Chapter

13

Once Laurel had finished with the detectives, and came in to visit Kayla, the nurses ushered us out, telling us Kayla needed to rest. I couldn’t see her doing anything other than rest, considering she hadn’t woken up, but I didn’t put up a fight. We had other things to do.

We left the hospital, side by side.

“What now?” asked Laurel.

“We need to find Dana and tell her what has happened. Both Melissa and Kayla have been attacked, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re both part of your coven. You and Dana both need to be extra careful. In fact, I don’t think you should sleep alone tonight. Rockmore was right when he said we should stay together.”

Her eyes widened behind her glasses. “You think someone is killing off the circle?”

“I’m not sure yet. I just think you need to be cautious.”

She nodded. “You, too.”

I chewed my lower lip. “Yeah, maybe.”

What I really wanted to do was go and find Riley. I was worried about us, about our relationship, and I wanted his reassurance that we were all right. Plus, I missed him. I never wanted to be one of those girls who said they felt incomplete when they weren’t with their man, but right now I kind of understood what they meant. I had a hole in my heart and only he could fill it.

But I couldn’t abandon my friend now.

With heavy hearts and the air between us subdued, we walked back to campus. There was still a weird feeling around college. The murder of one of our own had left people vulnerable, so the students moved from lecture to lecture, and then huddled together in the coffee shop, diner, or back in their dorm rooms.

Laurel placed a call to Dana. She spoke quickly, telling her only that she needed to see her, before hanging up.

“She’s still working on the paper.”

“Did she ask after Kayla?”

“No, she just said she was busy.”

After everything we’d been through over the past couple of hours, Dana’s lack of concern about one of her own made my blood boil. Something was wrong with Dana. She’d always been slightly intimidating, but now she was acting plain cold. Part of me no longer cared if she was still angry with me about what happened on the beach. I was determined to get the right reaction out of her when we told her the news about Kayla. I had no reason to be frightened of her. Despite her magic, I was still strong and with talents of my own.

I stormed through the main campus building, mentally building myself up, and out to the library. Laurel hurried on my heels.

Dana sat behind her desk as if nothing had happened. Of course, she didn’t know about Kayla—not yet anyway—but she was still aware Kayla had been missing, and she must have realized something was wrong. I burst through the door, but she barely looked up. When she did, it was with an exasperated sigh.

“What is it now, Beth?”

“Kayla is in the hospital.
