Chapter 13

THE SHERIFF WAS STILL LOOKING FOR the Bakers while his deputies looked for evidence of anyone in Nadine or Jared’s life who might have wanted to hurt them. Or even anyone who might have been connected to magic. I decided to consult over the phone that morning because I still felt weak and magical healing saps a great deal of strength – unless Juliana does it. Her gift is truly miraculous.

By lunchtime I felt frustrated and restless, and I wanted to see Ana. So I headed to Matthew and Kaitlin’s home, hoping to catch my friend alone this time.

I got my wish. Matthew had gone out to inspect possible office space for the headquarters of the White Guard. The organization had been too big to run out of his living room for some time but tradition, coupled with a desire for the movement not to turn into the Magical Underground’s evil twin, had kept us in this smaller, more intimate environment.

The living room was now crawling with babies – mine, Kaitlin’s, and the twins.

Ana crawled over to me the second I came through the door. “Ma!”

I picked her up and she tried to lift my shirt.

“Hey, easy there.” I glanced quickly at Kaitlin, wondering if I should nurse in front of her, then decided Ana’s needs were more important. I settled onto a recliner, grabbed a blanket, and then struggled for a moment to convince Ana to keep it over her head.

“Evan said you were hurt.” Kaitlin went through to the kitchen, separated from the living room area by a long bar. She was also mostly behind me, at an angle where she couldn’t see Ana nursing.

I gave up the blanket fight.

“I’m fine,” I said, angling my head so I could see her. “He healed me.”

“I figured.” She began pulling out sandwich fixings, attracting the attention of her own son, who rushed to her side to beg for a piece of the cheese she’d pulled out. She was so distracted, it took her a moment to ask the burning question. “What happened?”

“A hell hound seems to have taken up residence outside the castle.”

“It attacked?” Kaitlin paused to stare at me.

“You seem more surprised that it attacked than that it was there.”

“Well, yeah. I mean, after what you said yesterday over dinner, I figured you thought the hell hounds were guardians.”

“That’s one theory, but who was Jim threatening when he was attacked? And who was I threatening last night?”

“Fair questions.” Kaitlin returned to the refrigerator for some milk and began pouring glasses. “Another would be: How did you survive?”

“It backed off.” I closed my eyes. “I’d yelled for Evan, kind of stupidly, and then I remembered Christina has farsight and I called for her. That’s when it backed off.”

“Do you think it’s Christina’s guardian?”

I shuddered to think so. Christina was a powerful sorcerer, daughter and sister of powerful sorcerers. She didn’t need a guardian from hell; she had plenty of magic to protect her.

Or did she?

Ana popped up suddenly and I busied myself settling her onto my other breast for a moment.
