Chapter 49

There was no way Queen Vivian was a good person with people being deported to detention camps. But I couldn’t dwell on that, since the thought of seeing the suicide and person being shot remained burned in my mind. Those deaths were more to add to the gruesome encounters list.

“I’m sorry Anastasia couldn’t make it, Raquel,” I said, turning my head.

Raquel sighed. “I don’t think we’re ready for a group hangout yet.”

“She seemed nice for the few moments that I saw her at the masked ball,” Stefan said. “Although I can’t vouch for her, since I don’t know her like Vivian does.”

Wow. So much for thinking Stefan’s past would never resurface. Running away from home when he was a kid meant he hadn’t spent much time with Anastasia. His younger sister was a stranger.

“She’s more than a little nice.” Raquel averted her gaze to the stadium—the pounding of drums meant the match was about to begin.
