Chapter Sixteen – Perfect Match

On the way to the Cradleshack, whispers carried across Castle Hayne’s nighttime, drilling into my eardrums like tiny demons. I’d spent the last four weeks in Minders Camp, discovered my wings, almost died. I’d been probed by a Tainted, heard my brother’s voice inside another world, and fallen for a boy who belonged to a mythical group. But for some reason, I wasn’t ready to face this crowd, a group that consisted of gifted kids from all eight Boroughs.

The air was filled with nasty odors again. Anxiety swelled in my chest. The feeling was almost as stuffy as the amber colored dress I wore pooled around my ankles, making it difficult to walk. Border guards patrolled the outside of the building, and SOCS were nowhere in sight. Odd.

Dr. Van Meter denied my right to visit Micah this month. He said the hospital clientele was uncomfortable around violence, and the Beast tamer was all about that. Denying my visit probably made him feel superior, the doctor of vesselism. What other way was there to get back at me for screwing up his plans? Under Governor Winthrope’s orders, Micah’s vesselism had been placed on hold until after Swordfest in a month. Maybe Van Meter denying my visit was for the best. I needed extra time to understand what I heard in Batts Grave. And I didn’t trust myself to have the control I did a month ago.

Something in me was wildly different. I wasn’t sure if said something was all good.

One thing was good, though. I was glad to be with my other two Bermuda Threes, Jalen and Lexa, for the first time in weeks. As I walked arm in arm with them, I realized any sacrifice was worth seeing my friends smile.

Rock opera with its fast strings and female vocalist’s inhumanly high notes sounded outside the Shack. Memories from the Falling Lights Festival came back to me when, we walked through the double-glass doors. Even though it was decorated in a different way tonight, the place still reminded me of Faris. The silver cloth draped over the walls made me think of his eyes.

Inside the room, Rianne Templeton bounded over to us. She wore a light blue dress with ruffles that bounced as she walked, reminding me of a human cotton ball. Lex told me she’d been assigned as the gathering leader because of her perfect behavioral record. Her card would be scored first while mine would probably be thrown out of the pile. After spending the last five days with Faris Toulan, I didn’t care one bit about being paired with other boys.

Rianne beamed at us. The glitter on her cappuccino-toned skin reflected in the new strobe lights. A boy with almond-shaped eyes like Rianne’s bounded over, draping an arm across her shoulder. He beamed a smile of perfect teeth, glancing at me as he nudged Rianne.

“My brother, Sean. Try not to let him charm his way onto your scorecards tonight.” Sean wrapped his hands around Rianne’s neck in a playful way, shaking her.
