Merilee sends us on our way, directing us to the pile of files she says will have at least some of the history from the year I was born. She’s “cleaning up” Cassie’s mess—which appears to mean that she’s tearing every third piece of paper into small pieces—when we walk away.

“I wasn’t making fun of you, about the dragon thing,” Cassie says, once we’re out of earshot.

“You totally were,” I tell her. “But it’s okay. I can take a little teasing. And you still aren’t getting what a sister wife is, by the way.”

We settle in on the floor, surrounded by papers. Cassie starts in, pulling a random piece from the pile. “What am I looking for?”

“I don’t know.” I sigh. “Anything…weird?”

She nods. “Anything weird happening at the school for paranormal beings run by the gods who are at war with monsters, got it.” And then she gets to work like it wasn’t ironic at all. Which it probably wasn’t meant to be.

I grab a paper too, scanning the words in front of me.

And then Laurel said to Ivy that Uncas totally said I was hotter than Pantha, which is totally true–

“Hey, Cassie?” I ask. “When they say Archives and Records…”

“Yep,” she says, anticipating my question. “Anything that’s been written down, ever. I just found a janitor’s list of supplies.”

“Great,” I mutter. “This is going to be hell.”

“Well,” Cassie looks over her shoulder, lowers her voice. “If we just told my mom we were looking for anything having to do with your dad, she could find it right away. That’s what she does.”

“I don’t want to do that,” I tell her. “What if it’s something bad? Something she might feel she has to report? I don’t want to get your mom in any kind of trouble.”

Plus, I am starting to wonder if Merilee is full of shit with her finder thing. Like maybe Cassie’s apple didn’t fall far from the tree in terms of gifts and abilities.

We read. And read. And read some more.

I learn about crushes and breakups from almost two decades ago. Notes from a class that’s no longer taught—Trees That Will Eat You—because apparently they are extinct now.

“Dragons don’t exist, my ass,” I say under my breath, then grab another paper.

I had been clicking my tongue, biding my time as I read, but suddenly, I go very still.

Student Daniel Evans fled the grounds last night. He carries with him two secrets that could ruin the Academy forever, if their existence was known. Steps must be taken.

“Cassie,” I whisper. “I’ve found something.”

She comes to my side, reads over my shoulder, then shakes her head. “No, you didn’t.”

“What do you mean?” I snap. “It says my dad’s name right there! He learned two secrets and he ran away. We’ve got to find out what they were!”

But Cassie is still shaking her head. “It’s not him. Look,” she points to the date at the top of the page. “The year is totally wrong. It’s the year you were born and students can’t have kids.
