Chapter 11

Anne

I’m not a cruel person, I swear, I just really don’t like people who grab onto me without permission. The idea of having a tiny bit of revenge is too delicious to resist. Grabbing my purse and Ori’s hand on the way, I grin like a fiend as I march toward the front door.

“Where are we going, my love?” he asks so sweetly.

“You won’t really hurt anyone, right? And you can take the life force, or whatever it’s called, fast?” I ask as I shut the door behind us and start down the street. “So, let’s say you just brush up against someone. You could take a little bit, right? You only need a little more mojo, meaning you’d only need a few people, so if we just took from a handful of jerks it wouldn’t be too bad of a thing.”

“Yes to all of that but what are you planning, Anne?”

“Follow me.”

Ori follows my commands blindly and for a moment I feel a little guilty, like I’m bossing him around, until he stumbles next to me. I nearly tumble down with him when he dips downward. When I look in the direction I’m falling, I see that his thigh has bent flat in half.

“One moment please,” he pleads, falling to one knee as he adjusts his stuffing to refill his thigh. Once he’s finished he stands up and retakes my hand. “My apologies. Let us continue.”

I don’t feel so bad pulling him along now. He needs this, he needs me to take him to these guys. Ori is a sweetheart and I can’t let him fall apart just because I’m too chicken to be a little bit ruthless. The thought of him getting hurt—or worse—because of my hesitation frightens me more than I thought it would.

So, I take him to the corner where the teenage jerks hang out and sure enough they’re there. A little before we get to the corner I drag Ori over to the shadow of a building where I can talk to him a little more privately. My fingertips itch to be soothed but I grab Ori’s hands instead.

“See those guys? They called me names and grabbed my arm and stuff. They’re really young, like nineteen years old I think, so if you take just a tiny bit they won’t miss it. They’re huge jerks and they deserve it anyway. Okay?”

My stomach kind of hurts when I say it. I mean, it’s definitely not like I’m Light Yagami or something, I’m not killing them, but it’s not a nice thing to do.

A flapping sound distracts me. I see Ori’s ear blowing wildly in the breeze, nothing more now than flat fabric against his head as he smiles his adorably dimpled smile and tells me, “Of course. I would do anything for you, my Anne.”

No, it’s not a nice thing to do but for Ori it’s the right thing to do.
