Femke took a few minutes to whisper some hasty instructions to a harried older witch while Charlotte paced back and forth behind her brother. Before I could stop myself by thinking about it too much, I opened my power and called out to the one person I needed in on this the most.
I just hoped she wasn't still pissed at me.
Sunny. Her mind latched onto mine in an instant.
Syd, she sent, softly desperate. I just heard about Yana. Where are you?
Femke's, I sent, relief flooding me. Hong Kong. Can you come?
The beautiful vampire queen-and she would always be queen to me-hesitated.
I have no standing any longer, she sent. I might only hinder you.
Bull pucky, I sent. We need you.
