Chapter 11

“You found who?” Brigid straddled the chair in the diner, her black, leather-clad leg bouncing with the tapping of her booted foot.

“Kyle Scruggs,” Deme repeated. “The maintenance man who’d gone missing three weeks ago.”

“Well before Aurai disappeared.” Selene shook her head. “What’s happening now didn’t start with our dear sister’s disappearance.”

“It started with the beginning of the semester when Aurai arrived on campus.” Deme stood and paced next to the table. “From the looks of it, the girls of the Gamma Omega sorority are playing with fire.”

“Do you think they’ve really conjured some kind of evil?”

Deme tipped her head toward Gina, whose hair was almost dry from her battle for life in the basement of the library. “Before the basement flooded, we found a book on monsters.”

“Monsters?” Brigid’s brows twisted. “Seriously?”

Deme nodded, her gaze steady on Brigid. “Seriously.”

“The book actually found us,” Gina added.

“How so?” Selene asked, her face open, curious.

“It fell out of a shelf on an aisle neither of us were anywhere near.”

Brigid stood. “Could the Scruggs guy have pushed it out?”

“I don’t think so.” Deme paced again, coming to a stop in front of the table. “I think the sisters who died when Lion Hall burned down died fighting whatever it is we’re up against now. And I think they were trying to tell us just what it is by showing us the book.”

“And what is it?” Brigid asked.

Deme’s gaze caught and held Gina’s. “A Chimera.”

Selene stared straight ahead, her eyes bright, far away. “Body of a lion, tail of a serpent and two heads, one of the lion and the other of a goat.” She closed her eyes. “It has great power. It was what pulled at me back in Deme’s dorm room.”

“Are you sure?” Deme asked.

She nodded. “Yes. The voices…my dreams…were the sisters warning us away.”

Cal, who up to this point had sat in a chair and held his silence, suddenly sat up straight and reached inside his coverall. “I forgot all about this.” He pulled out two folders and handed them to Deme. “I think I can help you with names of at least two of the sisters who died in the fire. Seems there have been Chattox sisters on this campus in the past.”

“Chattoxes?” Deme accepted the files and laid them out on the table. “Where did you get these?”

“In the student records room.”

She ran her hand over the files, a strong current flowing through her fingertips. “Feel this.” She guided Selene’s hand to the folders.

Her other sisters reached out and the package glowed, levitating off the tabletop.

Deme slapped it down, glancing around nervously. “That wasn’t supposed to happen.”

“But it did.” Selene looked up at Deme. “Which proves it’s them.”

“What are the chances of running into a group of sisters with the last name Chattox?” Deme demanded.

“One in a bizzilion.” Gina’s voice was unsteady, her hand shaking as she pulled it away from the files.

Deme sat down hard. “I’m not liking this at all. It’s way out of our league.”

“Speak for yourself.” Brigid crossed her arms over her chest.
