“Hey, Misha,” I said later that night, when we were in our dorm room.

“What?”

“Do you have any intention of becoming a nun?”

“Huh?” Misha looked over at me, understandably startled. “Where did that come from?”

“Do you?”

“Of course not.”

“I see…”

Misha turned back to her desk, muttering under her breath, “What is she talking about now?”

“But would you do it if it meant you could be with Yu?” I persisted.

Misha stopped writing, probably because she was having trouble concentrating. “Rae, what are you thinking?”

“About the happiness of my best friend.”

“You can’t trick me.”

“I’m not trying to trick anyone.” I climbed out of bed. “I might be able to do something about Yu’s situation.”

“How?”

“Well, it’s the same as what I already told you before with the curse stuff.”

“That’s not what I mean. How are you going to convince the court?”

“Shock and awe.”

“Are you planning something crazy again?”

“You make me sound like an evil mastermind.” I had nothing but good intentions. Well, mostly. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the royal family. “Actually…”

And with that, I explained my scheme to her.

“What are you thinking?” she demanded.

“I think this is the only way.”

“You realize that if they discover your involvement, you will be executed, yes?”

“I won’t let that happen.”

Misha put her hand to her temple, as if her head hurt. “Why are you so set on this?”

“I told you already. For my best friend.”

“A half-truth at best, wouldn’t you say?”

“Of course not.”

“Liar,” she declared. “You aren’t my friend.”

I was taken aback. “Why would you say that?”

“You aren’t Rae Taylor,” she said. “Not the one I know.”

I was starting to grow anxious. “Wh-what are you talking about, Misha?”

“It was like the day we enrolled in the Academy…you became someone else.”

Uh oh. I didn’t like where this was going.

“Until that day, you were strange, I admit, but you were still, at heart, an ordinary girl. But ever since we came here, you’ve been a completely different person.” Her cold, red eyes pierced through me. “At first, I blamed the stresses of our new environment. But, no. It’s something else, something more, and I see no sign of you changing back. You’ve become another person.”

“Misha, do you hear what you’re saying?”

“Of course. I know it’s ridiculous. But it’s the only explanation.” Misha wasn’t backing down. “So, who are you? What happened to my best friend, Rae Taylor?”

I couldn’t bluff my way out of this one. I had always thought Misha aloof—I never imagined she would study me like this. What could I do? What would make her understand?

“I am Rae Taylor.”

“That’s your answer? Then I regret to inform you, but I won’t be going along with your plan. And I won’t help you endanger Yu.”

It was useless. I wouldn’t get anywhere just bulling my way through this.

“Okay… Okay.” I took a deep breath. “I’ll tell you the truth. But I don’t think you’ll believe me.”

“I’ll be the judge of that.”

And so, for the first time, I told someone everything I knew—the entire story, from start to finish. That I
