CHAPTER NINE

Raven didn’t speak. Cain took a deep breath and blew it out.

“There’s a legend about a group of men that have been cursed with being unmemorable... or forgettable to everyone but each other. I thought it was a myth until I met you.”

“What does that have to do with-?”

“No one can remember you!” he burst out and paced. “I didn’t remember you the first time you cleaned my room and Lo couldn’t remember you even though he met you three times in the same day. You’ve never had any friends or family, your coworkers see you everyday and can’t remember you. Grandpa told me-”

He stopped and ran a hand over his face, which was beaded with sweat. Raven sat up slowly, taking this all in. He was saying it was a power to be forgettable?

“Grandpa told me to take a lock of your hair and keep it with me at all times.”

Cain pulled up his long sleeve and for the first time, she saw a dark braid on his wrist. He always wore long sleeves so she never noticed... “Has Cain taken anything from you?” Angel’s words echoed in her mind and she swallowed hard.

“No one can remember an Unmemorable, but it seems that Grandpa gave the answer without realizing it. And it sounds like Angel figured out for himself that he had to take something from you too.”

“Why would anyone care that no one can remember me?” Raven asked, voice hoarse. “Who gives a shit about a stupid power like that?”

Cain’s eyes were so piercing, the hysterical babbling stuck in her throat.

“If it’s true that there is a line of Unmemorables, all male, who have the same qualities you do, they would make the perfect army. They would be invincible. The Unmemorables would be an army that no one could describe or remember.”

“And you think I’m an Unmemorable?” Raven sputtered.

“Angel wants an Unmemorable because they’d make the perfect assassin. If he had an army of them, he could take over the world.”

Raven got up from the bed and stood with her back to him as the Bellagio’s world famous water show played out below her. Water danced in happy arcs and sprays, but she saw none of it. So many thoughts whirled through her and she couldn’t focus on anything. Information overload. She shut off her mind, got into bed and burrowed beneath the covers. She was too tired to deal with this right now.

“Raven?”

“I can’t,” she whispered and was too exhausted to care that her voice was full of tears.

The lights went out. Cain slipped out of his sweater and got into bed beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and she relaxed against his warmth. Neither of them said a word. His presence lulled her into an uneasy sleep. During the night, she swore she felt a tongue run along the cut on her forearm and jerked awake. Cain murmured soothingly to her and rubbed her back until she relaxed and drifted back to sleep.
