As soon as I get back to the dorm, I wake Araceli. “Hey, it’s important.”

She rubs the sleep out of her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

“I just got back from an Order meeting.”

That gets her attention. She sits up in bed. “Any news about Jonah? Or their plans?”

I climb into bed beside her. “They’re trying to find more people with fae blood on Earth. They want me to keep trying to reach your dad. And one of them said he or she has been successful in getting closer to you.”

Realization dawns across her face. “Cyrus.”

I look at her in the moonlight streaming through her balcony windows. "What has he done?"

She shakes her head. "Nothing too bad. He's been extra nice to me in class, hanging out with me a lot during meals in the cafeteria, and he and Isaiah took me shopping two weeks ago, before the last attack. You were at your meeting with Kassiel, or we would have invited you too.”

"Damn it. I know he’s in the Order, so it must be him.” I didn’t exactly trust Cyrus before, but now he’s definitely on my shit list. “You can't let on like you know, or they'll realize I told you. Just humor him for a few days, then come up with reasons not to be around him."

Her face falls. "I thought he was just being my friend. I hoped it meant people were getting more comfortable with me, and accepting me for who I am. But it was all a lie."

I’m angry all over again. Araceli is the best person I know, but so many people are too close-minded to see that. Now she’s going to be convinced that anyone being friendly to her is doing it with an ulterior motive. I should know…it’s how I feel too.

She sighs. “Then again, they probably threatened to cut off Isaiah’s hand or something if Cyrus didn’t agree to do this, so I can’t be too mad at him.”

“Good point.” It’s just like her to have sympathy for someone who did her wrong. I pat her on the leg over the blankets. “It just means we have to stick together to take the Order down.”

“You should talk to the Princes about it. They’re members, right?”

My mouth twists. “Yeah, they are.”

“It might be time to get their help. You’ve forgiven them and given up on your revenge, haven’t you?”

“I forgave two of them. I still have plans for Callan. He needs to pay for what he did.”

She stares at me with concerned eyes. “Don’t become a bully like them in your quest for revenge. You’re better than that.”

I’m not better though. I’m really not.
