CHAPTER 15

CASSANDRA

Donatello drives, the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up to his elbows. Society has a crazy obsession with six-packs, and I’ll agree they’re very nice to look at, but I don’t get why people don’t admire arms more often. Donatello’s forearms are sexy as shit. I sit on his passenger seat and drool all the way to the mage’s place.

“Here we are,” he says, parking like a pro. I bet he’s been driving ever since cars were invented. Our eyes connect, and the corner of his lips tug into a smile. “Anxious?”

“So much,” I reply, releasing a sigh and half-turning to face him. “I’m wondering if she could find my mother.”

Donatello nods. “She definitely can.” And he reaches out and takes my hand in his. His fingertips are cold against my skin, and they cause a shiver to race up my arms. With a look over my shoulder at Apollo, I exit the car.

This building is not what I expected. When Donatello said this mage could see the future, I thought of some battered down neighborhood, an old woman in a dark purple tent and a crystal ball. Silly, of course. I don’t think there are battered corners in Hiram.

I have to crane my neck to stare at the top of the building, and it’s not even one of the big ones. This one is a commercial building, with a high ceiling on the first floor, fancy columns, and a silver board pinned to the marble wall pointing out who occupies each office. The names don’t tell me anything about the businesses, so I just follow Donatello to the elevator, Apollo closing our rear.

The whole becoming-a-murderer and maybe-being-a-mage is weird, but the weirdest part for me is having people at my side. That’s how lonely I’ve been throughout life. I’ve had problems before, but I always faced them alone, and not because I chose to.

Donatello intertwines his fingers through mine, and Apollo’s arm drapes around my shoulders, tugging me closer to his chest. There are reassuring smiles on both their faces as we climb the floors, and I feel fucking treasured in this moment. And it’s a new feeling for me, to feel like I’m important to someone. Like someone cares about me.

The elevator doors open without a sound, and Donatello guides us down a hallway, pulling me by a hand. Though it’s a commercial building, it’s opposite to the ones I’ve seen in the human world. This place is fancy as shit. Marble floors and golden door frames, sideboards take the corners every several feet, expensive-looking vases filled with fresh flowers that give off a subtle scent. It looks more like the corridors of a palace.

I’m so distracted by how fancy the place is I don’t even notice Donatello knocking. The door swings open before I’m ready, and a beautiful woman stands in the way, unlike the stereotype I had built for a mage.

“Donatello. You’re just on time,” she says with a small smile, though her voice is perfectly empty.
