Demetri appeared on the fire escape while I was standing at my closet in a bra and slip. He pushed the bedroom window open, and the lock popped off to ping against the floor.

"You found me," I said.

"Don't be an idiot."

"I'd hoped I wasn't important enough for Aro to send you."

"You're one of two humans who know of the Volturi." He stalked toward me, and I closed my eyes for the blow. "Here," he said, shoving a plane ticket in my hand. "Get dressed."

I blinked back into the world. "Aro wants me alive?"

"For now."
