Chapter Nine

Ryan sat back in his chair and sighed heavily in defeat. “This isn’t going to be easy for you to hear, Pumpkin.”

Vicky shook her head. “I expect not,” she said in a clipped tone. “It certainly wasn’t easy for me to hear in the girl’s bathroom today either. So . . . as you always say to me, just spit it out.”

He shifted uneasily in his chair. “You know that your mother was a witch.” She nodded.

“And you are as well,” he said softly and looked at her expectantly.

She shrugged. “So far you haven’t told me anything that I don’t know.”

His eyes grew wide. “You knew you were a witch?”

She nodded seriously. “When you can control the elements, it’s hard not to notice that you’re special. Mom shared that secret with me. I guess she sensed how confused I was. Please go on.”

“I can’t believe she didn’t tell me that you knew that.”

She shrugged. “I never knew that it was supposed to be a secret. It was just something that we never talked about.”

“Right,” he said distractedly.

“Tell me something that I don’t know.”

“What’s that, Pumpkin?”

“After Mom was killed last week . . . why did you whisk me away in the middle of the night to bring me to this God forsaken place?”

“I did it at your mother’s request,” he said softly.

She did a double take. “Excuse me?”

He sighed heavily. “Your mother grew up here.” He looked around the room. “She lived in this house as a child.”

Vicky’s mouth dropped open. “I had always assumed that she grew up in Fort Lauderdale.”

“That’s what she wanted you to believe. She wanted to keep it a secret of just how powerful she was.”

She looked into his eyes. “Sara called me a white witch.”

“Just who in the hell is Sara?” He shook his head in aggravation. “Why were you using your powers in front of that girl?”

Her eyes grew wide. She brought her hand up to chest. “Me? You’re accusing me of using witchcraft in front of others?” she said indignantly.

He raised an eyebrow. “You’re denying it?”

Her face turned beet red. “I’m not denying anything.” He set his mouth in a thin grim line.

“But I will tell you this, Sara called me a witch before I ever demonstrated any powers,” she said forcefully.

His eyes grew wide. “How did she know that?”

Vicky threw out her hands and shrugged. “That’s why I’m grilling you. She knew something about me and my mother that I had never told a soul about. I’m just trying to get to the bottom of it.”

He shook his head. “Your mother told me to bring you here to live if anything bad ever happened to her. She said that you would be safe here. At the time, I didn’t really think anything about it.” His eyes took on a sad, distant look. “It was several years ago. We were so happy. You were just entering puberty, and I guess she knew you were coming into your powers. She must have known something was going to happen to her.
