I stopped and stared in shocked silence.
Aiko and Suiko's mom was a witch? A century old witch? Which meant that they're also...
My head spun. I could never get used to or make complete sense of any of this.
"So, why do you need to find her exactly? I mean, if no one has seen her for almost a century, then don't you think she could be dead?"
"She is not dead." Roman said, and I raised a questioning brow at him.
"How do you know that?"
"Because we have proof that her heart remains beating."
I didn't ask any further questions about that because I just knew it was probably something supernatural. Something I would not be able to understand even if he explained.
"Okay. So, why is it so important to find her?" I asked instead.
Roman turned his head to hold Vasilis's gaze, and something cold and silent passed between them. Like a silent mutual agreement of some sort.
