CHAPTER SIX

Delsin slid into the next memory much more smoothly, giving him a sense that this one wasn’t going to be anything like the previous ones.

A familiar voice caught his attention. “Mom, I’m going out.” His eyes moved over the figure in front of him. Years had passed since the last memory, and it was clear that Lilith was a teenager. At an estimate, he thought perhaps a decade or so had lapsed. During the gap between memories, it appeared that they had established a safe place where they could get comfortable. He also got a feeling that he knew what this memory would show him. A quick look at her body showed that she was almost identical to how Delsin remembered her looking from his own past. A sneaking suspicion went up his spine, and for a moment he dreaded finding out where this memory was going.

And here I was so eager to see this when I was first pulled into the web. The thought nearly made him laugh, but Delsin held his breath. There was something bothering him, but he wasn’t about to let the thought move forward into his consciousness. With the freshness of the last memory still at the forefront of his mind, Delsin was concerned that his presence in the memory wasn’t quite what he had expected. He was nearly certain that it had been his magic that had saved Lilith and Bernice in the last memory – it was hard to argue that it hadn’t been. Exactly what that meant about his presence in the memory was unclear; based on everything he knew, the time web should have made him a voyeur, not a player in the events. Until he better understood what was happening, he needed to remain inactive and silent.

Moving away from Lilith, he was startled as Bernice stepped through him from the hallway behind him. A severe frown graced her older-looking face. “Lilith, you know that is not a good idea.” He looked at her and could tell that the years had not been kind to her. She looked a lot older than she should, which meant that Bernice was still refusing to use her daughter. This was both good and bad – good because she clearly loved Lilith, yet the best intentions don’t mean much if they end up backfiring. By not teaching her daughter anything about her powers, Bernice was endangering the young woman.

Delsin’s mind continued to analyze the situation. For a moment, he was lost as that familiar smile appeared on Lilith’s stunning face, not quite reaching those exotic eyes. “Mom, we’ve lived here for nearly two years. It’s time to realize that we are safe.”

Bernice folded her arms over her chest. “We may be within the protective aura of the Chamberlins, but that doesn’t mean we are safe. Unless you really want to have to flee again in the dead of night, I suggest you take this more seriously. After how long we spent running, I for one am not interested in having to hide for a few months before trying to find another home.
