Understanding dawned in his eyes "Man, I was curious Every Luxen comes in threes"

I nodded "But if it’s really her--and I’m pretty sure it’s her--what does thatthe TV re it "How close were Dawson and Bethany?"

Then it hit me It all seemed so clear The walls tilted a little as panic punched a hole in my chest "Oh my God, Dawson had healed Bethany That’s what everyone thinks That she got hurt soed--ht?"

Blake nodded "Oh, man…"

"And I bet Bethany is a nicknairl look like--the one who told you about the DOD named Liz?"

His brows rose "She had brown hair, a little darker than yours Kind of sharp features, but really pretty"

It all started to click together "This is insane Hoould the DOD have known about her? She and Dawson disappeared just a couple of days after whatever happened between them, unless…unless someone who suspected that Bethany had been healed told the DOD" My stomach tumbled over as I pulled my hair back into a messy twist "Who would do that? One of the Luxen?"

"I don’t knoouldn’t put it past the DOD to have Luxen who are the eyes and ears for the his brow "Man, that sucks"

Suck didn’t even cover it That meant someone close to the Blacks had er whipped through me I turned just as the curtains billowed out as if a rush of air had entered the rooh the living roo

"Whoa, sihing, I picked up the books and azines now scattered around the rooh what I’d discovered "If the DOD has Beth, then what did they do with Dawson? Do you think he’s still alive?"

Hope sparked with that idea If Daas alive, that would… It would be like e Daee for the better They’d be a faHoonderful it would be for him to still be alive, but Katy, the DOD doesn’t want Dawson They wanted Bethany And they’d do anything to get control of mutated humans If the DOD told his family he was dead…"

"But you don’t know if they told the truth," I protested

"Why would they keep him alive, Katy? If that really is Liz--Beth--then they have what they want Daould be dead"

I couldn’t believe that There was a chance he was alive, and there was no way I could live withDaemon and Dee

"Katy, he can’t be alive They are ruthless," he persisted, and his grip tightened on ht?" He shook edness, I liftedin his, a quality that was slightly off and scary, like when he’d sh my veins

"Yeah, I understand It probably wasn’t even her" I sed, forcing a s me"

He blinked and then seeo and choked out a laugh "I’ let down Or doing so my arm, I backed up "And what could I do, anyway? I’d never tell Daemon or Dee if I wasn’t sure"

Relieved, he s, I dropped the subject and hoped Blake forgot about it Our training consisted of freezing things, and as soon as he left, I rushed to grab ht, but I texted Daemon anyway

Can u coain

This is i to feel like I was one of those psychotic girlfriends who texted the crap out of guys until they responded Da, I sent him one more text

Its abt Dawson

Not even a minute later, I felt the rush of war, I answered the door "Daemon…" My words died off and my eyes widened I ain

It had to be below thirty degrees outside, but he was standing in front of lorious, perfectly forotten what he’d looked like shirtless, but my memory had not served him one bit of justice

Daemon stepped inside, eyes wide and lu What if telling hi up Daemon’s life even more Maybe I should’ve listened to Blake
