Chapter 2
Rains POV
"You're serious Bella?" I said.
"Yes." she said "She was prepared to let Kian die for her pride."
I laughed. "This isn't funny," she snapped. "I think something else is going on."
I raised an eyebrow. "Really? She's Nyx's high priestess."
"That doesn't mean anything." she said.
"No...Its means she serves Nyx. There must have been some other..."
"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you!" she said, exasperated.
"...Reason why she would have done that. Perhaps Nyx is rejecting Kian." I said, with a shrug.
"Oh, come on!" she replied with an eye roll. "She marked him!"
"She could be wishing that she didn't." I pointed out. "Look at it this way, Bella. You can't afford to make any more enemies. Who knows what Aelia could do if she found out you knew something you shouldn't. Who's saying that Jake is gonna forgive you for re-falling-in-love with a vampire with and I. And Victoria? She's on the loose, still hunting you. Aelia could deliberately let her into the house of night to kill you."
I sighed. "Your right."
"As always." I sighed. "Take my advice, Bella. When you feel better about all this...apologize to Aelia...especially for breaking her door down." she looked amused.
"Oh, hell." She muttered.
I laughed. "She doesn't have a TV!"
"Or any piece of 21st century technology, as far as I can see." she sighed "That doesn't really excuse me for breaking her door down...Oh, hell. I wonder if I'll even be welcome in the house of night after this...maybe they'll exile me to."
"I doubt it." I said "Kian had it coming. Esther Bowen driving was him crazy. A few more days and the whole of the coven would have had them exiled anyway. You just sped things up...I don't think anyone hates you for exiling Kian...since it got rid of Esther too."
"Tell me something I don't know."
I laughed. "Myself included, Bella. Make up with Aelia. It'll be easier then.
Rileys POV
I stepped forward towards the figures in cloaks and held out my hand. The one in the centre touched it briefly and then leapt back.
"Thank you for informing us of this matter, young one." he said.
Victoria's POV
Riley would tell them about them, and then my plan would begin when they came. Of course, Alice would see there decision and would come running to them and tell them what was going on.
Ruby Wells stood in front of me. Of course, I suspected Ruby Well's wasn't her real name. But it hardly mattered...Both Ruby and Kian were just tools.
"Just get me something." I snapped "And you can have it...ok?"
Ruby nodded and disapeered.
