LittleNovel---- I turned to see Lavinia stepping through the vortex. "Lavi! For a second I thought you were Laziel..." I said, hugging her, not noticing the weird look on her face. But when that dark aura hit my nose, I knew immediately. "Wait... no, no, you totally fucked my antisocial cousin!" "Shut up, girl! Might as well scream it from the highest tower in this realm," she huffed. "Ha! I knew Lazinia was real! Those girls who doubted owemoney!" "I cover your messes and you all bet on my love life," she muttered, then added with fake malice, "Anyway, I've already got my revenge list." "And yeah, yeah, I'm with Laziel now, old news. Let's talk about you," she said, lookingup and down teasingly. Then she glanced at the room until her eyes landed on the desk. "L still can't believe you said 'I'm innocent.' We really need to retire that line every twe get caught." "Someone else got caught? Who found their mate? I bet it was Lyra, 'cause Aztoria's a fake modest she-wolf slut!" "Dear Victoria, you've got a lot of gossip coming your way-don't worry." She patted my shoulder with a knowing grin. And here I thought I had the wildest experience. Turns out the girls had their own crazy adventures. At least they were safe, and that was a relief. I hadn't worried about Laziel for even a second. Why waste stress on him? He's like the boogeyman parents use to scare naughty kids.
"You still win the crown for chaos, though. I think you were the worst of us all," she said, turning to close the portal. "Lyra caughtin the act, but if my dad had... I'd have thrown myself off the balcony." "Not even an option-I can fly, remember? I'd need something way more tic to die," I replied, and we cracked up laughing. Goddess, it felt so damn good to talk to one of my girls again, even if Lavinia was usually the most serious one. I missed home, despite my chill attitude.
"Let's go. They're callingtelepathically," I told her, wrapping ---- an arm around her waist and resting my head on her shoulder. "How did you bring my mom here and open a portal when we couldn't before?" "When Laziel stormed into this realm, I used his spectral world to access this place," she explained as we walked down the hallway. Looks like she and the specter heir share a lot of that dark magic. Not surprising at all.
The only one who didn't realize she was always connected to Laziel... was Lavinia herself. She's the eldest, but not always the sharpest. "I'm guessing my mom told you exactly where Dad was?" "Yep, she sure did," she replied, glancing at the huge paintings on the walls. The whole vibe here was classic and gloomy. "This is totally vampire-style," she nailed it. "It is. This used to be the vampire feud's den that ruled these lands... long story," I added as we turned the corner.
