We were the prisoners of Vander Voldini and my mind raced with the thought of what he would do to us once we came back. Rynna had escaped with the mechanical Alexei, leaving us to brood silently. Braeden started pacing the area and I strained my eyes in hopes of seeing Dimples past. Surely she wouldn’t be so settled with the circus to see her close friends held against their own will. She would likely use her magic and I could then do the unbinding charm that would free her. Our capture could actually be a good thing if it shook her from her current morose view of the world. I should have hunted down the author to Meredith Marble and dragged her to the circus. If emotional appeal didn’t work, then a celebrity encounter could. It helped to look at this with humor.

In my mind, I thought of how angry Elizar would be and felt guilty that I hid my initial plans from him. By the time he spoke to Ethan and Frankie, he would learn about Stubin Station and be on his way to save us. Voldini would likely move the circus again before he could get there. For all we knew, it could have already moved. Magic worked in many unseen ways and I always had something to learn. Unfortunately for Voldini, I had a few things to teach him myself. Braeden wasn’t the only one holding in visible anger. I wanted to get my hands around Rynna’s neck and make her beg for our forgiveness.

There it was again. To my surprise, that dark wave of energy flashed through my body and made itself known. Instead of a chill to somber me, it was a heat to amp me up. It felt good to give in to the raw power just a little. I couldn’t become my father if I used it in moderation. I wouldn’t go down his path and turn my family against me. I would just use it now to stop Voldini and save Dimples, maybe punish Rynna and the rest for conspiring, and then go back to being the reasonable Abbie. The darkness inside liked that idea and warmed to my cheeks at the prospect. Release, it whispered to me, and let them see what a show you can put on. I wanted to give in so badly.

“Miss Everlaine and her mender companion have come back to my humble circus to partake in the festivities”, said a cold voice with a slimy tinge.

I strained my eyes in the darkness, “Come closer so we can speak more intimately.”

“And let you kill me? Not likely. I know what an Everlaine can do by reputation and the apple never falls far from the tree”, he replied.

Braeden shifted next to me, the dark wolf ready for a good fight. He would likely shove me out of the way to get to Voldini himself. That had to be his voice. Staying invisible in the shadows, watching us with his own sick amusement, making plans to profit off of our situation.
