CHAPTER 17

“YOU CAN’T TELL HIM.”

Mia’s eyes flew open as she sat up quickly, looking around. She lay in the middle of a rich, green field with rolling hills that smelled like spring. It was beautiful and unlike anything she had ever seen. She patted the grass, smiled at the smooth texture and wanted to roll around in it.

“You can’t tell him.” The words drifted toward her.

“Who said that?” She slid to her knees, gaze keen as she searched for the voice. “Who’s here?”

A tall man with green eyes, long white hair wearing a black robe walked toward her. “Hello, Mia.”

“Hello, Grandfather. You scared me. Is this your place?” She looked around again. “I’ve never seen this one before, it’s beautiful.”

“Yes, one of them. Come sit. Let’s catch up.” He folded gracefully onto the grass.

Inhaling deep, she sat back and looked at him. “You look good, at peace.”

He nodded. “Things are changing but that’s good I think. How about you? Still searching?”

Did she hear mocking in his tone? Possibly. Grandfather had been around as long as she remembered. He first came to her in a dream in her early teens when she first escaped the Liege. She’d been lost and afraid, he told her how to find Thomas and the others which literally saved her life.

“Yes, I am.” She explained Thomas’ mission and her working the case. When she discussed the murders her heart wept. Emotions intensified in dreams.

“There is much evil in the world. At times like these there must be a balance,” he said. “You cannot tell the young man of your past. The time is not right. He’s not ready.”

Mia thought about what she had seen in the mist and agreed. “He’s been through a lot, thinks he’s older than me.” She offered a bittersweet smile. “You’re right, I cannot and will not betray the others by sharing our secret.” She looked at Grandfather. “Will he stay? With me I mean?”

He smiled. “That’s between the two of you.”

She hadn’t expected an answer but it never hurt to ask. “He changed. He’s fully human but has similar powers to us. How’s that possible?”

“Perhaps his injury required surgery that tapped into the same areas of his brain as yours. You’re human with a little extra, so is he.” He shrugged. “How would I know these things?”

“He’s lonely,” she said speaking of herself as well. She’d never realized just how lonely she had been.

“He’s not alone. There are others like him, coming together because of the war. Choices and alliances will be made, could be good, could be bad. Who knows what’s in the hearts of men?”

She took note of his words and didn’t bother asking for explanations. Most times she thought he was an oracle with no idea of the things he said.

“What about us? Are we going to survive all of this change?” Granted she told Thomas she knew she’d die one day, but if that day was in the distance, she wouldn’t be mad.

He gave her one of his rare smiles.
