"I think I know where to start," he said, focusing on the sense that told him where the immortal intruders were. "Sofi, can you see Jenn?"
"I can't see anything, Darian."
"How did I get back?"
Bianca and Sofi shared a look before Sofi said grudgingly, "Xander brought you."
"And where is he?"
"Gone. We think he went after Jule, but we don't know. Something about how Originals stick together," Bianca said.
"Even if he finds them, he won't help us. I traded my trump cards," Sofi added. "Darian, you have to find them."
"I'll go now. What of the Guardians, were they brought back?"
"With their powers. Whatever you did down there, you reset the balance," Bianca said. "Jonny … I don't think he'll wait for the truce to be up." Her words were hushed.
"It's okay, Bianca. You know he loves you, but he has a duty to fulfill," he said. "Sofi, did you recall Pierre from his vacation?"
"He's on his way back."
"If anything happens, contact me," Darian ordered. "Anything, Sofi."
She nodded.
Darian left them in the study, wired with energy. He located the nearest Watcher and Traveled, appearing in a small attic. The Watcher turned away from the window, surprise on its face. Darian snatched it by the neck and slammed it against the wall.
"They're alive."
"Who is alive?"
"Your brothers."
"What did you do to them?"
"Saved them."
"Bullshit!" Darian said and shook the small creature. "If you lie, I'll snap your neck and move on to the next one."
"Ikir, I am serious. The Others planned to snatch them all. If they couldn't find them, they couldn't take them."
"You were supposed to close the gateways," the Watcher said with a note of sadness. "The immortal world is gone."
"Because you brought your war here!"
"Because there was no other way."
The Watcher Traveled, disappearing from Darian's grip. He spun as the creature materialized on the other end of the attic.
