Back at my apartment, the three of us sat around in the living room, discussing our next steps.

“Vic, she said to go to your favorite place. She gave you an instruction,” Lola said, for at least the third time in a half an hour.

“Yeah, I know what she said,” I said, getting up from the couch and walking toward the sliding glass door to the balcony. “But I’ve already tried my favorite place and it didn’t get me anywhere.”

Also, I didn’t want to mention that ever since we had returned from seeing The Three, something felt off to me in my old hunting grounds. I didn’t feel as comfortable, as certain, as I had always been there, and it was bothering me.

“Maybe she meant someplace else,” Lola said, and I felt like the discussion was just going in circles now.

“What about—” Matt started to say, but I cut him off, as my irritation with Lola and this discussion rose.

“Lola, she’s out of her fucking mind. She’s ruined. I don’t think she knows what she’s saying.”

Lola jumped up out of the chair she was in and walked toward me, leaving Matt in the living room by himself. Her hands waved around and she was animated as she talked.

“Magics don’t just say things,” she started. “Raven, for as long as I’ve known her, she’s always right. Even if what she’s saying has to be...decoded first.”

I felt like I was going to explode.

“Okay then, you tell me. What’s my favorite place?”

Lola stopped, hands on hips and grimaced.

“The bars,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest. “Maybe you need to try it again. Maybe something wasn’t in place when you were there before.”

“No, that’s not it,” I said, crossing my arms as well and looking out over the city. I opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony right as I heard Matt start to say something again. Lola was right behind me.

It was 3 a.m. but still hot and humid, and I liked it. It matched the fire I felt I had burning inside of me. The urgency, the intensity, the direness of the situation.

I could hear people yelling out, talking, laughing, even vomiting as they poured out of bars and clubs and onto the streets.

This is part of what I liked, the chaos of it all. The life of it.

“Hey,” Matt said behind me, grabbing my arm and turning me around. I hadn’t realized he was behind us. “I’ve been trying to tell you something.”

“Matt, we’ve gone over it all...” I started to say, truthfully thinking that if Lola and I hadn’t come up with it, Matt wasn’t going to either.

Now he grabbed both of my arms, and his strength brought me out of my head. He turned me directly toward him, his irritation fueling both my fire and the heat of the night. He let his grip on me go a little as he spoke.

“What about the place you brought me? Where you taught me about my gift? You
