Shelly was pale and trembling in the cold night air when I finally reached her side. The

nightwalkers that passed her watched the earth witch with slitted, hungry eyes. It had been a

long night, a long battle already, and she represented a quick, warm meal.

―Cynnia is safely asleep in the basement,‖ Shelly said. ―I thought it best if we put her as

far from their reach as possible.‖

I shot her a wry smile and nodded, resisting the urge to pat the witch on the shoulder.

Between the fight at Ollantaytambo and now the war zone that surrounded her at the

Sanctuary Lodge, I was willing to bet that she was already on overload. ―Good. Don‘t worry.

Your job is almost done. I just need you to complete a couple more tasks for me.‖

―And then what?‖ she demanded, taking a step back, so she was partially hidden behind

the hulking figure of Danaus.

―And then you get to sleep. Just sleep. It‘s been a long night and you‘ve earned a little

sleep,‖ I soothingly said. My voice dipped down into hypnotic tones, embedding the thought

of sleep into the deepest reaches of her brain. I knew I would need to call on that suggestion

later that night.

―Oh.‖ The single word escaped her in a whisper, but I noticed that she still didn‘t move

out from behind Danaus‘s form.

―I need you to do a protection spell over the entire Sanctuary Lodge. I need you to make

sure that it won‘t burn,‖ I said. ―I‘m assuming you know that spell.‖

―Of course.‖ Shelly stepped closer again, her chin raised a little higher at the idea that

she might not be familiar with one of the most basic of spells. It was simply a couple of magic

words and a symbol written in ash over the place you didn‘t want to burn. It was so basic that

even I knew how to perform it. All nightwalkers did. The spell wouldn‘t allow a structure to

burn.

―Good. Go over the entire lodge, from top to bottom. Get a few nightwalkers to help

you. We need this done quickly,‖ I said, raising my voice a little so I would be heard by any

nightwalker within a few feet. ―Don‘t worry. No one will touch you.‖ At least, they wouldn‘t

now that I‘d thrown that promise into the air with an edge of a threat.

Shelly nervously nodded to me, then turned and went back into the dim light of the

lodge.

―Will it be enough?‖ Danaus asked as we stood together in silence for nearly a minute

outside the lodge. ―The spells you‘re working?‖

―The fire spell will keep them from setting the place on fire, which I honestly think will

be their last resort,‖ I slowly said. The growing lightness was starting to wear on me, and I

suddenly found myself longing for my own bed back in Savannah. ―Their first desire will be

toËsir Th try to acquire Cynnia alive, which will mean getting past the Soul Sucking spell

Stefan and I are creating.‖

―The Stain?‖ he said.

I nodded, then motioned for him to follow me into the lodge. ―The Soul Sucking spell

will drain the energy from any creature that enters the perimeter Stefan and I have created

with the fire.
