Chapter Thirteen

I paced back and forth across my bedroom, stopping every few seconds to listen. The low rumble of voices came through the wall, too quiet to make out. They’d locked me in here to discuss my mother. Like I was a child. Frustrated by the lack of news, I threw my hands in the air and began pacing again, cutting a faded path through the carpet.

Elizabeth was here. In this very dungeon. Across the hall.

Nervous energy coursed through my veins. She wanted to talk to me. The demon that lived in my mother’s body wanted to talk to me. Gabe had been dead set against the idea. He thought I would lose control if I was allowed a few minutes alone with him. To be honest, I couldn’t blame him for feeling that way. I didn’t exactly have a great track record the past few weeks. Facing my mother would be my biggest challenge yet.

“My mother.”

I let the words roll off my tongue in the silent room. It felt wrong to say them, yet, they were true. Demon and human together had birthed me. Both were responsible for my strange and cursed life. She was my mother.

The door to my room swung open. I turned to see Silvia standing in the hall, wearing a sapphire blue jumper that cinched at the waist. She rested her hand on her hip, long red nails curved slightly like claws. With a quick nod of her head, she motioned for me to come forward. Hesitating for only a second, I walked toward her and paused in my doorway.

“You will talk to her,” Silvia growled. “But only for five minutes. I want you to report back on everything she says. Do you understand me?”

I nodded my head, but I was busy watching the group of people in the living area. Oscar, Manuel, and Gabe still sat at the table. Manuel and Gabe both looked strained, as if they’d lost an argument. Oscar was picking at his nails, boredom clear on his face.

“Where’s Luke?” I asked. Surely, he should be here for this occasion. I might have demon blood, but I was still his daughter. “Why didn’t he come?”

“Luke couldn’t be here,” Silvia snapped. Grabbing my elbow, she pulled me to the next room. “No more questions. Let’s get this over with.”

There was no Earthly reason why my father would miss this. I could only think of two possible explanations: either he was being kept in the dark by Silvia or he didn’t want to see me anymore. I really hoped it was the first. The second option was too heavy to bear. But I couldn’t blame him if it was true.

As she went to unlock the cell, I glanced one more time over my shoulder at Gabe. Dark circles hung under his worried eyes. A frown pulled at his beautiful mouth and he seemed ready to jump from the table at a moment’s notice. Our eyes met for the briefest of seconds. In that instance, I could feel the loss, the hurt, the worry that I’d put him through.
