Chapter Fourteen

“I’m confused.” Saffron was sitting at the table in the kitchen with Sage and Ven. Xander and Caden were cooking. She had to control the smile on her face. The sight of Xander cooking with his brother made her heart pound. The love between them was clear. If she had her phone, she’d sneak and take a picture of it.

Ven handed her a phone and winked. He was way too spooky for her peace of mind, but she shrugged there were too many other things to worry about. She did get several nice pictures of them.

“It makes a strange kind of sense.”

Sage turned to look at Ven. “What do you mean?”

“Up to now, there have only been female deaths. You almost had to wonder why they never killed a male.”

“I assume Richard killed thing one because I’m still alive.”

“Why did he want to kill you?” Xander walked over to her and kissed her cheek while placing a glass of apple juice in front of her.

She missed the apartment and making orange juice together. There were moments like these when she wished it was just the two of them, so she could climb in his lap and shut the world away.

“He said that Jim was supposed to kill the door, but he failed. That meant he couldn’t have a door and a key running around.” She had spent the night wondering what it all meant but was unable to really get her thoughts straight.

Xander picked her up, sat on her chair and placed her in his lap.

“How did I miss this the first time you said you were the key?”

“Do you know what that means?”

“No, but I know who the door is.”

Caden was holding Sage tightly in his arms looking at Saffron before he finally sat down.

“Someone start from the beginning and tell me what’s going on.”

Ven looked around the table to see who was going to speak. Everyone seemed locked in a staring contest.

“Sage came to us because her boyfriend was trying to sacrifice her.”

Saffron looked at her. “Jim?”

“Yeah, did you know him?”

“Not really. I do remember the first time I met him; he spoke about his girlfriend. He called you amazing.”

A smile touched Sage's lips for a minute. Memories of what could have been danced before her eyes until thoughts of what really happened killed them viciously.

“I know the next time I met him; he was different. But that’s all I know about him. If not for Richard continually mentioning his name, I wouldn’t even remember those two meetings.”

“Some nights I wake up shaking, and I have to remind myself he wasn’t always like that. This may sound strange, and I know Caden is mine, but I wish at times that Jim had lived the right life so he could have found what I found. There are times I think that this is all he wanted. Then I remember he desired power.”

Saffron and Sage stopped talking looking at each other hopelessly.

“He tried several times to kill Sage. In the end, Caden took care of him.
