The next morning, a mysteriously-prepared breakfast awaited me on the kitchen table of my tree house. After searching the house for unwanted visitors and coming up empty, I decided to call on the other girls and see if they’d woken up to something similar. Thankfully they discovered a spread of food on their own tables as well, so I sat down to eat. It was too bad I didn’t have Sebastian here to taste the food first in case it was poisoned. As soon as I thought it, I scolded myself for even thinking I wanted Sebastian anywhere near me. A plate full of figs, dates and grapes sat next to a soft boiled egg sitting precariously in a holder. Another small plate presented several bran muffins and some sort of brown spread that looked like honey.

Surprisingly hungry, I devoured everything on the table and quickly showered before meeting the other girls on my porch to head up and check on Stasia.

“How is she?” I asked.

“See for yourself.” Finn frowned and opened the door for me to enter Stasia’s tree house. “Don’t be alarmed. We had to restrain her.”

“Restrain her?” Avery gasped. Her light blue eyes dripped with concern and she began to bite her fingernails.

“Why?” Carmen prompted with shock. Phoebe remained quiet, but I could tell by the chunk of skin she was biting off of her lip that she was worried. We all fell silent as our eyes found Stasia in the bedroom. She was lying on the bed and looked to be sleeping while Amphitrite lounged on the bed next to her; reading. She looked up at our entrance.

“Good morning, girls!” She smiled at us and carefully set the book down on the bedside table. I attempted to read the title but it was rubbed almost clean, along with the leather binding. She was apparently a fan of the classics…the original versions.

“What’s wrong with her?” Avery asked Amphitrite delicately.

“We aren’t sure,” Amphitrite said with a sigh. “She’s still herself, just a little more…aggressive. She may be coming down with something.”

“I thought she couldn’t get sick?” Phoebe probed.

“She’s immortal, not immune.” Amphitrite grinned at her with understanding. “Which could also explain her bad mood.”

“Bad mood is an understatement,” Carmen muttered, but didn’t hide her irritation. “She got pissed off when we found her and made sure we knew she was ‘busy’.”

“That sounds about right.” Amphitrite grinned and looked over at Stasia lovingly. “We’ve put her under, but she keeps mumbling things in Greek. I wasn’t aware that she knew Greek.”

“She doesn’t,” Finn answered flatly from the doorway. “Which is what I need to talk to everyone about.” He motioned for us to follow him back into the living room. Avery, Carmen and Phoebe began to file out of the room, but I couldn’t stop myself from walking over to where Stasia was lying motionless on the bed. I brushed the hair back from her face and remembered the sight of Sebastian’s energy tossing her off the edge of the cliff.
