Chapter 11

“That’s all he said?” Lazlo asked as he and Elder Almeric scowled at me like I was the top suspect in a heinous crime.

After I’d woken from my vision of Max, we’d all rushed over to the cottage Lazlo and Almeric were sharing. Apparently, Rufus had felt more comfortable bunking with the other enforcers, but he’d come running when Kellum had put out the call for an emergency meeting.

The nine of us found what perches we could in the tight space. As something of a guest of honor, I sat at the head of the table with Lazlo, Almeric and Kellum taking the remaining chairs.

“That’s it, word for word.” I gave them a helpless half-smile. “Trust me, I had a lot more I wanted to talk to him about, but it seems that he only had one thing on his mind. Protect the Heart at all costs.”

“But why?” Lazlo asked, turning to Almeric for his wisdom.

The oldest of the weir’s elders shook his head, looking as confused as the rest of us felt. “Hmm, almost immediately after you all made the decision to cede to the kidnapper’s demands, Max appears in a vision telling you not to. Are you certain it wasn’t a dream, Ms. Fiske? It’s sometimes hard for humans to know the diff—”

“I know the difference,” I said, leveling a pointed look at him. “It was a vision, just like all the others Max was in.”

Kellum leaned forward, drawing Almeric’s attention. “Favor’s an old pro at having visions by now, sir.”

Almeric raised questioning — and very hairy — eyebrows. “It’s my understanding she hasn’t been able to have a single one since arriving.”

When Danic and Ryen took a couple of defensive steps toward the table, Almeric held up a bony, shaking hand to stop them. “I know, I know. Actually, I do believe she has abilities not typically seen in keepers, so why not visions? I had to ask. I had to be sure. And now that I am, we must discuss our next steps.”

“Clearly, it’s to ensure the jadokari never get their hands on what they call the guli,” Lazlo said with a heavy sigh.

Almeric’s white head bobbed in agreement. “Yes, Maximus must be working behind the scenes and thought going dark was the wisest path of action.”

“Going dark?” I asked.

“Cutting off all communications,” explained Danic.

“Maybe he’s being followed,” Ash offered from his spot leaning against the windowsill.

“Or he’s the one doing the following,” Hale added.

“Whatever his plan, he’s deep in the matter at hand and we must follow the casique’s orders,” said Almeric.

“Yeah, Max always knows best,” Rufus said, nodding emphatically.

“I’m just relieved to hear he’s alive and well,” Lazlo said. “Now, on to the next order of business.”

“Which is…?” Ryen asked from his seat on one of the narrow beds.

“As you all know, Almeric and I have been meeting with the elders of the Transylvania weir.”

Ryen leaned forward, his eyes bright. “Cool.”

Lazlo looked all too familiar with what Ryen thought was cool. “I hate to break the news to you, Ryen, but vampires don’t exist.
