"Why didn't you follow me tonight, Kal? I could've used your help. You haven't even asked what happened." It was tough carrying on a conversation when all Daria's thoughts were focused on Declan.

Kal finished drinking his coffee. He shrugged. "You were running off to help the vampire instead of ignoring him and focusing on your test. Maybe I didn't want to be a part of that." "You're mad."

"I'm worried. This is what you've worked for your entire life, and I don't want you to blow it. The judge can see what I see. Eris is out there busting her butt trying to snatch someone."

"Yeah, and she has lots of butt to bust." When had that become a bad thing? In the harpy world, Eris's big butt was a source of pride. Daria was thinking like a human.

A smile tugged at Kal's lips. "Well, she's making it work for her. She tried to snatch a werelion earlier tonight. When she couldn't get a grip on his mane, she sat on him." His smile widened. "The lion bit her on the ass. Guess she'll be looking for other prey."

For the first time in what seemed like forever, Daria laughed. "I hope the judge got a front-row seat for the show." She scanned the dining room. Everyone was busy eating or talking except... She narrowed her gaze. Mel was staring at her. When she returned his stare, he looked away. "Kal, about the judge, what are the chances he might be a were?"

Kal followed her gaze. "Mel? What makes you suspect him?"

"I don't know. It just seems every time I turn around, he's there. I mean, he's the kind of judge the harpies would love—vicious, vindictive, and a bully." Kal nodded. "I'll keep an eye on him." "So, where's this wereleopard you've picked out for me?" She wondered how Declan was doing. Was he still hurting? Daria controlled her urge to push back her chair and rush to Sparkle's room. She pressed her lips together. Her job. If she didn't do it, she'd lose it. "I'll take a look at her and then I have some paperwork to do."

"I've changed my mind." He glanced away. "The wereleopard isn't good enough for you. If Eris is targeting a were, you have to go for something better. We'll try to isolate one of the Night Feeders. They don't have De-clan's power. A vampire will be more impressive than whatever Eris drags to Tartarus." She blinked. "But you—"

When he looked at her, she saw anger in his eyes. Why? Kal never got mad at her,

"Let me set it up, okay?" He pushed his cup away from him. "It's not like you're helping anyway. You'd think I was the one being tested." With that parting shot, he got up and left.

She knew she'd let distractions sort of mess with her focus, but this was only her second night here, for crying out loud. She'd get it together before the end of her two weeks. Of course, the universe would end before that if someone didn't stop Fenrir.
