"You will train with Dorian every other day On days you are not with hi with us" Holly walked over to the fireplace She reached her hands towards the dying flames They reared up and licked the sides of the hearth
"When do you plan to strike?" I fistedinto my paler
"We strike in five days’ tih, and the vampires are at their weakest You, however, will strike once Mr Hade teaches you what to do" She walked back to her desk and sat in the large leather chair Holly gave Dorian a threatening look that I didn’t understand
"What exactly a?" I kneasn’t smart to question a council member, but I couldn’t help it, I had to knoould happen
"You’ll raise the dead" Two pairs of eyes watched me with uncertainty while my stomach dropped and a lump formed in my throat
"Why--what--how does that help?" I stumbled over the words as a flood of questions bombarded my mind "Like zombies?" My eyes volleyed between Dorian and Holly
Holly laughed "No, not zombies I should rephrase You’ll raise spirits I have soldiers out collecting the blood of our targets and your job is to raise all of the people they’ve killed and direct them to attack their killers" An evil smile spread across Holly’s lips

"They are simple witches, Gwen You hold a power they could never possess, and when I’ you, you’ll be the one who’s envied" Dorian walked so that he was facing rayness rolled within theray, no pupil to break up the churning gloo chocolate locks brushed his shoulders His t-shirt clung tautly to his body and the black leather coat fit like a glove There was so entirely too long when my eyes fell to his lips and saw the smirk on them Blood rushed to my cheeks and warmed my face "I don’t want to be envied All I want is to be left alone" I said with frustration and then headed up to my bedroom
"Gwen?" Dorian called from the bottom of the steps I turned around and stared at his mischievous smirk with annoyance, "What?"
"Sweet Drea a small cardboard box sat on my dresser I hadn’t noticed it before I showered and dressed Walking over to inspect it further, I saw a letter next to it Gwen, do not open until your ht--Holly
I crumpled the letter and threw it away, not interested in whatever was in the box My day ide open; I wasn’t practicing with Kye any was open except for a few restaurants
