Chapter 23

I sat calmly at the bottom of the stairs watching the chaos commence in front of me.

I sighed rolling my eyes and looked down at the dagger in my hand, covered in blood. I took the piece of wet cloth I grabbed from the kitchen and started wiping the blood away. This dagger is too beautiful to be stained.

"I can't believe she killed him!" Tammy rambled in hysterics, "The council is going to ruin us. He was the son of an ancient one! What are we going to do now?"

"First, we have to get rid of the body and any traces of them being here. Then we'll decide what to do." Hunter said, pacing around the foyer, his hands clenching his hair in frustration. "That's exactly what we're going to do."

James and Talon sat by Dickson's body, staring at him with wide, unbelieving and fearful eyes and muttering, "We are going to die."

Rhodey was trailing after a frantic Tammy and Hunter, trying to calm them down.

I rolled my eyes and continued wiping the blade clean.
