Prey
“She’d watched me unpack less than a day earlier, looking much happier than she did at the moment.
She pulled my punching pillow into her lap as if for comfort. But then I was almost amused to see her clench it in both fists, as if she might rip it in two. It was scary sometimes, how much she and I had in common. “What happened?” The tabby’s smooth, beautiful features were twisted in an odd combination of fear and irritation. “No one will tell me anything.”
“Marc’s been abducted, and he lost a l...ot of blood in the process.” I snatched my duffel from the floor of my closet and dropped it on the end of the bed, and when our eyes finally met, the shock in hers took me completely by surprise.
Maybe I shouldn’t have been quite so blunt. Was this one of those truths kids weren’t supposed to hear? What was I supposed to do, lie to her?
I was pretty sure that even if I tried to gloss over the facts, she’d see the truth in my eyes. Then she’d never trust me again.
I wanted to sink onto the bed next to Kaci and hug her.MoreLess
