Chapter 75

Kas's POV

Once Delilah and Musu get back to the apartment, Delilah and I turn on the cooking channel to watch a cake baking competition. We beg Musu to watch with us, but she insists she has work to do. She compromises by sitting on the sofa and putting on her headphones while she keeps working. Delilah and I throw my green and gray blanket over US and comment on what the contestants are doing right and wrong and what we

would do differently. During the commercial breaks, Delilah tells me about the basics of magic theory to prepare me for practices.

Around four p.m. there is a knock on the apartment door. Delilah jumps up before I can stop her and answers it.

"Um, Kas?" Lex says quietly, as if someone other than me could hear her if she spoke to loud.

"Um, Lex? Why are you whispering?" I ask, confused.

"I want to talk to you about something before you play with magic."

"Okay, you know you can tell me anything. What's up?"

‘The other day, when I was talking to Saint in the weight room, he said he would get Bronx to agree to being healed,” she confides.

"Healed from what?" I ask, still confused.

'To take the silver out of his liver and maybe even fix his eye if you can do it,” her voice is tentatively hopeful.

"Saint is going to convince Bronx to do that? W-what if I can't heal him?” I feel unsure of myself as she continues to talk.

"You need to forget about what Amari said about being an energy vampire. It’s a shitty slur and she shouldn't have said it," I can feel Lex growl at the memory, "Kas, Leticia is right. Even if she is a little twisted in her thinking. Your sisters can be dangerous and we need to watch our back. We also need to watch the backs of nine very misunderstood Mavri Magea who depend on you, even if you have never known it before.”

"Okay, but what does that have to do with healing Bronx?"

"You know how strong he is, right? Without that silver in his body, he will be even more so. If there is any truth to what Leticia says, we will need him to be stronger, Kas," I feel Elexis shift uncomfortably, "We will also need to make sure he and Saint don't lose their ever loving minds when they are at full power.”

"What do you mean? Make sure they don't lose their minds? Because that sounds to me like we should leave that silver right where it is, Lex," I don't sound like I'm scolding her but I am.
