Chapter 7

Vanessa wiped her eyes. If Seth saw her crying he’d doubt all over again that she could handle this. Even if I can’t, I’m not letting him go alone. Then she laughed and gave up wiping away the tears. “Honestly, your Void doesn’t stand a chance. I’m an emotional mess, an emotional bomb.” A woman falling in love. “Plan A, you grab Josh, we prevent the shield spell going up, and we destroy it. If we’re too late, we go to Plan B. You deactivate the spell so that we can destroy it, then we grab Josh and I kick him in the balls for being a terrible human being.”

Her suggestion of violence won a laugh from Seth and the dark gray of his hazel eyes shimmered a shade lighter. “I should have known you’d realize that the priority is destroying the spell. Anything powered by human sacrifice doesn’t deserve to exist. Can’t be allowed to exist.”

“I agree.” The rich aroma of the coffee wove around them. She reached for a mug while keeping one arm around him. “Why does Svenson want a big-ass shield spell anyway?”

“Good question. I don’t think Josh will have those answers.”

She offered him the mug. “What about Andrew?”

He swallowed some coffee. “Andrew can’t be trusted. He’s devious and self-centered, and that could be to our benefit. He’ll know more about Svenson’s plans than Svenson would be happy with. It’s in Andrew’s nature to be looking for an advantage he can exploit.” He gave her back the mug. “We need to eat before we go.”

“Do you know where they are?”

“I can find them fast enough. They know I’m—we’re—after them, so I don’t need to hide my magical signature.”

She gave him a squeeze for that we’re. “Okay.” She took a deep breath. She could handle the shift from intense emotional discussion and worry about the implications of a spell powered by human sacrifice to practical matters. Death magic would have to wait till she’d considered the food options. “Bacon and eggs?” They were an any time of day kind of meal.

“Mmm, bacon,” Seth teased, helping ease them both firmly onto everyday matters.

She kissed him a quick, smacking kiss on the lips before stepping back. “I’ll cook. You find Josh.”

Seth found Josh and Andrew’s current location a few miles south of the cave at a dude ranch. His most detailed map of the area indicated an entrance to the ranch some distance from Josh’s exact location. He showed Vanessa while they ate. “The main house is likely to be here, nearer the entrance. Andrew must have rented, or identified, an empty guest cabin.”

“Why not base themselves there in the first—the yeti!”

He nodded. “Now that it’s free, they have no need to stay in the cave or in the mountains.”

A cold, foreboding shiver snaked down her spine. “We have to hurry.”
