And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Pollux.

I had never seen my sister as upset as she was, and to be honest I thought she was going to kill Zia before I jumped in to pull her off the poor girl. Perhaps Zia was a wicked pain in the ass and deserved every bit of what she got but I wouldn't let Cassie be the one to pull that trigger. I wouldn't let her live with the guilt. The problem was I hadn't anticipated the way things ended, and as Cassie said she thought Inanna, the head of students, had something to do with what was wrong with Lucas. I didn't want to believe it.

Cassie groaned, rolling her eyes as she shook her head. "Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm telling you... something is definitely going on with that woman."

"Cassie, that's just how she is," Silas replied quickly trying to make my sister see reason. He did have a point. Even when I met her in her office when I first started that was how she came off... as someone a bit odd but who cared.

Sansa as if searching for at least one of us that would believe her. However, even Sansa seemed skeptical, and I wouldn't doubt her for feeling
