom. Second, I don’t think I’m above anyone. If it seems that way, it’s because I’ve been doing it longer than anyone in this building. I don’t do the things I do to hurt anyone’s feelings. They are human, and as such they are breakable. We aren’t. So, when I tell a Keeper she can’t go out with us at night, it’s not because I don’t want to work with them, it’s because I don’t want to see them end up in pieces…that’s how I got here.”

“What do mean? That’s how you got here?”

“I was stupid, weak, and human. I shouldn’t be alive, but a hundred years later here I am. I can’t risk anyone under my roof, my protection…ending up like me. Shattered. I’m nothing. A nobody in an ocean of somebodies. All because I was breakable, and not strong enough to stop it.”

“You didn’t die because you were breakable.” My temper soothed at her words, and I tried to choose my next ones carefully. “You were chosen. Studied because you were strong and so full of life. You were exceptional. That’s why you’re here.
