Part 6
Viola sighed, wondering how she was going to get Taylor to notice her. He seemed to be avoiding her. She couldn't understand why he was distant.
He had seemed so nice and friendly when she'd met him last night. Was something about *her* not right? She shuddered. If that were the case...
But Coral had told her Taylor was Nerissa's human pet. He didn't know anything about the Night World. Viola couldn't imagine him the type to meekly agree to being a Night Person's slave.
She wasn't much for conversation at lunch. She was trying to ignore Nerissa as she hung over Taylor. It was deliberate display that she refused to watch.
As her eyes roved over the crowds of students sitting on the wide spread of soft green grass outside the school she spotted two stunning girls wandering around.
"Hey, check them out," Morpheus Redfern's voice broke into her thoughts.
One girl was tall, dark and gorgeous, muscular for a girl. The other looked like a fairytale princess, her skin the colour of the camellia flower.
"Are they relatives of yours?" Nerissa was asking Viola.
Viola forced herself to look away. It couldn't be. How had they found her so fast? If they knew, they would tell Aubrey and he would hunt her down and take her back to the enclave he'd kept her prisoner in...
"Well? Do you know them or not?" Nerissa asked, slightly impatient.
Viola shook her head. "No," she muttered, lying. She stood up, gathering her books and purse. "Excuse me."
She ran before they could ask her anymore questions. She couldn't tell anyone what was really going on. How could she trust they weren't spies for Aubrey like Bellona and Camilla?
She shuddered.
She wouldn't let the, get her.
She was *not* going to be a prisoner again.
