Chapter Ten

The High Priestess herself came to get me. Her white limo pulled up alongside me, trailed by a line of white SUVs. Within seconds, the Witch Council Guard surrounded me. They had leather suits similar to mine, but their outfits were white and included helmets that left very little of their faces exposed. You might break a nose or bruise a smidge of forehead, but unless you really committed and dug out an eyeball, nothing would touch them.

“Sylvie. Good of you to turn yourself in.” The High Priestess peered behind me. “Where’s Sheridon and the relic?”

Blart growled and I shushed him. “I don’t know. Sheridon didn’t have it with him and he knocked me out and dumped me here.”

“You’re lying.” She advanced on me, her blue eyes flashing. Wrapping a hand around my throat she dragged me forward until our noses almost touched. “Where is the relic?”

“I never saw it. I don’t have it. My mom and I didn’t steal it.” I pushed the words past her death grip on my neck.

Mom had said I should confess, but with the High Priestess at my throat, I knew that was wrong. She was looking for any excuse, I could see it in her eyes, and she'd take anything I gave her. I wouldn't let our execution make sense. There was no point in telling lies she already believed, anyway.

I glared into her cold gaze. “You’re wasting time on me when I’m not the enemy.”

She gripped my throat tight, and I gagged as her fingers dug into my airway. With a snarl, she threw me away from her. Despite her lean frame, she had enough strength to make me stumble back several steps.

The Council Guard caught me as I teetered on the brink of falling on my ass and slapped on handcuffs before I could think to shake them off. Unlike my off-the-shelf cuffs, these were custom made of thick silver bearing the indentations of the hammers that made them. Worse, magic sigils had been inscribed all around the cuffs. I didn’t just feel the cold metal on my skin, but a hum of power as well.

I wasn't getting out of this. Magic would see to that.

"Take her." The High Priestess waved at me, and then strode back to the limo. A guard rushed to hold open the door for her, and once she was inside, the limo zoomed off fast enough to make the back tires squeal.

The guards goose stepped me in the direction of the SUV. Blart tried to intervene, bounding up into the guards, trying to break their hold on me. One of the men kicked him in the ribs and he yelped.

"Leave him alone!" I moved to smack the guard with my cuffed hands, but was yanked back by my hair.

"We won't let your familiar work his magic on us."

I craned around to glare at the guards. "Seriously? Do you even know who I am? Magic is not going to be the problem here."

None of the guards responded.
