Chapter Nine

Violet blinked open her eyes, and, for a moment, could not remember where she was. In her head, she somehow thought she should have been back in her hometown of Falcon Cross, in her old familiar bedroom. Her mind, craving safety, had convinced her that she was home.

But as her eyes fully opened and the grogginess of sleep wore away, she saw that she was, of course, not in her old bedroom in Falcon Cross. She was still in Blackstone, in the small bedroom of the apartment she was sharing with Weston. The events of the previous day came back to her as she rolled over to look at the clock. It was just past six a.m. She’d been sleeping for over thirteen hours.

Violet sat up and stretched, surprised at how good she felt. She’d expected to be a bit more sore, but perhaps the long stretch of sleep had helped clear away the remaining aftereffects of the battle she’d fought. That was good, since she knew more battles would be coming. She groaned as she remembered the heated discussions she and Weston had had the day before with Peter and Knox.

Knox and Peter were, of course, thrilled at the news that the master bat had been killed off. This blow to Saul’s army would ensure that the good wizards and shifters had some breathing room, which would allow them to focus their efforts fully on finding the dragon ruby. The dragon ruby was one of four dragon stones that held an incredible amount of ancient, supernatural power. Three of the stones—the dragon emerald, dragon sapphire, and dragon amethyst—had already been recovered by the side of good. But the remaining stone, the dragon ruby, was still missing, and it was rumored to be as powerful as all of the other stones combined. If Saul managed to get his hands on it first, this could spell disaster. Saul might be able to, with the power of that dragon ruby, overcome all of the forces of good. Violet shuddered. She did not want to even think about what the world would look like if someone as evil as Saul was in complete control.

The knowledge that Saul’s forces in Sandview were crippled, though, was not enough to distract Peter and Knox from the fact that Weston and Violet had taken off on an unauthorized mission without telling anyone. Peter and Knox had been unhappy, to say the least. They had chewed Weston and Violet out in front of everyone, which, theoretically, should have made Violet feel upset and embarrassed. The strange thing was, she didn’t really care.

She had still been on too much of an adrenaline high to worry about the fact that her superiors were upset with her. She could hardly believe that she and Weston had done what they’d done.

Now, in the darkness of her own bedroom, a broad smile crossed Violet’s face as she remembered Peter telling her that a Wizard Advocate like her should know better than to participate in unauthorized missions.
