She was tall and thin, with high cheekbones. And her ears were just as pointed as Professor Halifax's.
"She was fae?" I asked.
The professor stood. "She was. Which is why none of their weapons could hold her. I didn't have a choice."
I was surrounded now by guards who quickly moved to the body.
"So it's over, then?" Ben asked.
"I guess so," I said.
"Professor Halifax," Dr. Green called. "You'll need to come to my office. I'm sure the authorities will have a lot of questions for you."
"Did she kill her?" Ben asked.
"Yes," I said.
"The thief looks fae," Luka said.
"Apparently she was," I said.
"That explains why they couldn't hold her," he said.
"I'm glad she's dead," Ben said. "She can't hurt you anymore."
He pulled me into an embrace and kissed the top of my head. "You're safe now."
I took a deep breath, trying to let myself feel safe but it wouldn't come. I couldn't help but think there was more to this story. Maybe I needed some time.
"I'm sorry I ruined your night," I said to Ben.
"Are you kidding?" He kissed my head again. "I don't care what happens as long as you're safe."
Suddenly, another set of arms wrapped around me. I didn't even need to see him to know it was Luka.
Ben grunted as Luka squeezed harder.
"We're doing group hugs now?" Zach called as he crashed into us.
I laughed as the three of them squeezed me. I didn't get the night I expected, but this was a pretty good way to end it.
