Who will be next? Do as I ask or there will be another death.

Jago

“He is obviously threatening the family,” Rafe said pointlessly.

Aldric ignored him and carried on his speech, directed at Anais.

“Andrew has agreed to step up the defences around the manor and unfortunately for the time being we are to have a lockdown. That means we all have to stay within the grounds of the manor including Arcadia who will have to let Hollywood run itself without her for now.” He shifted his gaze from Anais to Arcadia giving her a knowing look.

Arcadia looked miserable at the thought of it but she kept silent.

Anais took another sip of the coffee. Everyone was looking at her now. She knew she should be more scared that Jago had been in the house but instead she was just angry. He had killed her parents. He had robbed her of her whole family, taken her whole life away from her, and now he was threatening to hurt her new adopted family. No, she wasn’t as scared as everyone else seemed to be, she just wished she had stayed awake long enough to see him. She didn’t know what she would have done if she had come face to face with her parents murderer but the sharp kitchen knives on the kitchen counter were giving her ideas. Besides if Andrew was half as good as Aldric made out then he would keep them all safe. The thought of spending the next few weeks stuck with Aethelu and her new family in the manor didn’t sound too bad at all. She certainly was less upset about the prospect than the rest of the family seemed to be.

“It’s just threats though,” Anais said

“Anais. The man is dangerous. He’s been inside the house,” Winnie sniffed.

“He did get in here, yes, but he didn’t actually do anything beyond putting a letter on the table. We were all a bit drunk last night. We were sitting ducks. He could have hurt any one of us but he didn’t. He’s just trying to scare us.”

“Don’t underestimate him Anais. Look what he did to your parents.” Aldric looked at her intently.

“From behind the wheel of a car, in the middle of the night. He’s nothing but a chicken.”

“The brakes on my car didn’t just fail,” Alex said.

Finally the enormity of the situation sank in.

“They were cut?”

“Yes. They’d been cut halfway. We were lucky that they lasted as long as they did and only snapped when we were going slowly.”

Anais slumped in her chair and was silent. She looked to Aldric who gave her a small sad smile and then continued where he had been interrupted.

“Now we have another little problem,” Aldric continued.

She had a sinking feeling that he was using ‘little problem’ in the same way he had said ‘predicament’ earlier.

“I checked Anais blood and conducted many tests on her DNA yesterday. I am pleased to tell you all that, as I expected, she has inherited The Light from her father.
