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 Iâll agree theyâre very nice to look at, but I donât get why people donât admire arms more often. Donatelloâs forearms are sexy as shit. I sit on his passenger seat and drool all the way to the mageâs place.
âHere we are,â he says, parking like a pro. I bet heâs been driving ever since cars were invented. Our eyes connect, and the corner of his lips tug into a smile. âAnxious?â
âSo much,â I reply, releasing a sigh and half-turning to face him. âIâm wondering if she could find my mother.â
Donatello nods. âShe definitely can.â 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 donât think there are battered corners in Hiram.
I have to crane my neck to stare at the top of the building, and itâs 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 donât 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. Thatâs how lonely Iâve been throughout life. Iâve had problems before, but I always faced them alone, and not because I chose to.
Donatello intertwines his fingers through mine, and Apolloâs 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 itâs a new feeling for me, to feel like Iâm 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 itâs a commercial building, itâs opposite to the ones Iâve 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.
Iâm so distracted by how fancy the place is I donât even notice Donatello knocking. The door swings open before Iâm ready, and a beautiful woman stands in the way, unlike the stereotype I had built for a mage.
âDonatello. Youâre just on time,â she says with a small smile, though her voice is perfectly empty.
