Hours had passed while I waited on my bed for the voice that I knew would eventually speak.
When I heard Storm's voice, I went downstairs. Storm finally realized Tinley was gone much faster than I had anticipated.
The following several seconds would be very important.
There was more than just me when I entered Storm's living room. Basically, the entire house was affected. Erica and I were seated together. In the improvised circle that had formed adjacent to Indigo and Fleur, Noelani was curled up beside me. The color of Indigo's hair was terrible, and her eyes appeared to be blood red. Ronan made it clear that he didn't want to be there by standing at the extreme edge of the circle, far from everyone else. While their godmother and Indigo's godfather were huddled together in a corner, Willow was seated next to the maids.
At the center of it all was Storm. Storm was incensed. Storm was incensed. It absolutely terrified me.
