Chapter Thirteen

I spoke Hailey’s cheesy incantation. It made the wand invisible, just as promised, though not non-existent. I’d still have to be a little crafty about sneaking it out of the visitor room. One thing they never tried to pat down was my hands. No need to do that since they could see if you were holding something. So I held my invisible wand between my fingers while one of the security guards flipped through my newly acquired grimoire to ensure no weapons were stowed away inside. A grimoire isn’t a real weapon on its own. It could contain the deadliest spells ever incanted, but without a wand, without the right ingredients for a cauldron to incant the wand, the book contained no real power.

I could hear the security guard’s heart race as he ran the back of his hand down my legs. I didn’t blame him for being anxious. I mean, while I still had my sunlight collar on, I was a vampire and he was a human. Not to mention, the sound of his heart beating caused my stomach to stir. Sipping donated blood was getting old, and my cravings were starting to increase. I’d gone longer than this a few times in my existence, but not by much. The bottles of donated blood just weren’t cutting it. If anything, they were making my cravings worse. There’s a reason why appetizers are called appetizers. They’re just a tease, a little sampling of food that makes you that much hungrier for the real meal.

Thankfully, with my wand in hand and a few spells already incanted within it, I had everything I needed to get out of here. But Hailey gave me this grimoire, too—not like I could use it without a cauldron, and God knew what kind of exotic ingredients its spells called for. But clearly there was something in this book she wanted me to find, something I should learn and study.

“How was the visit?” Nyx asked as I strolled past her usual lounging spot in the common area, my grimoire in hand.

I smiled. “Not who I expected. But she came with reading material.” I opened the grimoire and showed Nyx.

She scrunched her eyebrows, eyeing the tome with curiosity. She might be the closest thing I had to a friend in this place, but I also wasn’t sure that revealing my wand was wise. Nyx wasn’t a snitch, but we were still in full view of the cameras.

“What is it?” Nyx asked.

“A book of spells,” I said. “In the Craft it’s known as a grimoire. Magical rituals, potions, all kinds of shit.”

“Anything that could help us get the hell out of here?”

“Sure,” I said. “If you happen to know where I might find a cauldron, the severed foot of a rabbit, and the entrails of a gopher.”

Nyx shrugged. “If only I’d known. I just used the last of my gopher guts this morning.”

“Sure you did.” I cracked a smile out of the corner of my mouth.

The sound of footsteps and chains alerted my attention.
