Part 9

Yanna lay awake, unable to sleep. She normally went into Malachite's room if she couldn't and snuggled up with him. She couldn't even go into his room at the moment, for one thing he'd locked the door on her.

At least Ara's music had gone off. She'd tried calling Circle Daybreak, they hadn't been able to tell her much about Ara she didn't already know.

A wayward vampire who didn't fit in anywhere wanted somewhere to belong to. They didn't mention Malachite at all.

He was supposed to be her soulmate. He was supposed to be able to *trust* her. She'd been over and over this in her head. None of her housemates seemed to want to know.

Sivan wasn't around much, and Lena was just happy to just stick with her if something's wrong it's Malachite's fault theory. This was getting extremely annoying.

She didn't want either Malachite or Ara to end up hurting each other. That wasn't the point of Daybreak safehouses. They should be together and work out their differences.

Yanna smiled dryly at the ceiling. Even she knew that was a wistful thought. She was tired of musing endlessly. The witch she'd spoken to had given her one name that could help. Chimalais Neptune. Fancy. How this person could help, she hadn't figured out yet.

She wanted to meet this person without anyone else figuring out what she was up to. She didn't want to bring anymore problems into the house.

She wanted answers, and if Malachite wouldn't given them to her himself, she would just have to find them on her own, even if it was dangerous.
