Chapter 12

Once Ana finally hurries up and puts on the clothes I gave her, we head out. I can just picture Loki's face when I dragged Ana out the door without so much as a goodbye hug. I grin. It's for Ana's benefit. Loki always likes to chase girls and Ana isn't going to be another hit and run for him. I won't let it happen. I've seen too many girls get hurt. This time I will play him at his own game. As we make our way down through the hotel corridor, Ana looks around amazed at all the red roses and pink tulips filling every white table. The scent of candles drifts through the air, which is one of the many reasons I love this place. It smells like home.

Not that I remember much about home. I only visit once a year to see my mum and dad. I have to be a totally different person as we live right next to the castle. We may as well live inside we are so close. My parents are the councillors of The Fallen. They have to attend meetings with the King and Queen nearly everyday and I used to tag along. That's how I met Loki. We used to sit at the back of the stuffy room making jokes and winding each other up. We were only ten.

"Wow! Is that your car?" Ana walks toward the pink convertible Mini, parked along the pavement.

"Yeah, cool isn't it?" I jump up and down, joining Ana. The other part about being a councillors daughter - we're filthy rich.

"I can't wait to ride in it." Ana's face is filled with excitement as I open the door and jump in myself. As I start up the engine we travel down the highway through the middle of the city.

"So what's up with you and Loki?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows.

"Huh?" Ana snaps her head around.

"You and Loki?" I laugh.

"Oh that. I just want to forget about what happened last night in the bookshop." She shakes her head.

"What happened in the bookshop?" I ask.

I know what happened but Loki said not to give too much information away. We can't tell her who we are or what our purpose is. Come on, she'll go crackers!

"Yes, Rebecca was a monster." Ana looks at me with those wary eyes and I look away concentrating on the road.

"Look Ana, in our world that's nothing. Just try and forget." I shrug and beep at the stupid moron pulling out in front of me. He puts up his middle finger as he turns around to glare at me. As he turns his head I see his eyes. Dark red.

Shit! I pull over quickly as the truck with the red eyed guy swerves into the traffic and out of sight.

"I've just gotta make a quick call." I slam the car door shut with not even a word from Ana. Quickly, I dial Loki's number and he answers on the second ring.

"Where are you?" He demands.

"Yelling at me will get you nowhere." I reply grinning, knowing that I'm winding him up.

"Tell me where you are. Are you with Ana?" His tone is one not to be messed with but that doesn't stop me.

"I've seen The Unwanted." I whisper and suddenly his voice changes.

"Then get back here, are you crazy?" What is it with guys telling me what to do today?

"Look, I'm staying low, there might be thousands." I hear Loki sigh on the other end and I wait for his answer.

"Alright, but I'm joining you. Meet you in ten." He hangs up. Delightful.
