章 213: CHAPTER 213 Who's To Blame?

　　~ JESSE ~

　　I sat in my chambers for hours, miserable and waiting, the weight of it all bearing down harder and harder as I thought about all the ins and outs of this- and Rake either affirmed my fears, or added even more to the picture.

　　At one point there was a shocking wave of Cazz's power that terrified me- was he fighting for his life like Rake had said? Everyone in the palace had to have felt that if I could.

　　I leaped out of my chair, but Rake caught me and made me stay in place.

　　"What are you going to do, Jesse? For real- think it through. If he's having to fight, you're only going to distract him, or create more complication. Just sit down and wait. He'll tell us when he can focus.

　　But even Rake looked nervous and kept glancing towards the door. And there was… nothing. Nothing from Cazz. No new surge of power.
