Chapter 164 Audrey

Blood and bonfires and chanting suddenly turned into champagne and dancing and laughter.

I was suddenly thrust out of Fiona's memories, my mind reeling from the force of it. The world tilted, and I st**ed. backwards, stumbling over my own heels. My shoulder hit the floor, the impact jarring me back to the present.

Fiona stumbled back as well, collapsing to the floor with a cry. The music screeched to a halt, and the party fell into an eerie silence. All eyes were on us now.

"What... What just happened?" Fiona gasped, clutching her head. Her eyes were wide with confusion and fear. "What the hell did you do to me?"

I tried to speak, but my head was pounding. I could taste blood in my mouth, and I slowly lifted my hand, my fingers tenderly touching my upper lip. When I pulled them away and they were stained red, I quickly realized that my nose had begun bleeding at some point during my little adventure into Fiona's mind.

The room

swam before my eyes as I struggled to process what I had seen in Fiona's memories.

Two baby girls swapped in the night... Coldclaw... A so-called prophecy... A bl**dy ritual with a knife made of a carved ivory handle.

"Fiona," I hissed. "You"

Before I could finish, Claudia was suddenly rushing to Fiona's side, her face twisted with concern "Fiona, darling, are you alright? What happened?" Claudia looked up at me, noting the blood running down my lip, and her expression cycled between worry, confusion, and anger.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. People began to back away from me, their faces a mixture of fear and disgust. I could hear whispers starting to spread through the room.

"Did you hear that?"

"She read Fiona's mind?"

"How is that possible?"

"Freak.."

Edwin was suddenly at my side, helping me to my feet. His arm around my waist steadied me as I swayed-slightly, and his scent soothed some of my tension. I felt a ripple of pride work its way down our bond, followed by his gentle voice.

"You did it... What did you see?"

Claudia looked up at me, her face ashen as she clutched Fiona-who Claudia wasn't really her mother, was she?

"Audrey, what did you do to my daughter...?"

My daughter.. Oh, Claudia. She really had no idea. Not a clue that her real daughter was likely dead, or at least very, very far away by now.
