He shook his head. "The guardians who came to kill them. I mean, my parents were scary, yeah, but they still looked like my parents—a little paler, I guess. Some red in their eyes. But they walked and talked the same way. I didn't know anything was wrong with them, but my aunt did. She was watching me when they came for me.” "Were they going to convert you?" I'd forgotten my original mission here, too caught up in the story. "You were really little.” "I think they were going to keep me until I was older, then turn me. Aunt Tasha wouldn't let them take me. They tried to reason with her, convert her too, but when she wouldn't listen, they tried to take her by force. She fought them—got really messed up—and then the guardians showed up." His eyes drifted back to me. He smiled, but there was no happiness in it. "Like I said, an army of Death. I think you're crazy, Rose, but if you turn out like the rest of them, you're going to be able to do some serious damage one day. Even I won't mess with you.” I felt horrible. He'd had a miserable life, and I'd taken away one of the few good things in it. "Christian, I'm sorry for screwing things up between you and Lissa. It was stupid. She wanted to be with you. I think she still does now. If you could just—” "I told you, I can't.” "I'm worried about her. She's into all this royal stuff because she thinks it's going to get back at Mia—she's doing it for me.” "And you aren't grateful?" The sarcasm returned. "I'm worried. She can't handle playing all these catty political games. It isn't good for her, but she won't listen to me. I could…I could use help.” "She could use help. Hey, don't look so surprised—I know there's something funny going on with her. And I'm not even talking about the wrist thing.” I jumped. "Did she tell you?…" Why not? She'd told him everything else. "She didn't need to," he said. "I've got eyes." I must have looked pathetic, because he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Look, if I catch Lissa alone…I'll try to talk to her. But honestly…if you really want to help her…well, I know I'm supposed to be all anti-
establishment, but you might get the best help talking to somebody else. Kirova. Your guardian guy. I don't know. Someone who knows something. Someone you trust.” "Lissa wouldn't like that." I considered. "Neither would I.” "Yeah, well, we all have to do things we don't like. That's life.” My snarky switch flipped on. "What are you, an after-school special?” A ghostly smile flickered across his face. "If you weren't so psychotic, you'd be fun to hang around.” "Funny, I feel that way about you too.” He didn't say anything else, but the smile grew, and he walked away.
