Nils grins. \u201cLet me search Aunt Hel\u2019s spell books later this evening while she\u2019s eating. As long as I can find the list of ingredients, I should be able to finish brewing one for you by tomorrow night. Come by the greenhouse before dinner.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s perfect. I\u2019ll invite Tala and Isaac to dinner, saying I want to apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd instead you\u2019ll get his confession,\u201d Nils says slowly. I nod. \u201cExactly.\u201d As soon as classes are over, I head for the witch campus. It\u2019s pouring again today, but this time I\u2019m prepared. Now I\u2019m really glad Patricia insisted I bring an umbrella with me. I double-check the text from Nils, my screen already damp with humidity.<\/p>\n

Should be ready soon. Swing by after class. I look around the witch campus, searching for the greenhouse. Witches are everywhere: on their way to the library, the dining hall, or their dorms. For a moment, I see Emil\u00eda walking among them. As soon as I blink, she vanishes. I haven\u2019t been back here since the s\u00e9ance.<\/p>\n

Nibbling on a nail, I spot a familiar face among the witches. \u201cIrina,\u201d I call, jogging over to her. \u201cH-hi, Edith.\u201d She clutches her umbrella so hard her knuckles turn white. \u201cW-what brings you here?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m just looking for Nils,\u201d I say. \u201cWhere is the greenhouse?\u201d \u201cOver there.\u201d She tips her chin to the left, opposite of the way I was heading. \u201cS-Sorry, I have to go.\u201d Before I can even thank her, Irina dashes toward the library.<\/p>\n

She must really believe I\u2019m the killer. Shaking my head slowly, I head for the greenhouse. Once Isaac confesses, I\u2019ll be able to clear my name. I should hurry, but I\u2019m nervous about seeing Nils again after he tried to kiss me. Should we talk about it? It didn\u2019t seem like he wanted to yesterday. He apologized and quickly changed the subject. But I should make sure he knows I only want to be friends. A relationship is the last thing I want.<\/p>\n

I start chewing on one of my cuticles while I walk. What if I accidentally offend Nils, though? If he likes me, rejecting him could hurt his feelings. Or worse. I can\u2019t help but think of Jason and how he reacted when I told him no. The greenhouse glass is fogged and gleaming wet with the downpour.<\/p>\n

Humidity dampens my cheeks as I step inside. Raindrops pelt the roof, pinging off the glass and trailing down the sides of the greenhouse like tears. Everywhere I look, plants blossom and grow wild, but I don\u2019t see anyone around. \u201cHello?\u201d I say. \u201cEdith?\u201d Nils pops out of a side room and smiles. \u201cYou\u2019re just in time. It\u2019s nearly done.\u201d<\/p>\n

With much love, Crystal 1kitap1.com\/en CHAPTER ONE EDITH Knives always make me nervous. Metal gleams as Jim lifts the knife in his large fist and slices into his slab of ham. In his every movement, no matter how innocuous, I see the possibility of violence. But the man sitting across the table is not my dad, I remind myself. My dad is dead. I don\u2019t have to fear him anymore. Jim smiles, exposing coffee-stained teeth. \u201cEverything okay, Edith?\u201d<\/p>\n

My foster father\u2019s voice is smooth and easy, my name familiar in his mouth. I\u2019ve lived with him and his wife for nine years, but I doubt either one remembers what terrible anniversary September 15 marks. My parents\u2019 murder-suicide took place ten years ago today. If Jim remembered, he wouldn\u2019t be asking me if everything is okay. He would know it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
