andering alone on unfamiliar streets, I lose all sense of direction. Every curved stone alleyway appears the same. What should I do now? Where should I go? Since I appear to be stuck here—and I’m still not quite sure what “here” means—and Steve only seems to care about himself now, I’m not sure where to and who to go to for help. I pause at the intersection of two streets, biting my lip. Maybe that math professor Jake mentioned could help, but I’ve no idea where his office is. Too bad Jake didn’t tell me.

After walking a bit farther, I spot a corner kiosk with the word INFORMATION blazed in red letters across the top. I hurry over, searching for directions.

A college-aged woman sets aside her bottle of bright pink nail polish. “How can I help you?”

“Hi. I’m Emma Roberts. And I’m sort of lost.” My eyes are drawn to her fingernails. So, even though there’s no hair gel here, there’s still nail polish. I guess someone has their priorities in order.

Cari (or so her name tag reads, with a star over the “i”) peers at me as if I’m a curiosity at a sideshow. Or else she can see the extra spirits I still carry around. “Emma Roberts? I heard about you.”

“Great.” I clear my throat. “I have a reputation here already?”

“No.” Cari fidgets with her perfect hands. “Someone stopped by looking for you.”

“Who? Jake?” Maybe he can take me to the math professor.

“Nope.” She lowers her voice. “The Faded Witch. I don’t know her real name… nobody does. Except maybe Sam Metzger-he hangs around her like a little lost puppy.”

“The Faded Witch? Who’s she?” So I’m not the only witch here. Interesting.

Cari leans forward to whisper, “I heard she’s cursed.”

“Why?” Oh dear. Then I probably am, too.

“She threw something out of balance back on Earth. She’s cursed to grow ever more worn and haggard until the balance is restored.”

“How’s she supposed to do that?” Not that I’m here to help her. I’ve got enough on my hands already, right?

Cari’s eyes widen. “I’ve no idea. She’s never even talked to me before-that is, until she asked about you.”

Great. Another dead person with a problem I’m supposed to solve. Trouble is, I’m kind of a mess right now.

“Where is she?” I glance down the nearest alleyway to check for any crouching witches with green skin and a black hat. I don’t see any, but we’re not in Oz. At least I don’t think we are.

Cari shrugs. “Who knows?”

“I guess I’ll deal with her when the time comes. But for right now, I need directions.”

“I can help you with that.” Cari pulls out a shiny yellow notecard. “Where do you want to go?”

“The math professor’s office. Is there only one?”

She tucks her hair behind her ear. “Yep. That would be Professor Parker.” She turns the note card sideways and writes information kiosk #2 on the top, and Prof. Parker’s office along the bottom edge. Then she sets down her pen and waits.
