Kyra looked to Marcus, then casually let her gaze wander to Sebastian. The men wrestled with the twisted remains of a trailer in an attempt to free a fellow carnie. Cries of the girl trapped within the rubble were audible all the way to where Kyra stood. The little vortex beast, so inexperienced. She probably accidentally sucked all the destruction in upon herself.

Kyra and Marcus thought they had gotten away. They had actually walked away, but Higgins had called them back to help. Now Kyra stood to the side, watching Sebastian again. Watching both Sebastian and Marcus, a painful pang attacking her heart like a sour case of indigestion. Throwing a flash-fire on her open sore, Chelsea stood beside her, a constant reminder Kyra had thought it a good idea to play Cupid. She tried not to think about Chelsea. Kyra had been dumb enough to push Sebastian toward Chelsea in the first place. Instead, Kyra busied her mind with other things.

The conversation with Marcus about dragons played in her mind. Clutching the tooth Marcus had trusted her with in her hand, she squeezed it before shoving it deep into her front jeans pocket. It said a lot he trusted her with his ancestor’s canine.

“I need something from you,” Kyra said to Chelsea, then turned to look at her.

Chelsea met Kyra’s gaze. “Anything. Just name it.”

Kyra had expected this response, suspected Chelsea would be eager to please Sebastian by helping his best friend. That’s why Kyra had chosen her. To keep it quiet, for Sebastian’s sake.

“Can you come with Marcus and me? I need someone trustworthy. Someone needs to keep an eye on Marcus and tend to his wounds while I take care of something.” Kyra returned to watching her men. “I shouldn’t be long, and you’ll be at Marcus’s place, so there shouldn’t be any danger. Do you think you could do that?”

An awkward silence fell between them. Kyra sensed something wasn’t right, causing an unpleasant sensation to stir in her gut. And though Chelsea spoke not a word, her face soured. She pressed in on her abdomen, and Kyra got the nagging suspicion Chelsea shared in the queasy stomach syndrome.

“Okay.” Chelsea’s voice was low and lacked her usual conviction.

Kyra knew she should question the matter, but she didn’t. The fear it would throw her into relationship territory was too great. The last thing she wanted was to stand there with Chelsea discussing feelings regarding Sebastian, because honestly, she didn’t know where hers lay anymore. Instead, she snatched Marcus away from Sebastian and vortex girl, and made a beeline for the portal at the carnival’s front entrance, Chelsea at their tail.

“Hey! Where ya going?” Sebastian’s voice called from behind.

“Quick errand. Nothing more. I’ll be back before you miss me.” Kyra’s words were sharp, had bite. She glanced over her shoulder to glimpse his face. Dark, glistening pools of onyx stared back at her. She snapped her head forward. Didn’t want to see anymore. Didn’t want to hurt him. His emotions were not her responsibility, she reasoned.
