Chapter Nineteen

Luckily no guards follow us as we head for the white building. The trek seems to take forever, even though it’s only a few feet away. Maybe it’s due to my fear that I’m sending us into a trap. Renaya does seem like the real Renaya, but I’m new here. I don’t know everything about magic, all the tricks. I also don’t know Renaya well, so I can’t say for sure if she’s who she says she is.

I shake my head. All this paranoia and speculation is going to cause my brain to pop. It’s smart to be wary, but how much more of this can I handle? How much more heartache? Greif? What if my Sebastian never wakes up? How am I going to go on without him? How will Renaya deal with it?

When we reach the building, Renaya’s head turns right and left. I follow her gaze. Again, there doesn’t seem to be any guards in the area. I don’t have time to get a good look at the house because Renaya places her finger on her lips and pulls me to the back of the house. It doesn’t look like a typical backyard I’d find on Earth. There is no pool or barbecue grill. No basketball hoop or any toys. Just more grass, trees, and flowers.

Renaya leads me deeper into the backyard. She checks again for guards before bending down to the ground and tapping the mud two times, pausing for a second, then tapping it another three times. She sits back on her knees and stares at the spot. I stare at it, too, wondering what the hell is going on.

About thirty seconds pass before the mud is pushed aside to reveal a door. I get it. This must be a password. Renaya raps her knuckles against it five times and the door opens. She nods to me, then motions for me to slide inside.

I back away. I’m not too keen on jumping into unknown holes. Who knows what could be down there?

“It’s safe,” she assures me.

“Is it okay if you go first?” I can’t help but still feel suspicious whether or not she’s the real deal. I’ve watched enough movies to know never to be the first to jump.

She shrugs and jumps in. I try to peer inside to see if she made it, but all I see is black.

“Princess Lily,” she calls. “You can jump now. But first, hand me my brother.”

“I can’t see anything.”

“That’s fine. I can see you and I’ll catch Sebastian.”

I squint to try to see something—anything—but it’s still pitch black. “Okay,” I say unsurely. Using my magic, I lift him off my shoulder and watch him float above the hole. His eyes are still shut, his head hanging back like it can’t support itself. I turn him so his feet are dangling right above the hole before I slowly lower him down.

“I got him,” Renaya shouts. A breath I didn’t know I was holding leaves my mouth.

Now it’s my turn.
