I’ve never seen someone so cold as the day that Cy broke up with Savannah. They’d been together for years. It ended the spring that Moonset formed.

Personal Interview

“Tell me again what you did.”

Quinn looked exhausted, as did all the other Witchers. Hell, even Jenna looked exhausted, but I felt like I could run a marathon. Despite whatever it was that I’d done, my body had recovered quickly. Insanely quick. I knew this wasn’t the way magic normally worked, but what I’d done on the roof—that hadn’t been magic. At least not the kind of magic we were used to.

The Prince had pointed out that we considered magic a language, but that humans also thought it was the only language. That any other language was evil. So when Quinn asked me to tell him what had happened, I lied.

“I don’t think it was me. I told him he couldn’t kill you all, and I guess he must have listened.” It irritated me that I had to put the onus on the Prince, that I had to give him credit for a mercy he didn’t feel. He would have killed them all and then walked me along what remained of the parking lot, bragging about each kill. Showing them off like their bodies were trophies he’d collected just for me.

Quinn didn’t believe me. That’s because he wasn’t an idiot.

“The Prince did that,” he said flatly. “Folded himself up in a crystal cage and disappeared. For no reason. He was winning!” I’d never seen him so close to actual anger before. Quinn never lost his temper, but it looked like he was about to.

Jenna didn’t know what happened either, but for once she had my back. “That’s what he said.” She crossed her arms in front of her and stared down Quinn. “Is there anything else?”

He looked between us, and of course there was something else. There were lots of things else. But Quinn didn’t ask any more questions, he didn’t push things any further than necessary. “You should have run when you had the chance,” he said gruffly. He looked weirdly uncomfortable and kept looking at Jenna and ducking his head down. Never at me.

Quinn stood up and headed for the door, pausing just before he crossed the threshold. “You can see Justin in a few minutes, once we get the wards down from the upper floors.”

“If you warded the hospital, then how did he walk right in?” Jenna asked, because she might have had a change of heart where I was concerned, but she was still Jenna. “What was the point, then?”

Quinn shook his head, but he still wouldn’t look at me. “The point was to keep all the patients safe. Justin and Luca were inside; we needed to be sure they wouldn’t be harmed.”

Luca. That’s right, he was here too. “You go see Justin,” I told Jenna. “I’ll be by in a few minutes.”

Luca’s floor was now entirely empty except for the pair of guards on either end of the hallway.
