Chapter Five

"I have to get to the archives," Remy said.

I wanted to protest, but he jumped into the driver's seat of the car. I figured that perhaps I could talk him out of it while we drove the short distance to the courthouse, and I got into the passenger side. At least he hadn't taken off running. That little mercy was short-lived though when we pulled over again after a block.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he put the car in park.

"I'm going to run the rest of the way. It's only a block. I don't want to get too close. Fire trucks will be coming. It's going to be a mess."

"Remy, you cannot run into a burning building."

"I'll be fine, Brighton. You always seem to forget we're witches when you panic," he said with a reassuring smile.

"Witches or not, I still don't want my husband and the father of my child running into a burning building," I said.

"Go home, honey. I'll be there soon," Remy said.

"You've lost your mind if you think I'm just going to go home and sit while you go into a fire," I said.

"I admire your spirit, but you need to get Kinsley out of here. It won't be good for her to wait near the smoke," he said. "I love you."

And then he ran off too. I tried to protest as he got out of the car, but he was laser focused on getting to the courthouse.

I got out and watched him go, casting a protection spell over him before I lost sight of his figure moving toward the building. If he could protect himself enough to actually go into the fire, then I could protect my daughter enough from a little smoke. I opened the back door of the car and took her out of the car seat. She fit in the crook of one of my arms, and with my free hand, I waved a spell of purity and protection over her small form. We wouldn't get any closer, but the smoke wouldn't touch her if we stayed where we were and just watched.

While I didn't walk toward the burning building, I did cross the street so I could get a better look. The smoke was getting thicker, but I saw a few of the Aunties, including Amelda who must have come out from the library, standing around the square. They were keeping most of the smoke contained, and I had to wonder if they were using magic to control the fire too. They probably could have put it out quickly, but there were so many people around. Following the mass memory erasure they'd done after the zombie thing, they weren't in a hurry to use magic in any way that required them to mess around in the regular citizen's brains. Still, it must have been hard for them to not just put the flames out and then move along with their day.

My eyes instinctively darted up to the window where I usually saw the malevolent specter that haunted the courthouse.
