CHAPTER 44

Melinda opened her eyes to see the handsomest man she’d ever seen staring at her. Lying next to her, his hand brushed down her cheek. She leaned forward and kissed him. It was better than any dream. Though her Beach Man was really damn hot.

“Ah,” came an old, scratchy voice. “You both return this time. Good. The veil is closed. Time to go home.” Sefu stood and headed for the door.

Melinda and Hamel looked at each other then turned to the old man. “Wait,” they both said.

The witch doctor sighed. “What?”

Melinda didn’t know where to begin with questions. “What just happened?”

“You haven’t figured it out, young one?” Sefu asked.

“What if the demons come back?” Melinda asked.

The witch doctor shook his head. “No worry. You closed the portal.”

“I did? When?”

Sefu sighed again. “Your spell.”

Hamel joined in. “It was the words you mumbled to bring us back here, when my wish didn’t work.” He looked up at Sefu. “Why didn’t my wish work to bring us back?”

The old man leaned against the doorframe, thinking. “I would say the magic chose not to work.”

“The magic has a conscience?” Melinda asked.

Sefu laughed. “Of course. Magic is as alive as you and me. It chooses when to obey and when to do something else. A good witch doctor learns to keep magic happy. Always happy.”

She looked at Hamel sitting next to her by the fire. “So the magic decided I should do a spell instead of letting Hamel wish us back? What did the spell do?”

“Listen to the translation and see for yourself: May we join our true reality. Sealing this realm forever to its own.”

“That’s it?” Melinda said. “All those words to bring us here and seal the portal closed.” Sefu gave a nod. “One more thing, Sefu.” She pulled out the plastic tube with the serum. “We need to destroy this now. I wanted to wait until Monday, but I’ve changed my mind.”

“Wait,” Hamel said. “I saw you drink that. How is it here?”

Melinda rolled her eyes. “Hamel, my body was here with yours. When I came back, I was in the dream world. What you saw is what I wished you to see. It was to trick the demon into thinking there was no serum. I’d hoped he’d give up his plan and go away. It didn’t quite happen that way, but he believes it’s gone, which is all that’s needed.”

Sefu came around the fire to her and took the vial. He opened the top and chanted over it. He then poured the liquid into the fire. “It is done.” His chin rested on his chest. “This old man is tired.” He shuffled toward the door again. “Take her home, cat, and bind her to you. She is the one. Mate.” Once out the door, he walked away, not looking back.

Alone with Hamel, she smiled and took his hand. “Have I mentioned that I love you?”

He brought her hand to his lip for a kiss. “I’ve prayed to hear those words for a long time, my love.
