CHAPTER TWELVEâHOLLY
Holly squeezed Johnny to make sure he was still real. He groaned when she put pressure on his ribs. He was real. He was still here.
She got up and fetched water from the lake, but with sunlight flooding over the eastern ranges, the vision of last night didnât reappear. Birds twittered in the trees on the island. It didnât look like a castle anymore.
She raised the glass to her lips and took a long drink of the slippery, cool water. It filled her with curious energy. It revitalized her in unknown ways. Everything about this place fed her and supported her and built her up. It seemed to want her to solve the riddle separating her from the black lake.
Every moment she spent here confirmed what she had originally surmised. She was already at the black lake. A magical veil blocked her from it. It allowed her brief glimpses of the haunted world beyond, and then it snapped her back to this landscape painted with tranquility and sparkling colors.
She straightened up to take the glass of water back to Johnny when she spotted a flash of movement across the lake. She lifted her eyes to the ledge where she lost Loch yesterday. While she watched, a brown bear waddled out of the undergrowth. He perched on the edge, peering down at the water. It was Trevor, but she couldnât tell if he saw her at this distance.
He looked around him and then sauntered back into the forest at a leisurely pace. Her heart flipped in her chest, but it immediately settled. If she took off running right now, she wouldnât make it there in time to catch up with him.
She waited, but he didnât come back. She returned to the house to find Johnny getting dressed. She halted in the doorway, holding the glass. âWhat is that? Where did you get those clothes?â
âI found them in the dresser over there.â He nodded across the room. A wooden dresser with four drawers sat against the opposite wall. It definitely wasnât there when Loch and Holly first showed up here. Holly would have noticed that when she first entered this house.
He pulled a pair of jeans over his legs and found a white t-shirt and a plaid button-up shirt, all of which fitted perfectly. âIt looks like someone knows my size.â
She set the glass on the night table and went to the fridge. She retrieved four sandwiches and put two of them next to the glass.
She sat down on the bed to eat her own. She wadded up the wrapper and put it aside. âI just saw Trevor out there.â
His head snapped up. âWhere?â
She waved toward the door. âOn that ledge where you got in a fight with Loch. I donât think he saw me, and then he walked away. He may have followed your scent trail there.â
He went back to rolling up his sleeves. âWell, weâll go take a look and see if we can find him or any of the others.
