Chapter Five

Seraphina never liked leaving the guild grounds, she was too worried the fae would find her and drag her back to the Autumn Court. She picked pockets until she’d had enough change for a hot chocolate at a café a couple of streets away. The woman at the counter had looked at Seraphina in horror when she entered the shop.

“Your mother let you dye your hair that colour!”

Seraphina had walked away with her drink in hysterics. She fell in to one of the plush couches and exhaustion washed over. All she pretty much did the last couple of days was sleep, since she’d been banned from classes and training in general. She almost jumped out of her seat when Kai walked in to café and sank in to a chair opposite her.

“Didn’t we have thing where we can talk to each other without having to actually be in the same room?” Seraphina drawled.

“A telephone?” Kai grinned back at her and she couldn’t help but return it. “I wasn’t eavesdropping on your polygraph thing, I just was listening closely to all of it, Daria’s father is an ass.”

“He has every right.”

“To kill you? No.”

“I am a monster, Kai. We are monsters.”

“No.” Kai leaned over the table close enough to whisper, “We were created to fight them.”

“Even if I look over that, we’re fae-touched.”

“Are we? Did Faerie really change us?”

Seraphina couldn’t breathe for a minute as a kaleidoscope of awful memories span through her mind and she just felt tired, so very tired. She wanted all of it to be over, she realised but she didn’t even know what all was and where everything else began.

“Don’t think like that,” Kai murmured softly, and he pulled her off the chair and in to a hug. “We have each other. We always will.”

She hugged him back tightly. “I don’t know what to do, but I don’t want anybody to hurt you. I would kill them first.”

“Elaina,” he murmured. “You don’t mean that.”

“Why? You’ve done it.”

“To save our lives and I see them, those Gems that I killed to save you and maybe those scientists. I seem them. I saw so much with the Wild Hunt but I still see them.”

Seraphina’s lip wobbled and she could feel the hot tears streaking down her face. “I am fae-touched. My hair is blue and…my magic is different.”

“Is it?”

“I know it is but…or something is, I don’t know.” She shook her head and looked at the hot chocolate. “Let’s go back, being outside makes me nervous.”

“We’re likely to die as much out here as well as in there I think.”

“I like the one that trains me a bit before they kill me.”

Kai grabbed Seraphina’s discarded hot chocolate and downed it in a few swift gulps. “What? Hot chocolates are my life force.”

Seraphina snorted, nudging him in the side and he let out a hissing breath. “Sorry, thought you were all better. You are getting better, right?” He nodded. “So I was thinking, we should practice our powers.
