"You know I haven’t asked anyone about that faerie" Jaeden shuddered at the thought of her "No one see it up What was it like, Cy?"
Caia turned back to her with tears shier "It was shocking and heinous She was you, Jaeden Sheyour ulped at the thought of that ghoul pretending to be her, sleeping in her bed, wearing her clothes, laughing with her friends "No one had any clue?"
"None whatsoever It was Saffron, Marion’s faerie - she felt her in the house, knew she wasn’t"
"Me"
"Yes," Caia answered hollowly "Then I started getting the visions of you through Ethan’s eyes"
That someone had paid witness to the scars on her soul was difficult for her to deal with, but looking at Caia’s pained expression, the fury in her eyes that was there for Jaeden because she genuinely cared, made it a little easier to cope with "Ryder toldback tears "I aet to you sooner"
"Don’t be," Jaeden bit out "You didn’t give up That’s what matters"
"I didn’t save Sebastian"
Like always his na labored and her throat burned with unshed tears He had been her best friend and he had died trying to protect her
"Sebastian would have found a way to be there with or without you bringing hi I was his best friend and he did what either one of us would have done for him"
Caia choked on a broken sob "I miss hilad you had each other through it all"
After a moment of silence, one that now felt a little easier between them, Caia reached across and squeezed her hand "Thank you for believing in ht for o of her hand "I thought I was going to be doing this all alone You’ve all surprised me"
Jaeden chuckled hu?"
She braced herself "So happened to me because of Ethan’s torture of et it over with If anyone is going to understand feeling like a freak Cy has to be that person
"I have telekinetic abilities" And with that she concentrated on a plant pot Ella had placed by the porch stairs and willed it to fly past theainst the nearest tree
She took a little satisfaction in surprising Caia, her jaw dropping as the ceraround And then her face tightened orry and she turned back to Jaeden with growing panic in her eyes
"I think I knoho tried to kidnap you"
"I can’t believe this" Lucien ran his hand through his hair, tugging at the ends viciously "This is insane"
Caia couldn’t believe it either She had called Lucien out fro until they had gathered at Ryder’s apartment Caia had insisted Laila and Vil be present as well The six of the at each other, the at
"Caia, are you sure?"
She shook her head frantically "No, I’m not sure But Mordecai was very interested in Jaeden, and then I overheard hiedyour abilities in relation to the fact that the ‘children weren’t reacting in any way’"
"It’s true," Lucien added in a defeated voice
"And you think it’s because she knows about rily
"She has trace," Lucien replied
She has trace, yes, but not like mine She tapped into Jaeden’s trace to find out what she was up to – the illegal rogue hunting When there, she must have found out that Jaeden had telekinetic abilities because Ethan had tortured her
The mention of her trace, however,tabs on everyone close to me"
Ryder frowned "What do you mean?"
"She told me her trace isn’t like mine It’s not as advanced"
"There’s a surprise," Jaeden ly
"No, this is bad, people, very bad To find soht Marita has to tap into that person specifically She’ll be watchinghiuys"
Laila’s delicate eye brows puckered into a frown "What does this mean?"
"No!" Lucien shot out of his chair, his eyes filled orry "She knows!"
Caia had to fight with herself not to cry in frustration as she nodded jerkily
"What?" Ryder and Jaeden were panicking "What does she know?"
"We have to believe that Marita knows, through you two, about o to the Council," Caia explained "I can’t wait around for their next " She turned to Vil who suddenly looked flustered by the attention "Vil, you have to take me to Alfred Doukas now"
