Chapter 127

• Ava could only guess how Mr Patrick and her dad would prepare her for this meeting with the Head of the Council, which was never going to happen.
• They were crazy. As if she was going to stick around for that death sentence.
• Her father had dropped her off at the administration block so he could drop his stuff off and see where he was staying for the next few days. People were still arriving for the weekend, so the whispers and looks from guardians and students were constant. She ignored them all as she crossed over to the fountain. She and her dad were going to eat while he extracted the whole story from her. She’d only told him and Mr Patrick the highly edited version. There was no point getting him too upset.
