She really intended to kill him. “You’re a huntress,” he said.
And he was the hunted.
Chapter Two
Her finger trembled against the trigger of the specialized weapon. All she had to do was crook her finger, pull the trigger and finally assuage the pain and frustration she’d suffered the past twenty years. Justice for Jennifer’s murder would fill the hole her loss had left in Eve’s life—it had to because nothing else had.
“You don’t want to do this,” the professor said again, his deep voice as hypnotic as all his students found it when he lectured.
She’d graduated some time ago, but she didn’t remember any teacher ever having the hold over his students that Professor Vossimer had. It was as if he brainwashed them to believe everything he said. While those naive, young students hung on his every word, she knew he spoke no truth—only self-serving lies.
“This is exactly what I want to do. What I need to do,” she insisted, “so that you can’t hurt anyone else the way you hurt Jennifer.” She’d been one of his students, too, long ago; his had been the last class her sister had ever attended. As payback, Eve wanted tonight’s lecture to be the last class he ever taught.
“I didn’t hurt Jennifer,” he said, his dark eyes warming slightly as he repeated her sister’s name.
“You remember her,” she realized.
He nodded.
“Good,” she said, her finger steadying. “I want you to know why I’m killing you, that it’s your sentence—your punishment—for what you’ve done.”
“You don’t know what I did. You don’t know anything about me.” He spoke slowly and quietly, as if he were trying to soothe her, or mesmerize her as he did his other students, into believing his lies.
Instead he incited her anger even more, because she was mad at herself for listening to him, for wanting to believe him. “You killed Jennifer!”
He shook his head. “I don’t understand why you think your sister is dead. Her body was never found.”
