said.
"We want to talk to you, Z," Damien said.
"And we're glad to see she's leaving," Shaunee said, glaring at Aphrodite.
"Yeah, don't let the door hit your skinny ass on the way out," Erin said.
I saw the hurt that flashed across Aphrodite's face. "Fine. I'm out of here," she
"Aphrodite, you're not going anywhere." I had to wait till the Twins got over
making sputtering sounds of disbelief before I could go on. "Nyx is working strongly in
Aphrodite's life. Do you trust Nyx's judgment?" I asked, looking at each of my friends.
"Yes, of course we do," Damien spoke for all of them.
"Then you're gonna have to accept Aphrodite as one of us," I said.
There was a long pause during which the Twins, Jack, and Damien all shared
looks, and then Damien finally said, "I suppose we do have to admit that Aphrodite is
special to Nyx, but the honest truth is none of us trust her."
"I trust her," I said. Okay, maybe I didn't trust her one hundred percent, but Nyx
was working through her.
"Which is ironic, because we're having trust issues with you," Shaunee said.
"Nerd herd, you make no damn sense," Aphrodite said. "In one breath, you're all
'Oh, yes! We trust Nyx!' and in the next you're saying you have trust issues with Zoey.
Zoey is the fledgling. No one—vamp or fledgling—has ever been so gifted by Nyx. Get a
clue, would ya?" Aphrodite rolled her eyes.
"Aphrodite may have a point," Damien said into the stunned silence.
"No shit?" Aphrodite said sarcastically. "Here's another newsflash for the herd of
nerd—my latest vision is of Zoey being killed and the world being thrown into total
chaos because of it. And guess who was responsible for your supposed friend's murder?"
She paused, raising her brows at Damien and the Twins before answering her own
question. "You all are. Zoey's killed because you guys turn your backs on her."
"She had a vision of your death?" Damien asked me. His face had suddenly gone
very white.
"Yeah, two actually. But the visions were pretty messed up. She saw them from
my point of view, which was kinda nasty. Anyway, I just have to stay away from water
and—" My words broke off as I almost said and Neferet. Thankfully, Aphrodite chimed
in.
"—She has to stay away from water, and she can't be isolated," she said. "Which
means you guys need to kiss and make up. But wait till I'm not watching, 'cause it's
definitely going to make me sick."
"You pissed us off, Z," Shaunee said, looking almost as pale as Damien.
"But we don't want you to die," Erin finished, looking equally upset.
