Alchemy of Chaos

	Sashi runs down the crowded hall towards me. I instinctively search for a way out, a hidden door I can dive into, just so I can avoid him. I made such a fucking mistake, last night. Shouldn't have said a word about trying to compel Professor King, shouldn't have told Sashi I can actually compel other Sanguinaires. Now, he won't shut up about it, and absolutely no one else must know. Especially Ezra King, who is a Sanguinaire and was compelled before.


	I fail to elude him, Sashi catches up with me as if he actually flew over the maggots of students piling around. It's raining cats and dogs outside, and no one dares venture the deluge. Not when there's plenty of spots to hang around inside the old château.


	"Cass," he starts, green eyes trying to catch mine. "Come on, you can't tell me what you did and revert to silence."
