I’m not sure when I started to do this, but I’ve been testing my aura-reading powers to see if I can sense emotions from greater and greater distances. That’s how I first learned that Ellamaria has a crush. I could sense her heightened anxiety, her embarrassment, her lightheartedness. I still haven’t asked her who she likes yet, and she hasn’t said. Makes me wonder if she’s afraid to tell me because she doesn’t know where I stand with Robb.

Honestly, I don’t know where I stand with Robb.

I’m in my weather immunity class. Professor Gremma offered to let me out of it early if I do some kind of crazy stunt with her, and I’ve been thinking about it. So far, I’ve just been doing the lessons day by day. It’s too bad that fireballs don’t ever rain down from the sky. Maybe then I could finally get over my fear of fire.

Not that I want fire to come down from the sky. That would be utterly terrifying and would probably make my fear that much worse.

Of course, outside of Ellamaria, the one person I concentrate on the most is Robb, and when I feel a flash of fear and then acceptance, I know something is terribly wrong.

Without thinking, I stand.

“Going somewhere?” Professor Gremma asks me dryly.

“Yes.”

“You cannot walk out that door.”

“Try to stop me.”

Her eyes narrow. “Do you want to fail?”

I eye her. “Go ahead and fail me. You wanted me to test out of your class already, and you and I both know I can handle any kind of weather already. This class is a waste of my time.”

Her nostrils flare. “You better—”

“You need to teach them,” I tell her, pointing to the rest of the class. “There’s a storm coming, and it’s going to rain blood. Not just vampire blood. Werewolf blood. We need to know as much as possible, so fine, I’ll take whatever challenge you want me to face to test out of this course. Make it even harder now just to punish me. I don’t care.”

She calls after me, but I bolt out of there, racing and then teleporting away. I’m far from the castles that contain our classes, but I’m not sure where Robb is. My eyes close, and I focus on him, on his emotions, but it’s harder and harder to sense him. His aura is fading.

And then I feel him. It’s just a flicker of… I’m not sure what, but it’s enough for me to pinpoint his location, and I teleport there.

Robb is curled over on the grass, in a puddle of blood. I exhale slowly even though I want to chase down whoever did this and slaughter them.

Yes, slaughter them. A bit extreme of a reaction, maybe, but I am part demon.

It almost feels like someone else is the one to kneel beside him. I can hardly prevent my hands from shaking as I draw him into my arms. His breathing is slow, his pulse weak, and he groans as I shift him so that his head is in my lap.
