Vampire Academy 6 - Last Sacrifice

EIGHTEEN

I SPRANG UP FROM THE bed, relieved that I didnʹt fall over. My head still hurt, but I no longer felt dizzy, which hopefully meant I really had evaded a concussion. Glancing at an alarm clock as I left Sonyaʹs bedroom, I saw that Iʹd been in Lissaʹs head for a few hours. Her test had been far more extensive than Iʹd realized.

In the living room, I found an almost comical sight. Victor and Robert stood there, in the flesh, taking in the surrounding details. Even Robert seemed to be with us mentally this time. Only, whereas Victor was studying everything in his calculating way, Robertʹs attention was fixed on Sonya. His eyes bugged out in astonishment. Dimitri, meanwhile, hadnʹt altered his position near Sonya or put away the stake at her throat. It was clear from his stance and watchful gaze, however, that he regarded the brothers as a new threat and was trying—impossibly—to stay on guard against everything. He seemed relieved to see me and have some backup.

Sonya had gone perfectly still within her chains, which I didnʹt like at all. It made me think she was planning something. Her red eyes narrowed.

The whole situation was tense and dangerous, but a tiny part of me felt smug satisfaction as I studied Victor more closely. The dream meetings had been deceptive. Just as I could shift my appearance in dreams, Victor had made himself look stronger and healthier in those visits than he actually was in real life. Age, disease, and life on the run were taking their toll. Dark shadows lined his eyes, and his graying hair seemed thinner than it had a month ago. He looked haggard and tired, but I knew he was still dangerous.

ʺSo,ʺ I said, hands on hips. ʺYou managed to find us.ʺ

ʺThereʹs one lake in this town,ʺ said Victor. ʺOne blue house. Maybe you had trouble with those directions, but for the rest of us, it wasnʹt that difficult.ʺ

ʺWell, if youʹre so smart, whatʹs your plan now?ʺ I asked. I was trying to stall as I frantically thought about what my plan was. Iʹd wanted to capture Victor and Robert but didnʹt know how. Since we had to split our attention between them and Sonya, Dimitri and I couldnʹt team up. I wished we had leftover chain. Aside from physically subduing the brothers, we would also specifically need to restrain their hands to reduce their ability to use magic.

ʺSince youʹre so smart,ʺ countered Victor, ʺI assumed youʹd have already obtained the needed information.ʺ

I gestured toward Sonya. ʺSheʹs not exactly forthcoming.ʺ

Victorʹs eyes fell on her. ʺSonya Karp. Youʹve changed since I last saw you.ʺ

ʺIʹm going to kill you all,ʺ Sonya snarled. ʺAnd consume you one by one. Normally, Iʹd start with the human and work up to the Moroi, but . . .ʺ She glanced at Dimitri and me, her face full of rage. ʺI think Iʹll save you two for last and drag out your suffering.ʺ She paused and almost comically added, ʺYouʹve annoyed me the most.
