“I can never come back.”
“Don’t say that.”
“You know what I saw, Gabs. All those years. The nightmares. You know why I had them.”
She nodded. There was still that little smug lingering on her lips. I didn’t understand it.
“I was her.”
“Makes a lot of sense now. Why Collin let you go. Why he couldn’t kill you. Why didn’t you come back, look for us?”
“I didn’t remember.”
“What?”
“How is this possible?” I asked.
“It doesn’t matter. What do you mean you didn’t remember?” Gabby asked.
“Remember Jace told us about this witch. I actually think he is married to her still.”
“Adrienne?”
I nodded. “She isn’t dead. In fact she is a vampire and she swiped my slate clean when she saw me lighting up like a torch.”
“No, we destroyed that coven. She wasn’t there.”
My gaze found hers. “Then she is still alive. Steven changed her, I’m sure he would look out for her. Did he know that you were coming?”
She nodded.
“Why is none of this freaking you out? I was her. I was the boogie man, Gabs.”
“So fucking what, we all had bad pasts, Morgan.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“No, you are Morgan.”
“I’m not. Believe me, I’m not. I’m a monster and sure everyone thinks I’m dead, but there are those that knows what I look like.”
“Fine, then we deal with them.”
“Gabby, what is wrong with you.”
“I’m not leaving you again. I can’t. Okay, I can’t. I can’t live if you are not there. I know you are not my lock pass, but you were my soul mate in every human way. My sister. You know what those visions did to me. Every time I saw you, and every time he refused to listen because Mel felt something. I knew she saw you.”
“No, his edges were complete.”
“What?”
“I saw him, I saw the edges were complete and I realized he locked on someone else.”
“Morgan, they only lock on one person. There is no redo for them. She colored in his tattoo, because she saw you.”
“No, Gabby.”
“Yes, she saw you. You were at that coven, guess who was supposed to go to that coven. Not Alex and Leigh.”
