Chapter Forty-Five

Hella

Hella lay exhausted on the couch in the training room of the Witches’ Wares bookstore. That was by far the most magic she had ever used, and the effort was extremely draining. Remy had suggested she sit, but it was only when Tommy picked her up and gently set her on the couch that Hella started to relax. Nervously, she watched Harrow. Had she really healed him, when witches aren’t supposed to have that ability? In all the chaos, Salem had run into a corner cupboard and hid out of sight. Now, he sat fondly above her head, his tail gently swishing. It reminded her of Harrow’s tail—not that she would tell him that.

The warlock she had kissed that day sat on the floor by the broken table, exactly where he’d fallen into the depths of Remy’s blue fire. He hadn’t moved. Hella slipped in and out of consciousness. Tommy sat on the arm of the couch by Hella’s feet, almost protectively, as Remy took her leave into the main room. Then they heard the bell chime. Evidently, Remy had reattached it. She’d left the store. Hella finally closed her eyes, the image of Harrow’s face creased in concern the last thing she saw.

Hella slept for over an hour before someone shook her shoulder. She flinched, startled as the events of the day rolled through her mind. The blue fire seared into her memory. ‘Harrow?’ she asked, sitting up. Instead, she found her mother’s hand on her arm, her dark green eyes peering into her own. ‘Mum, what are you doing here?’ Hella tried to sit up, disturbing Salem who meowed.

Her mum smiled, petting him. ‘I see your familiar has accompanied you.’ She nodded at the cat in approval.

‘Mum, what’s going on?’

‘Remy called me. I saw that you left this morning. I read your note. Are you okay?’

Hella was pulled into a soft hug. Looking over her mother’s shoulder, she scanned the room. It was just her. No father. Or brother. The warlock boys and Sian were gone too. ‘Mum, where are the others? Is Harrow okay? Where’s Tommy, and Remy, Sian?’

‘Sian gave Remy quite the reprimand, as head of her coven, for dangerous use of magic. Harrow, I think his name is, the dark-haired boy, he demanded to stay here for you. He’s in the main room.’ She raised a delicate red eyebrow at that. ‘And, the other warlock left. Tommy? He had to go back to his House to report what was going on. Sian left, and Remy’s been quiet for a while. There was a lot of tension between her and Harrow.’ It sounded like a question.

‘She nearly killed him during the spell, mum. Remy used him as a connection since Amara healed Harrow, to find her, and Meele, and… another faerie. She’s part of my coven. Someone’s sister, I think. But it all backfired. And then I… accidentally healed everyone.’ Hella frowned at the memory.

‘I heard. That’s incredible, Hella.’ Her mum smiled, proud.

‘What about dad, and Elliot? How did they take my leaving?’ Hella asked.
