Chapter Three

MASSIVE STANDING STONES appeared through the haze of magic. As Malcolm surveyed the area surrounding the stones, Meredith asked, “What the hell is that?”

Malcolm was about to tell her it was somewhere in the old country, but just as the image was clearing up enough to be sure, he felt Meredith abruptly fall forward. He tightened his hand around hers and was pulled into the spinning energy of the tracking spell. Beside him, Meredith was fighting the pull of magic. Her leg kicked out and nearly hit him.

Turning himself, Malcolm wrapped an arm around her slim waist and pulled her close. The swirl of magic around them could easily tear them apart. He did what he could to calm her down and keep her still until the spell spit them out.

With an ear-popping splash, the breath was stolen from Malcolm. He felt muddy water roll around them and instinctively searched for the surface. Arms still tight around Meredith, he kicked himself up through the water and finally broke into the air. Coughing and sputtering, he pulled in a deep breath.

“What the hell, Malcolm?” Meredith exclaimed, trying to shake thick wet hair out of her face. He held her against his chest for only an instant before she shoved away from him. A fire was back in her eyes and Malcolm smiled seeing it. Glaring at him, she turned and trudged through the murky pond.

She shook the water from her hands and grumbled, “Of course a Blackwood would drop me in a pond.”

“Hey! I got you here, didn’t I?” Malcolm said, following the irate woman out of the water. True, he hadn’t meant to take them anywhere. He had just been trying to track down her blasted Dragon’s Eye, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to argue with the annoying woman, even if she was dripping wet and the sexiest woman he’d ever laid eyes on. “This is a hell of a lot more than you were able to do, Blackburn.” Malcolm was fully prepared to continue his rant when he noticed Meredith had stopped and was no longer shaking out the excess water.

“Where are we?” Malcolm whispered. He’d gotten an idea about a large local area the tracking spell had spied, but he hadn’t meant to actually travel. A tracking tunnel wasn’t even meant for transport. It had taken all his concentration to keep the tunnel from collapsing, and considering how quickly it had moved them there was no way to pinpoint exactly where they’d been dropped.

Ahead of them stood three gigantic standing stones. The overcast sky made everything very dark, but the hard edges of the stones stood in sharp contrast to the empty space around them. From under his feet, Malcolm could feel the throbbing and humming of the Earth. Its pounding power seemed to thump against his chest. In America it rarely felt this strong. Here it sang through his body.

Beside him Meredith voiced his inner thoughts, “We’re in England.” Malcolm could only nod. They had traveled through his tracking spell all the way to some back country part of England.
