Chapter 14

Josephine groped in blind panic for something tangible to hold onto in the inky darkness surrounding her. She couldn’t remember what had happened so she assumed dark magic was to blame. After several moments of taking furtive steps and finding nothing she realized she was no longer in her house.

“Helen! Alice! Can you hear me?” Josephine shouted.

Her voice echoed as though it traveled across a great expanse. She knelt down and her fingers touched the ground which was completely smooth and room temperature. If it was composed of a type of stone, there should be some texture. She frowned and tried to pick up psychometric energy but there was nothing. Josephine reeled in shock at the complete absence of energy. It just wasn’t possible to completely remove everything. She became aware of something approaching her. It was far off in the distance and she couldn’t focus on any details yet. Josephine straightened to her full height and flailed mentally for energy. She was cut off completely from any power source. This just wasn’t possible. As the object came closer, she could see it was a person but the details were still out of focus.

“Stop right there! I’m prepared to kill you if I have to,” Josephine said.

The assailant halted and paused before speaking. Josephine’s heart thudded in her chest as she waited for a response.

“Is that the thanks I get for using that stupid claro mentis enchantment like you asked?” Alice’s voice floated to her ears.

A surprised and relieved laugh escaped Josephine’s lips. Her memories came back to her but they were faded. Alice had instructed her to lie back and relax so she could perform the enchantment to link with her subconscious.

“I forgot what happened. I wasn’t expecting this,” Josephine said.

Alice resumed her walk and her features came into focus.

A burdened frown marred her face. “You won’t believe how long I’ve been stumbling in the dark.”

“Probably as long as I have.”

“The good news is that time moves differently here. What feels like hours to us will only be a few minutes in the waking world,” Alice advised.

“It didn’t seem like the spell was going to work.”

“Category six wizards are difficult to work on but the enchantment finally took. When we wake up, we’re probably going to have one hell of a headache.”

“So what do we do?” Josephine asked.

“I need you to focus on Mark. I’ll do the rest,” Alice said.

“All right.”

As Josephine concentrated on Mark, a memory of their time together at an Italian restaurant materialized around her. Josephine stood off to the side observing herself and Mark dining together. She remembered this night very well. It was their first date and she’d felt guilty the entire time because she’d enjoyed herself while at the same time convinced a relationship couldn’t work out due to their age disparity. Her heart warmed as more memories flooded through and her surroundings changed to reflect the myriad of scenes. Josephine frowned with confusion and she caught movement out of the corner of her eye.
