Chapter 16 Summary: “Tory”

Tory receives a message from Falling Star, asking them to meet behind the bar in 10 minutes. When they do, they receive another message claiming that it’s unsafe and warning them to get to safety before the darkness claims them. Before they can leave the dark alley, a shadowed figure emitting a strange rattling sound appears. The sound blocks their magic and pulls at their limbs. The girls fight against the sound and its effect, running for the safety of the bright public street before the shadow figure can catch them.

When they emerge, they see the Celestial Heirs sitting at a table outside the bar with a group of admirers. Max notices them first and initiates physical contact to feed on their fear and strengthen his own power. The boys convince the girls to stay for one drink. Darius takes particular interest in hearing about their shadowy encounter after Darcy mentions the rattling sound they heard. Tory finishes her drink immediately, and the twins decide to find a club for dancing. The boys follow, and Darius and Seth join Tory and Darcy on the dance floor. Darius is soon pulled away by Orion, who claims that they need to speak about a missing assignment.
