not as strong as some of the other people here.
    “ Where is she?” I growl.
    “ She left with someone.”
    I take the guy’s place, pressing her against the wall, with my hand right above her left shoulder. She moans and I roll my eyes.
    “ His name is Ian Sullivan.”
    “ Where does he live?”
    “ What do I get if I tell you?”
    I laugh. “You get to be alive to go on with whatever you are doing here.”
    “ Geez. Fine. I will tell you.”
    I could have glamoured her to save myself from hearing all of this, but there is something about the way she is talking to me. There is a certain playful defiance that is getting to me.
    “ A few blocks down the road.”
    “ Nicholas, let’s go,” says Harvey.
    I ignore him. I move my hand down, brushing her hair to the side and I see a red rose tattoo.
    I freeze. Something is wrong. Like the other day… the color… it’s all wrong.
    “ Nicholas!” yells Harvey. “I said, let’s go.”
    He pulls me away, then glamours Sarah’s friend into forgetting that we were talking to her.
    It’s not until I get in the car that I’m able to focus on anything but the rose. “I didn’t get this guy’s address and we can’t track Sarah because of the angel blood.”
    “ Relax. We can track her phone, but I’m calling her first.”
    “ And if she doesn’t answer?”
    “ We’ll go and get her, but that will at least buy us a few minutes for you to calm down before you go ripping the poor guy’s throat apart. I don’t exactly feel like packing to move again.”

CHAPTER TWELVE
    SARAH
    I follow Ian into the house. His mom is sleeping on the couch with the TV on. He says, “She is a heavy sleeper. Ally’s room is at the end of the hallway. Come on.”
    I follow him there and he knocks on the door.
    “ Come in,” says the voice on the other side.
    Ian opens the door and walks in, motioning for me to follow him.
    “ Hey, Ally,” he says as he sits on the bed.
    Ally is also sitting on her bed, with a book on her lap. She puts it aside and looks at me. She isn’t rude, but she doesn’t exactly seem pleasant either.
    “ So what is going on?” she asks Ian. “You can sit down,” she says, looking back at me.
    I sit on the chair by her desk.
    Ian sighs.
    “ This is Noelle,” he says. “She found herself in the middle of Cassie’s little games.”
    Ally gives him a saddened look. “First week of school?” she says. “I’m impressed. She never moved this fast before. So, how did she end up with you?” she asks Ian.
    Ian seems nervous. “Everything just happened so fast. I saw her with Cody and some guys. I told Megan someone should try to do something about it, and she flipped out, so I left her there. I was on my way to Noelle when I realized there was nothing I could actually do, so I decided to just leave. When I got to my car, Noelle showed up and asked what was the deal with Cassie. Cody came out, we threw a few punches, and here we are.”
    Her eyes widen. “You left Megan?”
    He nods.
    “ I’m proud. It’s about time. I told you before I didn’t want you with her out of obligation for helping me out.”
    “ I didn’t say I broke up with her. I just left her alone at the party.”
    “ Yeah,” she rolls her eyes. “She will have your head on a silver platter for that.”
    I just sit back and watch their interaction.
    Ian looks at me, “Do you think it is too late to help her?” he asks his sister.
    “ Well, school just started. I think she can get away. Just don’t accept gifts from her… ever,” she says as she looks at my clothes. “And don’t give her anything she can use against you.”
    I nod.
    Ally looks from me to Ian, and we can both see the way he looks at me. It is strange that someone I just met is so invested in helping me. Ally shakes her head. “Don’t get involved in this, Ian. I’m warning you. If you want to help Noelle, do it without them knowing.”
    He nods without taking his eyes off me.
    “ I’m sorry,” I
