Chapter 22

Twyla went up to the roof of the Tree Tower with a new cup of hot chocolate after the meeting. Aja, Hunter, and Lupin all had duties to take care of so Twyla was alone. She sat on a branch that had grown into a bench and gazed at the forest. She sipped her hot chocolate and thought about her situation. Again. What could she do now? What were her options? She really needed to know what Hunter's plan was. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe it would actually be a good plan. Maybe he did actually care about her. Her necklace was warm against her body. It helped soothe her. Hunter's action spoke to his good nature. He had saved her from those vampires. He had saved her from Silver. He had taken care of her. Protected her. Made sure she had Iynx when he couldn't be there.
