Bright light stung my eyelids, and for those few seconds, I thought I was back in my room at home with Dad. Home, where the cook made me waffles with boar bacon, and I lay in bed like nothing could touch me.

I didn’t want to open my eyes, didn’t want to remember where I was, how I’d gotten here, but the memories of last night rolled over me like a space cruiser. I wanted to enjoy one more minute of believing I was safe and not in this vile place.

Why had I even agreed to come here? Maybe dealing with Vrils’ slime was better than this.

I moaned, wiping a hand over my face, but cloth covered my fingers. What the hell? I cracked open one eye to reveal my hands were covered in gauze. Blue-and-purple bruises dotted my arms and legs the size of footprints and meaty hands from that brute. But they were healing. Rapidly.

Shit! They were doing this so I’d have no evidence to give anyone. By the time I went down to the principal’s office, the wounds would look weeks old. Then I remembered seeing Ferny and Principal Malakye together in his office. After all, the people in the crowd had cheered and clapped; their faces protected their identities. They could be anyone.

Who could I trust here at the academy? Surely, the staff knew about the dead girl by now, or at least that she was missing. The killer could have been the one who’d taken the body. And how could mere students kidnap someone like this twice, gather up supporters, and do all of this without someone high above helping them?

My father.

He could order an investigation. My muscles ached as I pushed out of bed and rummaged in my pack for my comm. And how had the bastards gotten into my room again? I’d bolted the door. A creepy sensation slithered in my gut.

Pushing my dad’s name, I clicked the earpiece on. His voice recording came on and I focused on my breathing that was threatening to turn into hyperventilating. I couldn’t tell him everything over a recording in case someone on his end listened. It wasn’t unusual for my dad to play stuff on speaker. Or maybe he was getting old and it was hard for him to hear, so the sound leaked out of his comm cause he had them turned way up. When the beep sounded, I closed my eyes to focus on my words.

“Hey, Dad, it’s Serena. Um…I really need you to call me as soon as you get this message. Things here are complicated.” I bit my lip. What if he got mad, thinking I’d been expelled or something, showing up with the Vrils and a marriage certificate in tow? I didn’t want to marry right now. Besides, my running away and leaving wouldn’t stop these masked villains from grabbing someone else. What if they took Tara or Auryn? I shook my head. No, I couldn’t live with that. “I need you to do something for me.
