divine. And as I look atthe heap of ingredients piled high before me, I can't help but feel a small surge of

excitement, knowing it's finally all coming together after loads of false starts. To say I was worried about

being able to find this stuff all in one place is putting it mildly. It was such an odd and varied list, I wasn't

even sure if those items existed, which kind of made me feel doomed before I'd started. But Ava assured me

not only that Lina could deliver but that she could also be trusted. And while I'm still not so sure about that

last part, it's not like Ihad anywhere else to turn. But the way Lina kept squinting at me, her gaze narrowing

on mine as she gathered the powders and herbs, started to set me on edge. And when she held up the sketch

I'd drawn and said, "What exactly are you practicing here? Is this some sort of alchemy?" I was sure I'd

made a colossal mistake. Ava glanced at me and was just about to step in when I shook my head and forced a

laugh as I said, "Well, if you mean alchemy in its truest sense of mastering nature, averting chaos, and

extending life for an indeterminate amount of time"—a definition I'drecently memorized after researching

the term—"then no, I'm afraid my intentions aren't anywhere near that grand. I'm just trying out a little

clear up my allergies, which are about to go haywire since it's nearly spring and I don't want my nose to be

all red and drippy for prom pictures, you know?"

And when I saw how that failed to convince her, especially the part about the allergies, I added,

"Which is

why I need all that rose quartz, since, as you know, it's supposed to bring love, oh and then the turquoise—" I

pointed at the pendant she wore. "Well, you know how it's famous for healing, and ..." And even though I

was prepared to go on and on, reciting the full list of things I'd learned merely an hour before, I decided to

cut it right there and end with a shrug.

I unwrap the crystals, taking great care as I cradle them each in the palm of my hand, closing my fingers

around them, and picturing a brilliant white lightpermeating straight through to their core, performing the

all-important "cleansing and purifying" step, which, according to what I read online, is merely the first stage

in programming the stones. The second is to ask them (out loud!) to soak up the moon's powerful energy so

they can provide the service nature intended them for.

"Turquoise," I whisper, glancing at the door, making sure that it's closed all the way, imagining how embarrassing it would be for Sabine to barge in and catch me cooing to a pile of rocks."I ask that you heal,

purify, and help balance the chakras as nature intended you to do." Then I take a deep breath and
