"Get in here, now." Maya leaned out the door and practically dragged me inside by my collar as she closed the door- keeping Wylde outside, which seemed odd. But the sense of her fear was even more clear now that we were in front of each other.

She was hobbling towards her living area, beckoning me to follow.
When I spoke, she stopped suddenly, turning to look at me, and her eyes glowed in the half-light, because we were around the corner from the living area, and it seemed like she only had one lamp on in there.
"You truly don't know," she breathed. It wasn't a question.
I frowned. "No- you called for me. Wylde said you just wanted me to come right away. I was already awake because things have been difficult with Cazz and-"
Maya's breath caught and her hand came up to chest.
"Oh, dear girl."
