Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bewitched to Kill

Margot

After having Mum help me to shower, I dress in a loose, summer dress. I still feel a little hot and every inch of me aches, but there’s also a crazy energy racing through my whole body. I think the energy that everyone said they could feel radiating from me has turned inwards.

The lounge is crowded with Beau, Samia, Coby, Neal, Penny, and Mum squeezed into the tiny space. They all watch me as if I’m about to spontaneously combust.

“Feeling better?” Penny asks.

I force a smile. “I still feel like my legs aren’t attached to my body, but I’ll be okay.”

Beau hands me a cup of sugary tea. “You need to eat and drink.”

“I need fresh air and to stretch my legs. I’m tired, but I feel like I’m running with electricity inside. Will you walk with me?” I ask him.

Penny makes a move to stop us, but Mum’s glare cuts her off.

Outside is chilly and I’m grateful. I’m a little disoriented and jet lagged as I kind of missed a whole night. It feels like the incident at the beach happened just a few hours ago, although the pain I went through felt like an eternity.

Beau holds me firmly with an arm around my back and the other hooked under my arm. I lean into him to steady myself. As we walk the road toward the hall, people stop what they’re doing or come out of their houses to greet us.

They are all looking at me differently, just like everyone at the cabin. I’m sure they expect me to be glowing or something.

I see Elliot sitting on the porch of a cabin with his head bandaged up. I gingerly break away from Beau to see him. He rushes down from the porch to me, wrapping me in a grateful embrace.

“I’m so glad you’re alright,” I say. “How are you doing?”

“I’m alive thanks to you. I’ve been told many stories about what happened. Thank you, Margot.”

Ally emerges from the cabin. There’s a moment where we just stare at each other, but then she, too, wraps her arms around me. “Thank you for saving my brother.”

“Of course. I know everyone would do the same for me.”

She sighs audibly. “We’re a pack. You’re part of the pack.” A smirk plays at the edge of her mouth. “Doesn’t mean I have to like you, though.”

I laugh. “God, no, we can’t have that.”

Ally’s mother takes my hand, crying and thanking me over and over. She touches my cheek like I’m some sort of rare gem. Ally has to practically pull her away from me.

I keep having to remind myself that I am who they think I am. I manifested my powers… I have powers. The thought is both exciting and scary. I have no idea what I am capable of or even how to do it.

The woods suddenly hold a lot more fear for me. I am designed to kill whatever hides inside. With that thought, a familiar, dark feeling settles over me.
