Part 4
"I'm rally worried about Cayla," Thea said to Hannah the following morning. Thierry wasn't around at the moment with important Council business so Hannah was left in charge with the Daybreakers at the mansion.
"Is she the girl who's having problems with her soulmate?" Hannah looked kind of odd sat in Thierry's large swivelly office chair, behind his large highly polished oak desk in a blue bikini top and Hawaiian shorts.
Thea nodded. "Yeah, he's a vampire, and she's a werewolf. Something has made him turn his back on her. Maggie's having a fit." She smiled faintly. She couldn't understand why Maggie was taking this so personally. As far as she knew, Maggie didn't know Cayla all that well, none of them did. So what was the big deal?
"One loyal soulmate wants to help out a couple with problems," Hannah said with a smile. "It's not *that* weird."
"I know, I know, but - I'm still worried." Thea didn't know how Cayla could stand her soulmate wanting someone else. She knew she certainly wouldn't be able to cope if that ever happened to her. She would do everything in her power to get him back. That scared her. She'd done magic before she shouldn't have been able to do, called and sent a spirit back from Beyond the Veil. Imagine what she could do if she was pissed off and let the power just ride. Thank the goddess Eric loved her more than life itself.
"I'm not exactly sure what it is you're expecting me to do here," Hannah said. "I do understand you're concern."
Thea managed a weak smile. "It's just - I think maybe we should keep an eye on her. She could probably use a friend who doesn't have a soulmate, or someone who this has happened to."
Hannah was silent a few seconds while she thought, then nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
Thea nodded and stood up, leaving the office. She was surprised to run into Cayla coming down the staircase. Cayla had a very odd look on her face for someone who had been rejected by her own soulmate. Almost - too serene. Thea didn't understand.
Was she over reacting about this soulmate problem? Maybe Cayla could handle it better than everyone seemed to think. "Oh, sorry, didn't see you there, are you okay?"
Cayla's smile was strange. "I'm fine. Kind of hungry, I need a snack." She walked away in the direction of the kitchen.
Thea couldn't help thinking something wasn't quite right there.
