"Did you hear the news? Apparently the headmistress is going away this weekend," Zane said.

"So?" I looked up from unloading the dishwasher. Seeing the espresso cups reminded me of Evie and thoughts of her body filled my mind. I set the white china down and dried my hands with a towel.

"So? So! I wonder who they're leaving in charge." Zane thought aloud. He was sprawled out on the couch as usual.

"Who knows," I said with a shrug.

Blake walked out of the washroom with a towel draped around his neck. "Some other idiot, I'm sure."

"Well I know Ms. Lowe is away for something," I said. I plopped down on the other couch.

Blake shrugged. "That's not important right now," He said. "I had a meeting with my father yesterday."

Zane and I looked up with surprise. "Your father?" I repeated. "He came here?" Visiting hours were rare, even for the elite students like us. Woodlock's tried their very best not to lift the magical barriers unless necessary.

Blake nodded. His face was dead serious. "Yeah. He knows about our little blue witch."

I jerked up. He knew about what? Blood rushed to my head as I remembered our lunchtime tryst. "Uh, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Blake sat down between us. "That Evie Knight has some secrets that my father is interested in," He said. "Apparently her parents fled the Sons of Hell."

"They were part of the community?" Zane asked with surprise.

Blake nodded.

"But that doesn't make sense," I said. "The Sons of Hell is usually for mages."

"Powerful warlocks and witches can join us if they are very powerful." Blake interrupted me. "In any case, that part doesn't matter. My father wants us to keep an eye on her. She might know where her parents are hiding and we need to find out. My father has unfinished business."

My blood went cold as I sank back in the sofa. Evie's parents were wanted by the Sons of Hell? Of course that would happen to me. That witch who sparked the passion within me more than anyone ever had before was now untouchable. My duty to my friends, my family, and my community had to come first.

"So, what do you want us to do?" Zane asked with an evil grin.

"Unfortunately, we're going to have to get her to trust us." Blake said. "Which is easier said than done."

"Why not just torture the information out of her? Or we could use magic to get her to talk," Zane suggested.

"No!" I spoke up and recoiled at their glares. "I mean, we don't have to do that. Information under duress is not always accurate. We need to get her to tell us willingly."

"How do you propose we do that?" Blake asked.

"Just leave it to me. I have group therapy with her. I bet she'd trust me if I tried," I said. Of course she would. At least, I hoped she would after the afternoon we had together. I forced away the weak thoughts and focused on the goal. "I'll get her to talk.
