At first my two new companions seemed distracted, and I was sure that we made a few circles before they led us to an abandoned lot surrounded by a shoulder-high brick wall. Iron finials decorated the pillars of the wall every ten feet. Thorny bushes lined the inside of the wall.

Kat and Cat stopped at the iron gate.

“This is it,” Kat said, jumping on the pillar. She walked around the finial, scrubbing her side as she went. “But, of course, you can’t see it.”

“They can see us though!” I scolded.

“Oh, I didn’t think of that,” Cat said, twirling around Kyrie’s legs.

“Keep walking,” Kyrie suggested. We continued down the block to another abandoned building which we could see. I ducked beside it, looking back at the empty lot. Opening my sight, I was blinded by the glittering ward which floated around an obscured building. I could see what the cats saw in it. Sparkling cat litter.

“I can’t get through that ward,” I said.

“Can you see anything past it?” he asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

“Hold on,” he said wrapping his arm around my waist. We shot into the air just above the clouds. He sat me down, and we peered down on the house which I could see from the air.

“Now I see it. The ward isn’t as heavy from above. But it doesn’t do much good for me, because I can’t see anything but the roof,” I said. “I don’t know if she is there or not.”

“What about the crystals?” he asked.

“I only have a few. I could drop one from here, but unless we are ready to dive down into that, then we need to save it,” I said, reluctantly.

“I’ll follow you,” he said.

“I know you will, but I’m not so impulsive that I don’t realize that is a death trap for both of us,” I said.

He slipped his arm around my waist and lowered us to the ground.

“You can lift me up anytime, honey,” Kat said.

“Stay away. He’s mine,” Cat complained.

“Oh! You want them all,” Kat replied.

The cats circled each other hissing. “Stop!” I exclaimed.

“She started it,” Kat said.

“Why do you fight over men you can’t have?” I asked.

“Who said we can’t have them?” Cat asked. Kyrie snickered behind me, and I couldn’t think of anything to say to the cat.

“Hello, Wynonna,” Reyna’s voice interrupted the cat fight.

I looked up to see her standing at the other end of the building. She leaned on the wall as if she had no fear of us. The cats scattered, and Kyrie tensed next to me.

“Give them back to me,” I demanded.

She laughed. “I will. You received our terms. And the good thing is, now that you know where we are, we don’t have to use the magic to conceal the building. More for me to use against you, should you decide to do something really stupid.”

“We cannot leave here. There are traffickers moving fairies, and we will stop them,” I explained.

“Well, if you and your group of misfits weren’t here, we could focus on that task.
