Gareth arrived about fifteen minutes later and found me in the gym, where I had been drilling punches and kicks into the heavy bag. It hadn’t made me feel any better. I needed to clear my head, and usually a run was what really helped. Hitting the bag made me wish I had the chance to land the same strikes on Conner, but the guilt was getting the best of me. If I hadn’t told Conner that HF shouldn’t have the Necro-spears, would they be dead?

“What happened?” Gareth’s voice was a lot gentler than the stringent look on his face. He looked like he’d had a day similar to mine, maybe even worse. I explained everything—the unedited version—and he listened, periodically looking in the room, as though he’d had his fill of seeing dead bodies.

“So he has four Necro-spears, twelve Legacy … Vertu or whatever … and …” His voice drifted off.

“And what?”

“And he helped three other mages escape from the Haven today, the triplets are having their way with the city, and I suspect he is doing all of this to distract us.”

“They can’t do a global Cleanse,” I pointed out.

“No, but they can destroy enough of us for it to hurt.” He blew out a hard breath before washing his hands over his face. “I can’t cover this up, Olivia.”

“You’re going to have to come out and expose who you are and let the Magic Council know that you exist, and apparently in great numbers. We need a lot more people involved.”

“No.”

“Olivia.”

“No. Don’t ‘Olivia’ me! You know what will happen. I might as well find a Tracker and let him do the job. Maybe you’ll get points if you do it!” I knew I was being irrational, but everything was happening too fast. Come out—now. Did I get to prepare a speech, defend why I got to live when I was of the same kind who not only had done the Cleanse before but wanted to do it again?

I tried to calm myself by taking several breaths, but it didn’t help. Panic and fear came over me hard and I didn’t like feeling that way. Gareth’s appearance softened, and so did his voice. “There aren’t a lot of options. At least with you out and the rest, I’m not fighting a ghost or what seems like a ghost. We’ll have help, I can actively get the SG involved.” He paused. His voice lowered. “Maybe even the Guardians of Order.”

Whatever else he had said was to my back because I walked out the door, ignoring him calling my name. I was at a slow run by the time I got to my car. I drove aimlessly for nearly an hour and then I found myself in the middle of the
