Chapter 13

The roof was in decent condition, but a couple of the tiles were a little bit loose, and they threatened to come free as Andrea and I stepped over them. It wasn’t surprising; this was a very old house, after all. At one point, I looked down at the ground and immediately began to feel dizzy. We were a solid twenty, maybe even thirty feet off the ground right now, and if either one of us fell off this roof, serious injury was probably the best we could hope for.

“Try not to fall off,” Andrea muttered from behind me. Apparently she had just had the same thought.

“I’ll do my best,” I replied. The two of us made our way to the other side of the house, standing on a section of the roof that had no windows opening onto it, so we were completely invisible to anybody inside. I stopped, deciding we were finally safe enough to try and get our bearings and come up with a plan that would allow us to get away without being seen. Turning to my sister, I couldn’t help but notice all the blood had left her face.

“That’s funny, usually whenever we run into Alex, you’re desperately trying to get us together,” I said, sticking my tongue out at Andrea.

“Usually when we run into Alex, he’s not threatening us for investigating a murder we’re not supposed to be looking into,” Andrea replied, shaking her head. “As far as I’m concerned, until this is finished, I’m happy to stay as far away from him as possible. Then, when we solve the case before him, you can blackmail him by promising not to tell anybody that he lost to two amateurs if he’ll take you out on a date.”

“Blackmail, an essential building block to every solid relationship,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “I’m starting to understand why you’re still single.”

“Please. I’m still single because I’m just too amazing for any wizard to handle.”

“That must be it. Now come on, help me figure out how we’re going to get off this roof without being seen before we end up both single and in trouble.”

Andrea frowned. “Ashley knows a spell that makes you light as a feather so you can jump off of things without plummeting to the ground, as long as you hold your arms out. Do you know that one?”

I bit my lip. “Sort of? I think I know the words to that spell, but frankly, I don’t think this is the kind of situation where I want to test it out. If I mess it up, one of us will be having a very, very bad day.”

“Fair enough,” Andrea said with a laugh. “Looks like we have to transform ourselves into birds.”

I groaned inwardly. It always felt so strange being turned into an animal. And I wasn’t sure I was going to immediately understand how to fly. I had never transformed into a bird before. Still, Andrea was right. This was definitely one of the best ways for us to get out of here.
