Emily

No one spoke or moved.

How the hell could this guy know she was there, what she was?

Louis shifted uncomfortably, clearly thinking Red was lost in his own mind.

How much did he see? How much was because of this disease? Or did Red possess the ability to see through things like some in her own world could?

“We have no sample of the disease. Only what’s in his blood,” Alice admitted. “Before he was captured, Red was the leader of this rebellion against the queen.” She shrugged. “Some days are better than others.”

Jace was quiet for a long moment as he studied the red-haired male. “What do you see?” he asked.

Emily jolted. Sometimes she forgot how smart Jace was when he wasn’t constantly trying to piss her off.

The male beside her tilted his head and studied the raccoon, a fire alight in his eyes like he too had wondered the same thing Jace had.

“A harbinger,” Red said, baring his teeth at Emily. “The most beautiful death I’ve ever seen.”

A shudder went through her, but she buried it down deep and exhaled, stepping out of the shadow realm, yanking on the male’s hand so he was forced out as well.

“Graceful as a swan,” Red snarled. “And dead as a dodo.”

Emily just stared at him, wondering how he could see. Those strange yellow orange eyes almost looked gold in some lights. “A pleasure I’m sure.”

“Jack?” Alice asked, hand on the hilt of her sword as she eyed the male next to Emily. “What exactly is going on here?”

Emily snorted. At least she wasn’t the only one wondering about the motives of the males supposedly interested in her.

“A magic bullet. Magic moment, magic eye, magic magic magic,” Red whispered. “Magic touch—pure fucking magic,” Red chanted, spitting out the last word like it had a bad taste.

“Just picking up a new skill,” Jack drawled. “Don’t be jealous, Red. It doesn’t look good on you.”

Jace eyed Emily but didn’t say anything before he turned back to the odd, beautiful man in the straitjacket. “Help us get what we need, and we’ll help you,” Jace told Alice. “I can’t promise a cure, but we can get you on the right track.”

She knew he was talking about her watch, but Emily wasn’t sure she’d be able to help them with a disease that didn’t exist in her world. Who knew if the witch who’d refurbished it knew of others outside their realm?

But she didn’t undermine him in front of these people. Emily kept her mouth shut and held Red’s gaze.

“Riddle me this, phantom kiss,” Red murmured. “Do you plan to run away?”

A chill went down her spine and for a split-second Emily felt as though he’d stared straight into her soul and seen the truth she’d been hiding from the raccoons.

“Pretty eyes,” she told him, letting her own blaze ruby. “Pretty birds of prey that haunt and slay.”

Red grinned at that and she admired his sharp canines. “You can play.”

“Only today.” Emily grinned right back, feeling an odd connection to this damaged creature.
