I stifled a yawn and rubbed my eyes. It was bad enough that I was swollen and uncomfortable, but then disaster struck and robbed me of the little rest I sometimes managed to get on a good night. Jessica had escaped and no one knew how.

“Someone had to help her,” Cheney said to his very sleepy audience: me, Katrina, Leslie, and Frost. Unlike elves, humans and pregnant ladies needed more than a power nap. His eyes lingered on Katrina, making me bristle on her behalf.

“Cheney, you know where everyone was last night. I was trying to sleep and the girls were in the archive working on the spells. Besides, all of us have something to lose by letting her go.”

“Yeah, you know, little things like our lives,” Katrina said.

He opened his mouth and closed it again, taking a deep breath. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to accuse you. There’s just so much we don’t know and the election is in a matter of days.”

I couldn’t spare a thought for the election. Jess’s disappearance was my sole concern. Her magic wasn’t supposed to work in the cell, so what had happened? Had someone helped her—or had one of us just made an honest mistake. Sebastian, while still vague about why he went to check on her at all, thought he had her plan figured out, but if he was right, why would she leave? I was still here—and the baby was supposedly her target.

“Maybe those other people who have been helping her got her out,” Leslie said.

“How?” Sebastian said. “Security is tighter than ever before. They wouldn’t know where the dungeon is, and my key was stolen at some point after we spoke with her yesterday. There’s a limited pool of suspects.”

“What about Corbin?” Frost said. “The vampire could have taken the key and he was already in the castle. He’s also the only one who was downstairs alone with her.”

“Corbin has no reason to release Jessica,” I said. He may be a lot of things, but Corbin wouldn’t hurt me. I was positive about that. If anything he might kill her to save me trouble. Actually that thought worried me quite a bit. Surely if he had, though, there would have been a body…

“No offense, but we don’t actually know that,” Leslie said. “I know none of us did it. Kat and Frost were with me the whole time. I don’t believe for a second that you did it.” She nodded at me. “I get it that you and Corbin have been through a lot together, but what if Jessica’s offer was too good to pass up? Are you sure he wouldn’t take it? Are you positive there’s nothing that could tempt him to betray you?”

He nearly betrayed me in purgatory, but didn’t. He resisted. I knew Corbin better than anyone else in the room did, and I couldn’t come up with a single thing he wanted, other than to locate some rogue vampire. Jessica would have no idea about that though.
