CHAPTER SEVEN

The rest of the afternoon had passed with Ivy and nothing like that happened again. The moment was so short, but Collin replayed it over and over again in his mind. What was she doing? He didn’t understand her. He didn’t think she felt like that about him, but after yesterday, he wasn’t so sure.

Collin moved slowly down the street, trailing the Martis in the early morning sun. People moved up and down the street, hurrying with coffee in hand. Many of them were headed toward jobs that held little satisfaction, and he heard them grumble as they past. Collin remained behind the human filled with angel blood. This Martis was young, as were most. Collin had been following him since last night. The Martis was supposed to be reporting to someone here. Now. Collin couldn’t see the other Martis, but he didn’t dare get closer.

The stout Martis he’d followed was sitting in front of a fountain by the bank building. The water cascaded into the pool below making it difficult to hear, which Collin was certain was part of their plan. At the same time, it left the Martis vulnerable from those sitting to their backs. And that was where Collin sat.

The stout Martis spoke first, “She wants you to come. They think they found her. We tracked her for the past few days and the girl acquired a piece of Celestial Silver on her own.” His voice was incredulous.

The guy sitting next to the stout Martis answered, “She did?” He sounded equally surprised. “How?” He shook his head, perplexed. After a moment, he said, “Never mind, Marcus. Not here. I’ll talk to Julia when I get to Italy.”

Collin relaxed a little bit when they revealed the location. If he could find this girl, he could fulfill his end of the bargain. It would free him from Kreturus. He’d get his soul back—and save the people around him in the process. Collin looked around at the mass of people. For the most part, humanity was good. His gaze fixated on a young couple leaning together. The boy whispered something in the girl’s ear, and she smiled. They gazed at each other in a way that made Collin envious. He looked away. If the Prophecy Girl was good, he couldn’t do it, but knowing what she really was, he could kill her. She was a blight on the earth, someone who was going to kill millions of innocent people. Collin was carrying out justice by destroying her. Leaning forward he turned his head as the wind blew. A spray of water splattered into his face. But the wind also carried more distinct whispers, whispers that he needed to hear.

Marcus’ voice drifted across on the breeze. “So that’s it? You’re just gonna go? How can you be so certain? What if they’re wrong…”

The other Martis cut him off, “We know it’s her. That’s all there is to it.” The Martis rose and walked away. Collin stared at his back, taking in his stride and golden brown hair.
