…that thing …with the buffalo… no… always come back stoned…Ro…do you …, [ i_001.jpg] She looks across the stark, still surface of Wast Water. Makes out the shape of the school, emerging from the gloom like an iceberg. Pictures the big wooden door. Imagines her way inside: high ceilings; bookcases; triple-tiered bunk beds and big comfy sofas capable of swallowing the unwary. He reaches the end of the track and emerges into a wide stretch of grassy clifftop: old farm-buildings and rusty machinery spaced out erratically around a small grubby-white cottage with a sun-bleached door. The house has its back to him; its face staring out towards the nearby cliff edge - a fishermans wife awaiting a ships return. Its a bleak, desolate place to call home but there is something about it that Rowan finds appealing. He can see himself here, writing bad poetry by lamplight, the single-glazed windows rattling in the crumbling frames; the ceaseless gale howling down the chimney to stir the ash in the grate. He’s known a lot of coppers in his life and none have chosen to spend their retirement in such a location. It’s the sort of place where Rowan can imagine a Medieval prison: some hellish stone tower perched on a promontory, the howls of the prisoners lost amid the crashing waves and the screeching gulls. Shan knew the sensation, remembered it. When Anala died, hed thought his soul had been taken with her. The pain, the horror, he could recall it all. Their bond was failing. No, their bond was being torn to shreds. As Jessica Thorne she writes fantasy romance and Space Opera, such asThe Queens Wing andThe Stones Heart (Bookouture). I would never ask a man that. Especially Gabriel Browne. She fell uneasily in the pattern of the previous days—travelling in the morning, ushering her rag-bag troops south, dragging their pitiful supplies after them, camping come the afternoon and then, once she had eaten, training. Violet cocks her head, listening hard. There are four voices, all male. Slowly, like a face forming in fire, the sounds become people, and the noise becomes words. She hears Mr Tunstall. Mr Rideal. Rev Marlish. Another man, too. His voice is softer, harder to hear, but it contains a solidity that makes it seem like an iron bar surrounded by the willowy branches of the other speakers. But leave now and she might never see Shan again. Is Daddy coming? Evelyn wakes in the kitchen, face down on crossed arms. Theres an empty bottle of Famous Grouse on the table and two Mars bar wrappers scrumpled up on her paperwork. A mugshot of Rowan Blakes face is staring up at her from the inside flap of the red book. She fell asleep while reading. Dreamed of tall, angular figures moving towards her through fire-blackened trees; the shadows and the objects that cast them indistinguishable; bindings about her elbows and ankles; soft earth in her throat. Inever suggested Fethan, Indarin protested. That didnt work last time, Christian. I will kill you. The wind rustled the leaves. My arms ached, and I could feel her tiny heartbeat as she lay on my chest. The memory was more painful than the physical pain hed put me through. Where is she? Total silence fell over the company—Feyna and Holter alike—as if everyone strained to hear what was said. Jeren knew better than to try. Shan would be using his calm, quiet voice that could still the world around him, reining in his temper to something close to a strained whisper. The body in the hallway hadnt been dead long. If it was my mother, Christian must have killed her shortly after she called me. Dear goddess, Shan thought,am I that far gone? Have I changed so much?So what was he now to them? What had he become in their eyes? And would they heed him at all now? Youre not English, smiles Rowan. Youre not even officially classified as human. Youre a breed apart. Shan, Jeren was saying. Please, put him down. Gods, youre killing him. Put him down. Browne turned between two concrete posts and stopped in front of the gates then rolled down his window and spoke into the intercom.Detective Browne and Dakota Dale to see Amanda Clark..
