Chapter Eleven

When we walked back into the study, we saw Preston sitting on the table, pointing to a part of the scroll as Perodine and Alamos read what he was showing them.

“What’s going on?” Drake asked, clearly alarmed that Preston was reading the scroll.

“Preston just pointed out a text between Earth and Mars,” Perodine said, filling with pride as she let her hand rub across his tiny back.

“What does it say?” I asked, looking at Preston, trusting his interpretation more than Alamos and Perodine’s.

Preston raised two fingers up, then looked over his shoulder at Alamos to confirm; Alamos nodded and smiled slightly.

“Two what?” I asked, looking down at the text; it just looked like small dots, then the letter D, a few more dots, and then the letter A.

“Not two,” Perodine said. “Twins.”

My eyes widened as relief came over me. “I told you,” I said, looking to my side at Drake and Landen.

“Preston,” Drake said as calmly as he could. “Does Willow have a twin? Is that what you’re saying?”

Preston didn’t say anything at first; he just looked down, then up again. “Not really,” he said quietly.

“What do you mean? It has a D; that’s for Drake. The A; her name starts with an A. Now we’re close. We find her, and we don’t have to fake anything; this will be over,” I said, feeling the first breath of relief I’d had in a while.

“We already have a plan,” Drake said as his body grew tense. “I told you before that I don’t care if you find someone that looks like you; it doesn’t matter.” He looked back at Alamos. “Twin what? Interpret further before Willow takes off looking for some girl with a name that starts with an A.”

Alamos looked down and read it again. “I see the word ‘twins’ in one language. The letters you see as A and D could be seen differently in several language’s. I’m almost certain the text beneath that says that they see the darkness.”

“That helps,” Landen said under his breath.

My eyes grew a little wider as Charlie came to mind, as well as the others with her, the ones that could see darkness. Before I could even mention them or argue that we should just go to Infante now, I uttered my one desire. “We should have been looking for a twin from day one...”

I replayed the images that Preston had shown me, and doubt came when I realized that in no shape or form could Charlie be considered a twin of mine. Beyond that, she was deeply devoted to that mesmerizing musician I saw with her.

If this were any other time, I would have already told Olivia everything I knew, and the two of us would be in Infante now, looking for that song, Charlie, and those with her. August was right before: the devil was clever, and he was taking people out of my life. I needed to find victory in a trial, but he was wrong about Clarissa; it was Olivia who was the key to this, and she was now in the last place she needed to be.
