An aged sheet of parchment lies across a light wood table. “First page” with a line beneath it marks the top of the parchment.
Text fills the rest of the parchment: Heat skitters across my legs and arms as I sink into the tub in my grandmother Leelee’s washroom. The lavender and rose-perfumed water suffocates the darkened room. My nose flinches at the disturbingly familiar scents, and my eyelids squeeze shut as I remember my vision from five years ago. The bloody images flash behind my eyes, and piercing screams reverberate in my ears. My gloved fingers scrape the tub’s sides as they curl into fists.
“Star.” River’s even voice draws me back to the present and to what I promised her I’d do.
I meet River’s pale Seer eyes. They mirror my own; my sky-blue irises faded to almost white after my Seer abilities showed at twelve.
“Yes,” I grumble, irritated with her forcing me to trigger my first vision. Even though we do this every week, I hate it. I’d rather wear sopping clothes everyday than remember what happened on my twelfth birthday.
I’m only obeying her wishes because of the deal we made when I was thirteen.
The pleasant warmth from the bath loosens the knots in my back, and my anxious breaths slow until they’re steady.
“Are you ready?” River’s dress plumes around her as she kneels beside the wooden tub.
“Yes.”
She unsheathes her dagger and flips her hand. A shard of light slips through the closed curtains, highlighting the dark edges of the Eye on her palm. She presses the blade’s tip into the pad of her index finger, and crimson bubbles from the wound. After sheathing her dagger, she leans over the steaming water, positioning her finger beneath my nose.
