Fillan raised his eyebrows and stepped inside her room, closing the door behindhim.
She crossed her arms over her chest. “I said getout.”
“Why the sudden change in attitude toward me?” he asked with a frown. “I thought you would be pleased to find that I am awake and free of that horriblecurse.”
She raised an eyebrow. “That curse actually affectedyou?”
“It did,” he said with a solemn nod. “I hear you are to thank for freeing us all from it. Tell me, Bree, how did you doit?”
Bree’s heart thumped hard. She refused to tell the assassin what she’d done. There was no doubt in her mind that he would put two and two together, figuring out once and for all what Taveon was hiding from the realm. And she couldn’t let him dothat.
“A little bird told me the trick,” she merely said, half-smiling at her play onwords.
Fillan furrowed his eyebrows and stepped forward. “Bree. This is serious. How did you undo the curse? Did it have anything to do with what Taveonis?”
All the blood drained from Bree’s face. “No.”
“Bree,” he said again, tucking a finger underneath her chin and forcing her to look up into his eyes. “Listen to me. If I am right about Taveon’s true nature, then this entire realm is indanger.”
Frowning, Bree tried to jerk away, but his finger held her firmly in place. “What are you talkingabout?”
“The demonic gods,” Fillan said in a low growl. “They are trying to find a way to break open the gates so they can come and take back theirson.”
