“Elise?”
“Sorry” Her voice sounded hoarse “I never meant to use this number”
“I know But that’s why I gave it to you Just tell ”
“I had a vision”
“What? Wait a minute You … had a vision?”
“Yes Long story, that” She wanted hio with the flow Fat chance Neither of them really understood the concept offlow
“What do you vision? As in, you saw the future?” Yep, no flow
She rolled her tongue around her ht have forgotten to et visions I see the future”
She heard hi clairvoyant and you’re just telling me now?”
She had to pull the phone away froh the airwaves and burned up the inside of her car She sighed again A cursed tear slid froht eye Another from the left made the same unhappy journey
“Can you be mad later?” she asked “I don’t like this anycritical I need to tell you”
Another eight seconds passed, filled with histhis time, deep and low “Fine” Crisp, brittle, mad as hell “Give”
The issue rose up, a solid wall in her chest She had nothing to give, except guilt “I had a vision about your sister About Rachel”
“Fuck”
She cut through another string of expletives “Souys will be after her toish dark hair, pale-bluish skin You call them pretty-boys”
“Elise, you’re killingme that you know about death vampires?”
Dread worked claw-like fingers into her chest and grabbed hold She really didn’t want to do this, to reveal the truth “Yes, Gideon, I retained all the memories you believe you wiped Death vampires, otherwise called pretty-boys because of their overall beauty, alignlossy black wings, evidence that these hly addictive dying blood And they’re known as ‘boys’ because h women cross the line, too, just not as often”
No seconds this tiain she pulled the phone away from her ear She let hi of their relationship, that she knew all about the multi-dimensional world of ascension, that she had a boatload of preternatural power, and that she had never truly been honest with him
The long silence that followed brought a couple more tears
“Okay,” he said “What exactly happens in this vision of yours?”
