How could I have not seen this one coming? Winsor had been invited to the ball as well, I should have known that he would be in Lord Heathcliff’s guest list. As he dragged me across the ball room with a sinster smile on his face, I looked at Koru and Tori for help. Though I couldn’t figure out what was Tori’s take on this but by the way Koru was making gestures , I guessed he was advising me to think rationally and not do something that would cause trouble for us later. But then again, this vampire was a deadly enemy to me and Vlade. While he made me dance with him forcefully like a rag doll, I tried reaching for Zaphara again but somehow he sensed my movements and caught my hand. Twirling me around, he pulled me closer and warned me. “I think you didn’t get it the first time, did you?”
