CHAPTER SIX

“You need sleep,” Damon said.

“Sleep?” I asked, “You think I can sleep after this?”

I was shaking, and I hadn’t set foot on the bed since I saw the mask. I had tossed it to one side and had vaulted off the bed like it was on fire. I didn’t want to go anywhere near either the bed, or the mask. Damon was standing a few feet away from me, his hands stretched, trying to calm me down, but my heart had boarded a train with my mind, and both had sped off into the distance.

“I know you have questions, I have questions too, but you’re no good to anyone until you’ve had a chance to rest and process everything you’ve seen and felt.”

“Forget about what I’ve seen and felt—what the hell is that thing?”

Damon glanced at the mask laying on the bed, then turned his eyes on me. “I know what it is, but the answer to that question isn’t going to make sense unless I offer up even more information to back it all up, and you are not ready for more input.”

“Says who?”

“Says me, and I’m not going to repeat myself.”

A shudder ran through me, not so much brought on by a chill or a coldness, but by a strange kind of excitement. The tone of his voice had changed then, had somehow become even more authoritative… and I hadn’t hated it. In fact, I found myself shutting up and instantly relaxing, even though my entire body had stiffened at the sound of his voice.

“Now,” Damon continued, approaching, “You may not know it, or feel it, but you have gone through psychological trauma tonight, and you’re going to do as I say if you want to escape from this with your sanity intact. Is that understood?”

I swallowed and nodded. “Yes,” I said. “Are you… a doctor?”

“I don’t have a doctorate, but I understand the human mind better than most. Come here.”

Every instinct in my body told me not to, told me to keep my independence, resist, but there was something about him that was making me compliant, and it wasn’t magic; I knew what that looked like coming from him, that flash of light across his eyes. I couldn’t believe I was even considering that magic was real, but more than just that, I couldn’t believe I was doing as I was told. It was like being at home all over again.

I walked up to him, bare feet padding lightly across the hardwood floor. Damon stepped up in front of me and placed his hand on my cheek. The sensation was warm, and pleasant. I almost wanted to nuzzle into it, rub my cheek against the palm of his hand. What the fuck, Andi? He smoothed my cheek with his thumb, all the while keeping his eyes fixed on mine.

“I need you to relax,” he said.

“Yes…” I whispered.

“Today has been long and tough, but tomorrow will be longer, and tougher. You need your strength.”

“I do… I just—”

“—none of that is important right now.
