Chapter 13

We pulled up to a rest stop somewhere in the heart of West Virginia as the light of dawn peeked over the hills. After climbing out of the RV, we all stretched and took in the cool morning breeze.

“We’re going to need to redo the spell again,” Phoenix said quietly so nearby travelers wouldn’t overhear.

It was early morning, but still the day after Thanksgiving, and there was no shortage of other travelers getting gas or walking inside the store and back.

Cordelia nodded. “Yes. We need to get more specific as to where she is. That’s one reason I don’t like using that big map, but we had to be sure she was still in the country.”

Leah went to the front of the RV and started doing some movements I didn’t understand. When she saw me looking at her oddly, she flashed a smile and said, “Just putting gas back into the tank,” as if it was the most normal thing in the world to use magic for that.

I was beginning to think being a Seer wasn’t nearly as cool as being a magic user.

“Okay, we’ll meet back here in five and do another relocation spell,” Phoenix said, eyeing the gas station’s store. “I’ve got a date with a doughnut.”

“That sounds amazing,” I said, surprising myself. Perhaps getting to actually do something in the direction of helping Brandon had stirred some of the base functions of my body.

Cordelia nodded at Phoenix and went back inside the RV while I followed them into the store, grabbed a chocolate milk and a freshly-baked doughnut, and paid with the wad of cash I’d stuffed into my pocket.

Once we were back inside the RV, we gathered around the kitchen table where Cordelia had spread out a smaller, more specific map of West Virginia that Phoenix had gotten from the store.

I sat on one of the chairs, out of the way, and happily drank the cool, refreshing milk as it washed down the doughnut I probably should have regretted eating but didn’t quite yet. The next time I weighed myself on the scale might change my mind, but I was hoping I’d done so well lately that a single doughnut shouldn’t be too bad.

The arcanists repeated their relocation spell, using the same pendant which still had my hair in it from last night. Dawn crept in through the thin curtains and for the first time in a while, I felt a bit of…not happiness exactly, but contentment without the overshadowing darkness that had followed me around like my own personal gloomy cloud the last week.

It took a couple of tries for the spell again, since it kept wanting to point out where I was and not where Rose was, but it finally pinpointed another location other than the one we were at.

“Mmm,” Phoenix said with a frown as they looked closer at where the pendant had stopped. “Hard to tell what’s there, exactly, except for a bunch of greenery.”

“Which is pretty much the whole map.” Leah pulled her lips to the side in thought.
