CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“You’re back where you belong,” Tavion whispered in my ear through Trent's lips. He kissed my earlobe. A burning blast shot through my skin. I shuddered, and tried to yank away, but he tightened his grip.

I stared at Jan, hoping she’d blink, take a breath, but she didn’t. Despair filled me because I knew I was next. All of my deaths had led me here, to my final ending. But I wasn’t about to let Tavion have me that easy. I raised my arm, rammed my elbow into Trent's gut, and slammed my heel down on his foot. Startled, he loosened his grip. I broke away and raced through the desert, his howling and snarl- filled laughter echoing all around me.

“There’s nowhere to run, Marked One!”

He was probably right, but I kept sprinting anyway. Out of nowhere I crashed into something—Trent! He had appeared in my path, his eyes black, his face scowling. He raised his hand in front of my face and formed a fist. Black mist wrapped around his fingers. He opened his hand and sent a stream of vapor at me. It struck me like a head-on collision. I flew through the air and landed flat on my back. Blood filled my mouth as I gasped for air.

Trent’s shoes thudded on the ground as he approached for more. I scraped together two handfuls of the gritty, red sand, ready to throw them in his face. He stood over me. He jerked my arm, and pulled me to my feet. A yelp shot out of me and tears blurred my vision.

I glanced at Jan’s corpse. Her death was on me, but I guess it didn’t matter since I was next. But where was my protector? My capture couldn’t be that easy, could it? My mind called out to Farrell in desperation. Farrell! Where are you?

Crackling streaks of white lightning filled the air and shot across the red sky. “Looks like our friend is here,” Tavion said with a smile. “Right on time.”

Dazzling lightning filled the sky, streaming to the ground in a gold flash. I shielded my eyes until the brilliance faded. When I brought my hands down, I saw Farrell, and he looked pissed.

Tavion took hold of my arm and brought me closer. He stroked my hair as if I were his pet. He kissed the top of my head.

“Release her,” Farrell said to Tavion.

“As you wish,” Tavion replied.

He let go of my arm. Afraid to make sudden movement, I inched my way to Farrell’s outstretched hand. When our hands met, he pulled me behind him.

A deep menacing laugh erupted from Trent’s lips, a laughter that grew loud and forceful until it morphed into a hideous growl.

Farrell and I backed away. The
