ZoeyI woke up to the sound of my alarm, and Bri and Sadie groaned, pulling the covers over their heads. I chuckled to myself as I slipped on my clothes, thankful neither had gone furry in the night. I went down to the scullery to make two coffees and a tea, and set them on the table as I watched each of their eyes open and peer at me from over the covers.“Time to get up, ladies!” I announced, and they tossed back the down comforter and groggily moved to the table. Bri had worn a t-shirt and boy shorts to bed, and Sadie wore leggings and a tank top. They each sat and took their respective drinks before they said a word.“Do I want to know what today’s lineup is?” Bri asked irritably.“Probably not, but I’m going to tell you anyway.”“Breakfast with the Priest of the West Coast.” Bri leaned her head back and stared at the ceiling.“Please tell me he didn’t bring his fuck toy again?”“He came alone.”“Thank fuck.” Bri answered, before taking a long sip.“You have grievances with three

SladeSecrets. She undoubtedly had many. Was it a risk I was willing to take? I took another bite as everyone watched me, but Brianna dug into her grits before taking a swig of coffee and peered at me from over the mug. The two men of her inner court sat back and turned their attention to her, their brows furrowed. The look she gave them said ‘don’t question me.’So, only Brianna knew what she was going for this morning. Neither her advisor, nor her ambassadors, had a clue what she was planning on doing. The human girl bit her lip. She knew.Brianna set her cup down and took another bite as she found her food more interesting than my long hesitation. I mulled it over, what would I gain spreading the High Priestess' secrets? Probably death. Better I not tell, or I tell, and she rips me limb from limb, or her enemies would kill me anyway.“I agree,” was all I said, going back to my food. That's when a presence took over me. It was inky and bright all at once, as it filtered past every w
