Chapter Seventy-One

“You’re making no sense.” Jayden was frantically flipping pages in Elizabeth’s diary. “The Flint files mentioned a sister, but there’s nothing in here about murder.”

“Trust me. There is. Because whatever’s in there,” I pointed to the book, “is in here.” I pointed to my head. I waved off Jayden as he opened his mouth. “When I touched the diary—”

“The words lit up like invisible ink coming to life,” Blake said.

I rocked on my heels. “Right. Then all the info rushed out and straight into my head.”

Logan glanced at the other two boys. “Elizabeth. She was a Scriptor?”

“You’re reasoning is sound,” Jayden nodded. “They’re the only hunters that can communicate the written word into another’s mind.”

“But across different time zones, and after they’re dead?” Blake shook his head. “I’ve never heard of a Scriptor doing that.”

“You’ve never heard of Ernest Hemmingway either,” Logan said.

Blake made a face. “That jerk from third period?”

I scanned the room like a stone skipping on water until my gaze settled on a far wall. I ran to it and slapped my hand over one of the Latin carvings. Stone rumbled, the smooth surface cracked in a rectangle, and a drawer slid out from the wall. I pointed to the leather bound books stacked inside.

“These are more of her diaries during the years that she was here in Gossamer Falls. But those — Blake lift me up.”

Hands on my waist, Blake raised me up to sit on his shoulders. I braced a hand on the wall, put a foot on his shoulder, pushed off his head with my other hand, put my other foot on his other shoulder, and managed to stand up surprisingly steady. At this height I could touch some of the higher writings. I ran my hand over a carving to my left. More rumbling and another drawer unrolled from the rock.

“More diaries,” I teetered on tip-toe, Blake remaining rock-solid beneath me. “This and another level have ones from when she was living with the Divinicus. In Europe mostly, but they traveled a lot for security reasons. And those,” I pointed to the uppermost levels then moved my finger around the room “are the diaries written by or about all the other Divinicuses — or is it Divinic-i? — over the centuries. A complete history.”

Jayden’s eyes tracked slowly over the room. He swallowed hard and cleared his throat before speaking in a hushed, reverent tone. “You’re telling me that we have…the Divinincus Nex Chronicles?”

I patted the stone. “Guess so.”

“But that’s impossible.” Jayden’s thumbs popped in and out of joint. “You’re talking about something the Mandatum guards with the utmost secrecy and security.”

“Whatever.” I shrugged. “Moving on. Blake, catch.” I jumped into the air, legs straight, toes pointed, and dropped into Blake’s waiting arms.

“Nice, babe. We could be cheerleaders together.”

“Sure.” I popped from his arms to my feet, darted over to the tall stone bookcases, and swiped my hand over the spines. “These are re-creations of all the books Elizabeth ever read. Including, but not limited to, Mandatum stuff.
