I’d fallen off the old armchair and lay sprawled against the wall, my legs shaking so much I couldn’t have stood if I’d wanted to.

What the hell had just happened? One moment that lunatic Keenan had been chasing me, the next I woke up back at C.U.L.T.

My forehead throbbed and I tentatively probed it, surprised by its smoothness when it felt like a colony of worms wriggled beneath the skin. A residual heat lingered too, and I lowered my hand as realization hit.

I’d been powerless and petrified in that guest room in Uriel’s cottage, my hands a bloodied mess and useless to defend myself. Defeated, I’d rested my forehead against the wall and … the symbols. Hadn’t Joss mentioned something about the guest room being a safe haven in that house because of the symbols? Obviously, my third eye had connected with one of them and I’d ended up back here, thank goodness.

But my relief was short-lived when I imagined Keenan hanging around the cottage, waiting for the return of Uriel. I tried to stand and pain sliced through my forehead, an agony so intense I saw stars for a few seconds.

I collapsed against the wall and dragged in deep breaths, waiting for my vision to clear.

I had to go back; there was no question. Uriel could be in danger. Plus Joss and the rest of the gang would seriously freak when they saw the carnage in the house and would assume the worst: that I’d been taken.

My bleeding hands throbbed, shredded by the glass fragments. Common sense insisted I fix them before attempting a return journey. As much as I wanted to press the crystal to my forehead and return instantly to help protect the people I’d grown to care about, I’d be useless to anyone until I could use my hands in some capacity.

I braced for the pain, taking deep breaths to steady my wobbly knees as I stood. Thankfully, the excruciating roar in my head subsided to a dull ache and I managed to stay upright as my feet touched the ground.

At least I had a clear plan: head back to the dorm, clean up, and get back here ASAP before the sun set and I lost my opportunity to do my crystal trick. All without running into anyone and arousing suspicion. Easy, right? However, like the rest of my life over the last few months, nothing was easy, and as I limped across the school grounds and slipped into the dorm, the first person I ran into was Raven.

“Uh-oh,” I muttered, as she glanced at my hands, then my hair.

“Jeez, what happened to your hair?”

Trust Raven to make me laugh at a time like this.

“Your hands too,” she added belatedly, with a wry smile. “Seriously? The blood I can put up with. Your hair?” Her hand wavered. “Not so much.”

I needed to come up with an excuse, fast. Something I’d never been any good at, thinking on the spur of the moment. When I stood there like a dummy, she grabbed my hands and turned them palms up.
