I stared up at the sun. The rain was miles behind us, and Bryant, who seemed to think he was some kind of expert on weather, told us he thought we’d be on the next leg of our trip before it showed up here. Still, Garrett held the tent strapped to his back. My blond, clean wig itched. I wondered if I actually preferred the hood.

I lifted my face to the sky. We sat on benches with about fifty others in anticipation of the next arrival. Bryant stood behind me, leaning against the wall of the ticket office, one foot bent, also touching the bricks like he could pounce forward at any moment. Mason had been quiet since we’d left the train. His eyes were sad, although no one else seemed to notice, or at least they didn’t comment. He stood to the left, staring in the direction of where the train would come from. He scanned the crowd, looking for anything he might think was threatening.

Milo paced to the right. He didn’t like the delay. He’d said as much about ten times. If there had been any other way to time things, he would have preferred it.

Kieran and Garrett, who sat on both sides of me, were quiet. I closed my eyes. The sun was beautiful, and it beat down on my unhooded face. The slight breeze in the air spoke of the coming rain. I’d take rain on my face too. I didn’t care. This was freedom. This was … peace.

Chosen …

My ears filled with the voice I’d come to associate with the strange, white beings who’d come when I’d fought the incubus and again in my dream to tell me to help the possessed woman on the train. I opened my eyes, half expecting to see the bird-like creatures above me. There was nothing there but the clouds. Had I fallen asleep?

“You okay?” Kieran touched the bare skin on the bottom of my arm. “You jumped.”

“Might have dozed off.” Although I really didn’t think I had.

“Heads up,” Bryant called from behind us, and we all sat up straight. “Unknowns approaching. No one gets close.”

I felt rather than saw the people Bryant had noticed. A whoosh of power pushed at me, the likes of which I had never felt except in the presence of some of the oldest Sisters and the Sister Supreme herself. My own powers turned on in response.

Kieran sucked in a breath. “Her powers are on.”

Despite Garret’s hand on my arm trying to stop me, I stood. Whoever had that power needed to be met head on and not with me seated. My whole body buzzed.

Five men moved until they stood in front of us. They were older than we were, maybe by as much as two decades. But they were strong, each one of them as impressive as the next. It was the woman in the center whose power spoke to mine.

She was also older than me by as much as her guards—and I had no doubt that was what they were—and I had never met her before.
