Chapter 10:
Since the 1700s, the south side of Boston carried a reputation of being a rougher part of town. Up until the American Revolution, the north side and south side were both controlled by human gangs. The Fae syndicates tended to keep a lower profile. Great gang wars had been fought over the turf separating the different gangs for centuries, both norms and Fae picking sides in the war. News of the violence was suppressed for years, keeping the general public ignorant of the violence happening around them. As long as it was thug killing thug or Fae killing Fae, most of the general population turned a blind eye.
Kennedy needed to travel into the roughest parts of the city to the Unseelie Court. Run by the Leprechauns, they had retreated to one of the many green spaces that remained. Another cemetery, of course, full of dead things and rarely visited by norms. It made the perfect hiding place for many types of Fae.
Outside the confines of the Seelie Courtâs tent, she took a deep breath of the warm moist air of the Elvesâ secret garden. If not for the Sylvan creatures who called this place home, it would have been easy to convince Kennedy to stay longer. She knew a wicked killer storm waited for her outside, and she didnât relish the cold and blowing snow.
âYou should be in irons.â She knew the voice that spoke as it rounded the tent. It was Sybil. Kennedy wanted to bash her face in but knew it would be unwise to attack an Elf on their home turf.
She turned to face the bitch who attacked the Succubi for no apparent cause. âIt is nice to see you tooâ¦â Kennedy forced herself to put on a fake smile and turn her voice as sweet as possible. In truth, she wanted the satisfaction of tearing this creatureâs face off with her nails. âWhere are Dani and Trinity?â
âYou donât know? Why am I surprised⦠you did turn tail and run as soon as the going got the slightest bit difficult. You missed all the fun.â The wry smile that spread across the female Elfâs face made Kennedyâs blood boil.
Kennedy felt the hair on the back of her neck rise. In this instance, she wanted nothing more than to let loose all her rage and frustration into her magic and let the fur fly. âJust tell me if they are safe in Elf custody, and things wonât have to get ugly here.â
Sybil laughed, taunting her. âI am late for a meeting with the court.â She turned to enter the tent Kennedy just left. âIf we did have any of your little coven in custody, it would not be my place to tell you. Anything I said, you couldnât trust, anyway. Besides, we have real problems to attend.â
Before Kennedy responded, the female Elf disappeared beyond the flap. Damn, she hated Elves. If she read the last cryptic message correctly, the Elves didnât have the twins. That might be good or bad, or Sybil played with her, and the twins were safe in a cell somewhere.
