The controversy surrounding Ace seemed like a lot of information to take in and the one surrounding Edward was even worse. Edward was by far more powerful and dangerous than Ace, probably why my father didn't have an issue with him hanging out with me. Ace on the other side seemed less powerful. Ace could be very irrational and my mind went back to the look on Matteo's face when he saw me in his house.
It was a look I didn't understand, one that scared me so much. Theo had shown me the library, it was at the very top of the house and contained more shelves than a normal library would. The books smelt old and dusty but I liked the smell. There were two couches, a beanbag, a desk, a piano, and a violin in the room. I walked to a shelf and pulled out a random classic, I blew dust off the cover, and I sneezed a few times because of the dust before looking at the titles.
"the wild cats of Exeter" I read out slowly.
