Chapter 11

“Ah Miss Lawrence, we were awaiting your arrival. It’s time to resume your extra studies.” A familiar, slimy voice hits my ears as we walk through the front door.

I spin around and glare at Coventry as my heart sinks to my feet. I was hoping to have longer before he came back for me. His presence makes me want to run away screaming, but instead I plaster a fake smile on.

“I thought Mr. Ashborn was training me here?” I ask sweetly.

“I changed my mind. He can aid you in your studies here, but when I want you in the capital it’s non-negotiable.” Coventry glowers at me.

“The items you left last time are still in your room so there’s no need to return to your dorm room. Shall we be off?” He smiles, his beady eyes fixed on me.

It takes everything within my power not to shudder in revulsion. He holds out his arm and I slip my hand on his elbow, silently pleading Max for help, though I know there’s nothing he can do. Anger flashes across his eyes and he quickly stares at the ground.

“Maxwell, send your parents my regards. We should have dinner again soon. Maybe you can keep Miss Lawrence company?” Coventry flashes a brilliant smile at him.

“I’ll be sure to do that. And I’ll keep Whisper company anytime.” He grins back, but his eyes are menacing.

Coventry nods once, then leads me out of the school, back to my second prison where I’ll be expected to do things I know I want no part of. When we arrive at Coventry’s home, I’m quickly ushered inside.

“What’s the rush?” I snatch away from him and stop dead in my tracks.

“The tutors are set up and waiting for you to continue your studies. We’re in a bit of a hurry to teach you as much as we can before the end of the school year, young lady.” Coventry gives me a hard stare. “Now follow me.”

“Why such the rush? School doesn’t end until August. It’s only the beginning of February.”

“Don’t question your leader. We just need you ready. I have a deadline I’ve promised my investors.” He growls.

He turns on his heel and proceeds down the long familiar hallway towards the library. I follow him through the door, Brennus and Treyton are standing beside a table covered in old books.

“Here she is. Now get to work. Make sure you only cover the topics we have discussed.” Coventry gives them a curt nod then turns on his heel with his nose in the air and leaves the room.

“Looks like it’s going to be a long day fellas.” Sighing, I take a seat and wait for instruction.

While Brennus is shuffling through the pages trying to settle on where he wants to start. I can feel Treyton watching me, so I decided to have a little fun with him.

I turn my attention on him and give him a wink. “How are you today?”

“To be honest, it’s a bit strange being back here. I was just getting in a routine of studying with you at school.
