“Spells and conjuring. I used a sleep spell on Eva. I have not ever hurt anyone with my spells, although I would do what I had to if Cat and Drake were in danger.”

“What could you do?” he asked.

“She could disintegrate people, which is what I told her she should have done to those men who attacked her in the woods. She could have turned them into cockroaches or anything else that she wanted to,” Cassia said. “But no. She said that they were running away so she was going to let them.”

Rory looked at her for a minute and nodded. He looked at Cassia and said, “It’s a good thing that she didn’t. I don’t believe in violence unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Savvy stuck out her tongue at Cassia and said, “See.”

“What about conjuring?” he asked.

Savvy snapped her fingers and a mosquito appeared right in front of Cassia, who quickly ate it.

“She deserved a snack.” Savvy grinned, clearly more relaxed since she knew that Rory wasn’t going to fire her immediately and send her packing out the door.

“You can conjure live things?” he asked, clearly astonished.

“And inanimate objects,” she told him.

“I deserve a snack, too. It’s been a stressful day.”

She snapped her fingers and a plate of cookies and a glass of milk appeared in front of him. A pillow appeared behind his head and his lap was covered with a soft blanket.

“Can you make things disappear?”

“Isn’t that your job?” she asked, pointing to the snacks.

She snapped her fingers again and the blanket and pillow disappeared.

He skeptically picked up a cookie and sniffed it. “It smells real.”

“I’m not a 3-D printer and churn things out in plastic. It is a real cookie.”

She grabbed one and ate it, then drank half the glass of milk, wiping away the little white mustache that was left on her upper lip.

Rory tentatively bit into one of the cookies and then smiled. “This is really good.”

“Thanks,” she said.

He got serious again and said, “I had Sebastian research you.”

“I would have guessed that since I’m taking care of your kids.”

“He said that while you, Beth, and Taryn are good people, your mother and Beth’s mother are not.”

“Sebastian is correct,” Savvy said, clenching her fingers together. “Matilda, Beth’s mom, is about as evil as you can get. She tried to kill Conner a couple of times just because she hoped that would give her more control over Beth. Beth isn’t just a healer. She can do the reverse, too. While she can make a person’s heart start beating again, if it stopped relatively recently, she can also make it stop beating. She can heal your organs or cause them to rupture. That is a powerful gift. Taryn can calm the animals, but she could also force them to kill, even if it’s against their nature.”

“Wow,” he said.

“Beth made it perfectly clear to her mother that if the dark ever came near her or anyone Beth cared about, then she would end her mother’s life without a second thought.”

“What about your mother?” he asked.

Savvy rubbed her forehead and then her face. “She isn’t very powerful. However, she enjoys the prestige she thinks that she gets from hanging around with Matilda. She knows better than to come near me. I don’t think that we’ve spoken since I was sixteen. I have no idea what happened to my father or the rest of my family.”

“That must be hard,” Rory said. “I can’t imagine not having any family.”

“I have Cassia and Beth. I have Taryn, and now I have the kids, Colby, Amy, and Rosa. There is the old saying that blood is thicker than water, but I disagree. I think that love and loyalty are better than blood.”
