Chapter 61

RYN

about who they communicated with?

It was evening by the time Sadie dropped me back at the dorm, and the moment I got in, my phone began to ring. Checking it, I discovered it was from Adam so I paused my movement wondering why he was calling. Didn't Sadie tell me that the Blackwells were cautious I picked the call regardless.

"Hi Adam." I said, trying not to sound wary.

"Hi Kathryn." He replied, and I frowned. Only my parents ever called me that.

"prefer you call me Ryn." I replied.

Adam hesitated on the other end. "Very well. If you say so." He answered. "I just wanted to check in on you and see how you were faring. You seemed pretty shaken up yesterday."

"I was, but I'm better now." I replied. I still couldn't shake the image of him as a child not disturbed like the rest of the kids.

"Alright. See you tomorrow?"

'Yea sure." I replied.

The call ended and I stood baffled for a minute.

Kathryn. Why did he call me that? If he remembers me, does that mean the others do too? It makes sense that Sadie might not remember because she was younger than me but what about the others. What about Prince Theon and Miro? I'shook my head and decided to focus on the next test. Strength Levels.

I didn't have issues with that but that was when I was myself and not borrowing someone's lifeforce. My breath whooshed out of me as I collapsed on the bed and stared into space. I should talk to Prince Theon. He should know in advance that I'd be using a lot of his strength. I grabbed my phone and scrolled to his number but instead of dialling it, my finger hovered over his name. I remembered

I licked my dry lips, guaging the strength of my courage. Then I sighed and let my back fall on the bed.

I'm such a chicken.
