Maia’s peace offering included an overnight stay in a modest farmhouse. The owners—a young vampire couple—nearly shat themselves when they saw the Ancient on their doorstep and raced to accommodate her request.

I was wobbling on my feet by the time Kat and I were shown our room. Chareve was across the hall. Maia herself had left, citing a midnight meeting with the Pope. Apparently she had some explaining to do—namely, how the Conclave would pay to rebuild the area Sickle had destroyed. Even though the Pope was a vampire turned by Ascension, and therefore a pup compared to Maia, he was still… the Pope.

Kat flipped on the television in the room. Every station featured news of the sinkhole. I was glad it was in Italian so I didn’t have to process what they were saying. The images alone were terrible.

“The kind of power…” Kat trailed off, staring at aerial footage of Vatican City and the nearly a quarter-mile wide, steaming depression.

“They’re lucky she didn’t sink the whole city.” I headed for the bathroom. “I’m showering.”

“Thank God.”

Middle finger extended over my head, I closed the bathroom door on her chuckle.

I was too tired and heartsick to enjoy being clean again. By the time I turned off the water, brushed my teeth, and towel-dried my hair, my body was shutting down. The homeowners had supplied us with changes of clothes, including nightgowns. Mine was a floor-length white sheath with ruffled shoulders.

I dragged myself into the bedroom, grumbling, “Not a word,” as Kat opened her mouth.

“What? You look great.”

“Shut up,” I groused and tumbled into one of the twin beds. “Wake me up when the world isn’t on fire.”

“See you never, then.”

I grunted.

Despite everything, I was instantly asleep.
