Chapter 10

They were coming for me.

That’s all I could think about as I drove back to campus. It could not have been a coincidence that one of the witches from the Nightshade Coven showed up at the very school where I was attending.

The coven must know who I was and what I was up to. I had no idea how. Was it the name? It wouldn’t have been too difficult to trace the family tree from Grandma. She only had one daughter and that daughter only had one daughter.

It wouldn’t have taken more than a few minutes of research. For a witch, it would take less. They could have done a locator spell and Shadow Academy would have lit up like a Christmas tree.

I needed a plan. I couldn’t just continue to be a normal student and wait for the council and the Black Cloaks to get me. If they didn’t, perhaps the Nightshade Coven would. They might be planning on some serious revenge in addition to the curse they plagued me with.

In my mind, I started to list all the things I had to do. At the very top was move out of Cress’s dorm room. Being there was putting her at risk. Not just from the council now but the coven too. I wouldn’t do it any longer. Cress was too pure to get messed up in my problems.

As soon as I was back on campus, I packed up my things and gave Cress back her car keys. I gave her a brief overview of what I learned from my outing.

“Where are you going to stay?” she asked. “You really don’t have to go. Claire and I can look after ourselves. You remember we have claws and teeth, right?”

I stopped shoving things in my backpack to look at her directly—maybe then she would get the message. “Witches have much more than claws and teeth. You can’t fight them physically when they are playing a game of spells. You can’t win, despite how badass I know you are.”

Her bravado slipped a little as she frowned. “Do you really think they are going to come for you?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t be here. I could cover for you, say you had to leave suddenly because of an emergency.”

“I really appreciate that, but all Principal Dunlop would have to do is call my parents. They won’t lie for me anymore.” I swallowed down the lump in my throat. “I’ll be okay. I just have to get to them before they can get to me. And I don’t want you risking your life for me.”

“I would gladly do it.”

I gave her a one-armed hug. “And that’s why I love you. But I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you and Claire. You’ve already been way too kind to me.”

“Where will you go?” she asked, her voice resigned now but still full of worry.

“Where I’m supposed to be.”

I grabbed the last of my stuff and headed out. I hauled my suitcase up three flights of stairs and then knocked on the door of room 396.
