would much rather that he was only Rejon’s only target.
“We won’t just sit back and do nothing,” I say to him .
He gives me a look that says he is grateful.
Then his face turns regretful again.
He sits down on my bed.
This is his battle, he tells us. He will find Rejon himself.
There is no use in all of us getting killed.
Angelica argues with him again. He is being stupid. No one can stop Rejon alone; he has hundreds of followers and amazing powers.
He takes a deep breath and repeats, this is his battle.
I am suddenly terrified of losing him.
He is everything to me. I couldn’t bear it.
Angelica looks at him suspiciously, “Why are you so keen to do this alone?”
He states the obvious. He doesn’t want us getting hurt.
“Are you sure that’s it?” Angelica asks in an accusing tone . “Or is it that you know you won’t get hurt. Are you Rejon, Danny? I’ve been getting awfully near to tracking him lately. Is this supposed ‘threat’ a ploy to take suspicion off yourself, so I won’t find you out?”
I can’t believe she would say that.
Evidently Daniel can’t either.
His voice is quiet but you can hear how much her accusation has hurt him, “Angelica, I am afraid for my life here. Could you please put your paranoia behind you, just for once, and be my sister again. I kinda need her right now.”
She doesn’t answer for a moment.
Then she sits down beside him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
She has a plan, for tonight at least.
Daniel can sleep in her bed. She will sleep in Daniel’s room.
This way if Rejon comes tonight he won’t find Daniel in the obvious place.
If Rejon comes she fully plans to kill him.
She begins packing an overnight bag.
No matter how much Daniel argues she won’t take no for an answer.
He finally resigns himself to the fact that her mind is made up, “What are you going to tell Greg Harshaw?”
I remember now that he’s Daniels room-mate. Angelica just arriving in for the night probably would be a surprise for him.
She just giggles, “I don’t think he will be too upset to see me.”
Daniel and I glance at each other. Perhaps this is a case of the less we know the better.
She leaves, telling Daniel to be careful.
The look in her eyes says a lot. She obviously still cares deeply about her brother.
“Wow, that was strange,” he remarks when she’s gone. “She didn’t even accuse you of being Rejon! She just left me with you . . . It’s like she trusts you completely. She doesn’t even trust me ! What did you do that I didn’t?”
I tell him that I have no idea why she trusts me.
I couldn’t even answer her question about how I woke up during Nate’s spell.
Yet she seems to trust me completely.
Maybe, despite everything, she knows that we’re friends.
This realisation makes me laugh softly. She is, indeed, a very quirky girl.
Daniel gives me a heart-melting smile now. He tells me that I have a cute laugh.
With that I suddenly become very aware that we are alone.
We are alone for the whole night.
This makes me begin to giggle nervously.
He pulls me close and kisses me.
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the feeling of being helplessly absorbed by him.
I love it.
I really wish we could just do this all day.
I find myself wishing that we could do more.
My phone begins ringing.
Daniel pulls away briefly and tells me that I should answer it.
I ignore this and kiss him again.
He is all I want in this whole world. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.
The phone doesn’t quit ringing.
In the end I have to answer it.
It’s my Mom. She thinks that we left things on a bad note earlier.
She thinks I should really talk to her now.
She wants to know that I’m alright with everything.
“Oh yeah sure, I’m fine with it,” I assure her, wanting to get back to Daniel.
This doesn’t satisfy her. She knows me too well.
I’m hiding my feelings again, she
