Pale-faced and starting to break out in a cold sweat, Maxwell stared at Caroline with terrified eyes while rubbing his throbbing arm. When the only other remaining Redbright student touched his shoulder, he nearly jumped out of his skin. The two boys locked eyes for a moment, each silently sharing his desire to be anywhere but there. Then, in an almost synchronised motion, both boys fled along the same path as their departed schoolmates.
The confrontation between Caroline and Maxwell had escalated quickly—and ended just as fast. Before Guinevere could use her power to diffuse the situation, it was already over.
Now alone with Caroline, she was left feeling uneasy. There had been a flash of something dark and dangerous in the other woman that made the hairs on the back of Gwen’s neck stand up.
“Caroline…” she asked warily. “Are you all right?”
