“What did you see?” he asks, and I blink at him in bewilderment.
“Too much.”
TWENTY-EIGHT
RAVEN
Eldon reappeared at the end of class and told me all about his vision. A vision I have so many questions about, but I’ve had to keep them to myself while we’ve gone from class to class. Now that it’s lunchtime, I have them all noted in my mind and I’m ready to pepper him with them.
I hope I don’t overwhelm him, but the pointed look he’s been giving me ever since tells me he knows and is ready for it.
As if sensing exactly what I’m thinking about, he’s at my side when the class is called to an end and we all gather our things.
“Are your questions categorized, or is it going to be a free-for-all?” he asks with a quirked brow and a grin on his face.
Fucker.
“Telling you would give you a heads up and I like keeping you on your toes,” I retort, sticking my tongue out for good measure, and he shakes his head at me with a chuckle.
“What’s your first one?”
Well, now he’s putting me on the spot, but really, it’s simple. “What do you think it means?”
He drapes his arm around my shoulder and sighs. “Honestly, I don’t know. It feels like the vision was more about the location than a narrative underneath. Which is different. They’re usuallytrying to send me a message, and if that’s the case now, I can’t see it. Which is annoying as hell.”
“Maybe once we’ve talked it through, it might become a little clearer,” I offer, and he smiles.
“That’s what I’m hoping for, Little Bird.” He kisses the top of my head for the briefest moment as the others join us.
Zane silently reaches for my hand, we all head out into the hallway with Brax up front and Creed a step behind.
“Raven.”
I freeze in place, blocking the path of everyone around me, but it’s unavoidable.
“Ari? Is everything okay?”
“Figgins is looking for you. Go with her.”
“Why, what’s going on?”I wait a few seconds, but he doesn’t respond.“Ari?”Still nothing.
Fuck.
“Raven?” My name on Creed’s lips pulls me from my head and I sigh as we step to the side so we’re not blocking everyone’s path.
“It’s Ari. Figgins is looking for me and he wants me to go with her.”
“Why?” Zane asks, and I shake my head.
“I don’t know. I asked, and he stopped responding.”
“And it would definitely be Ari?” Brax clarifies, and I nod.
“It has to be. No one else has ever communicated with me like that before.”It wouldn’t be a possibility for someone else to do it… would it?Shaking my head and clearing my thoughts, I focus on my guys.
“Then we’ll all go,” Eldon declares, pressing a kiss to my temple this time.
“What about Leila?” I ask, and Brax nods in her direction, where she’s cradled under Grave’s arm as he guides her toward the dining hall.
