I looked back at Raven. She seemed so happy about being invited to a party. Who was I to freak out about it? I mean, that crazy vamp encounter happened when I was a kid. I was sure they weren't hiding chained up humans in the basement. Probably.
"Alright everyone, that's enough excitement for tonight," Dr. Green called out.
I turned to see him coming out of the dorms. I didn't even know he was in there. My brow furrowed. He must have gone in to check out the fire alarm.
Professor Halifax walked out behind him, her chin high and her sharp eyes darting around at all the gathered students.
"You may go back to your rooms," Dr. Green said. "Except for Raven Winters."
"What do you think happened?" she asked, looking up at me.
My chest tightened as I noticed the flicker of fear in her bright green eyes. "I don't know."
She took a deep breath and blew it out. "I really wish we were back in your room right now."
I groaned, unable to control myself. "So do I."
"Raincheck?" she asked.
"Any time. Any place." I was trying to be playful, but I meant it. I was so ready to finish what we started.
Dr. Green walked toward us as the students around us darted toward the door. I glanced down at Raven, who had to be freezing. Her nipples were showing through her white shirt. Fuck. I didn't grab her bra on her way out. I wished I had my sweater but giving her a tee shirt wasn't going to do much good.
"Ms. Winters," Dr. Green said. "Sorry to interrupt your evening plans, but I'm afraid we have to have a chat."
"What happened?" she asked.
Dr. Green glanced over at me, then back at Raven.
"You might as well just say it," she said. "I'll tell him whatever it is anyway."
Dr. Green frowned. "Fine. The alarm that went off was set off by someone inside the demon dorm manually."
"Sounds like someone pulling a prank," I said.
Dr. Green shook his head. "Professor Halifax couldn't match the magic with any species of supernatural we have on campus. It came back as fae magic."
My brow furrowed. "Isn't Professor Halifax fae?" I asked. It had never been said out loud but that was the only explanation for her appearance and her abilities.
Dr. Green cocked an eyebrow. "Are you suggesting one of our faculty came into a student dorm and pulled the fire alarm?"
My face heated. "No, that doesn't make any sense."
"I don't understand what all this has to do with me," Raven said.
Dr. Green sighed. "We have reports of several more government officials who have been found dead, all their magic drained. One of them was fae."
Raven looked like she'd seen a ghost. Her already pale features washed out completely. She honestly looked like she was going to throw up.
"Raven?" I asked.
"You're saying the thief was here, aren't you?" Raven asked, finally.
"It can't be," I said. "How would she get in? Don't you have security at this school?"
"Watch your tone, Mr. Drake."
I pressed my lips into an angry line. They were supposed to be protecting Raven, not letting the crazy Thief who was trying to kill her gain entry to our school. This place was supposed to be the best there was.
