CHAPTER 11

“Whoa.” I watched through the little window as Olly stomped back to his sister’s bedside, and continued to stare down at her, his expression blank.

“Fucking rude,” Prue sniffed.

Chloe backed right away from the door, her legs shaking. She was more sensitive than me, and quite a bit more than Prue, who was as sensitive as a brick. “That was scary,” she muttered, sinking into a chair in the hallway.

“He’s just worried about his twin,” I told her. “It’s normal for him to be angry. We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

She shifted on her seat, clutching her Chanel purse to her chest. “I brought The Enchanted Wood to read to her.”

“Next time, maybe.”

“We should go,” she said in a little voice.

I needed time to let Mavka read his thoughts. Turning back to the window, I gave Prue a little nod towards Chloe. Luckily, she understood immediately, and sat in the seat next to her, giving her a hug. “Don’t worry about him,” she said. “If we hang out here for a second, he might come and apologize.”

I looked at him. He wasn’t going to move. His face was curiously blank.

His mind is a maelstrom, Mavka whispered. A tempest, a whirling tornado. Underneath that frozen expression, his thoughts are whipping around so fast I can barely catch hold of them. There’s so much anger, so much pain, the causes are many and varied…

Do your best, Mav. We need to find out if he knows why his sister is in a coma.

She leaned forward in my mind, concentrating. He is so conflicted, she muttered. He hates women, hates them with a passion, but he loves his mother and sister deeply so he cannot reconcile his love for them with this new hatred that has bloomed in his heart. A hatred that has been watered and tended by others. They’ve told him how the world should be, and he’s committed to bringing about the vision… but not for his sister or his mother. He’s torn, in pain, in agony…

Who told him, Mav?

His friends… She concentrated, listening hard. There’s a face there, it’s the face of the blood witch from the party we attended. The new one I consumed. He was filling Olly’s head with nonsense about the world, how it’s been broken, but they can fix it. The return to the old ways… she snorted in derision. Idiots. Keeping women in bondage was not the ‘old ways.’

The blood witch was in the process of recruiting him?

It seems so. His face keeps swimming in the maelstrom of his thoughts; the young vampire, too, and a handful of older men’s faces. They are recruiting young men to their cause. Hurt men. Angry men.

I stared at Olly’s face, remembering how his mother said he’d been so heartbroken when his girlfriend had broken up with him for a woman. Humiliated.

He loved her, Mavka whispered. Now he’s trying to convince himself that there’s something deeply wrong with her; something perverted. She should not have been allowed to leave him.
