Dr. Farren parked in front of an old, white farmhouse when we reached the countryside. I counted three other cars parked in the driveway.

“Darlena, there are many things you are about to learn. You won’t like all of them.”

“I don’t care. I need to understand what’s going on, and I want to find Izzy.”

“And Marcus?” Her question was gentle, but I detected a hint of sharpness in her tone.

“I guess I’m not sure if he’s worth finding.”

She smiled sadly. “You may change your mind.”

I glanced up at the farmhouse looming before us. It looked old and abandoned to the naked eye, but my senses were tingling: magic had been done here, frequently. The residue made the house almost glisten. “Is it okay for me to go in there? I mean, I haven’t sworn an oath to your group or anything.”

“That’s a chance I’m willing to take. I think everyone will understand.” Despite her words, she looked nervous. I wondered idly what she hadn’t told me about the Coven.

“Crawck!” A loud scream came through the front windows of the house, and I jumped.

“What was that?”

Dr. Farren smiled. “Julia’s parrot. She never travels without him. You’ll get used to it.”

The bird screeched again, louder, as the door opened. I was startled to see the stork-like man from the library standing there in the doorway, and I recoiled behind Dr. Farren for a moment.

She patted my shoulder. “Good afternoon, Samuel. You must have left immediately to beat us.”

He nodded, glaring at me. “As soon as the girl vanished. I didn’t think you’d bring this one, though.”

Dr. Farren pulled me forward gently. “It concerns her.”

He didn’t respond, but stepped aside so we could enter the house. The door swung shut silently behind me, and I felt a moment of fear. I glanced at Dr. Farren for reassurance, but she looked away.
