Gabrielle has always been intrigued by this kind of stuff, but she was also pretty scared to cross that line,” Arielle remarked, adding, “Frankly, I’m really worried about her.”
“All right, then, I’ll start on this tomorrow,” Robert said.
Both girls hugged Robert gratefully at the door and thanked him for his willingness to help.
Chapter 6
T he next day, immediately after Arielle’s first class she went looking for Gabrielle, who was in the library with Marcus. They were sitting at a table, just looking at each other as if they were talking, but without saying anything. “Pretty crazy,” she thought as she approached them. Completely ignoring Marcus, she asked Gabrielle if she could stop by the flat that afternoon.
“Why?” Gabrielle asked.
“It’s my mother’s birthday. I’m making some preparations and I need your help,” Arielle said with a firm voice. She saw Gabrielle looking at Marcus as if for his approval, and that made Arielle cringe. Once again Arielle noticed that there was absolutely no expression on his face, and no emotional reflection in his eyes.
Arielle clenched her fists angrily, but decided not to say anything. She made a point of staring meaningfully at Gabrielle and waiting for her reply. She wasn’t going to take no for an answer, and Gabrielle must have understood that clearly because suddenly she agreed that she would come over later.
Arielle walked away, furious with Marcus and wishing that his thoughts were not sealed off from her head. It would have been much easier to get to the bottom of this if she could read his mind!
This whole affair had begun to feel a bit like déjà vu for Arielle. The way Gabrielle was behaving reminded her of Eva and what she had been like when she had been all wrapped up with the spells and the magic books, right after her father had passed away. It was clear that Gabrielle was spending a lot of time with Marcus, and that school was not her priority anymore.
It seemed to Arielle that Gabrielle’s control over her life was unraveling and dissolving. She and Eva began to feel that they didn’t even really know her anymore.
They were sitting in the living room in complete silence, waiting for Gabrielle to arrive and thinking of all the things they needed to discuss.
“Arielle, I think he is deeply involved with dark witchcraft,” Eva said. “He fits the profile that I have read about in the spell books. And if I’m right about this, Gabrielle is in danger.” She pressed her lips together, feeling a tremor course through her body. She reached over and took Arielle’s hand in hers, and their gaze locked. “Thank you for being there when I needed you,” Eva murmured. For a moment they simply sat, looking at each other. “And now we have to save Gabby,” she added. Arielle smiled warmly and nodded, squeezing Eva’s hand.
Not too surprisingly, Gabrielle was late, but she did show up before they began to worry about her. She looked startled at the serious tone of Eva’s voice when she asked her to sit down.
“What’s wrong?” Gabrielle asked. She sounded only slightly worried, but she also sounded like she was trying to hide her true feelings.
“Gabby, there is something bad going on with Marcus and you are getting sucked into a very unsafe and very treacherous life,” Arielle said. “You aren’t going anywhere until we get some answers from you. You know that Eva can see the future, and she sees that Marcus’s thoughts are dark, and his eyes are colder than anything we have ever felt. I don’t know what death feels like, but if I had to compare it to something, that would be Marcus.”
Gabrielle pursed her lips and looked away from them, she didn’t seem to want to say anything. But Arielle could hear her thoughts, and they were very cloudy. She could see that Gabrielle was scared, but something was pushing her to continue with whatever it was she was doing.
“I’m not sure I can talk about this,” she
