Chapter 21

Fenix was dying to get into the warehouse with the sweet smells from Alda’s medicines, the enchanted plants in the garden, and even the chaos of the centuries worth of junk Alda hoarded on the ground floor.

Alda’s mass of wiry hair was stuck out Fenix’s window. The bedsheet still hung along the wall. It seemed the witch spotted them because she immediately disappeared inside.

A few seconds later, the front entrance creaked open.

Alda came running out with her arms outstretched. “Give him to me,” she said.

Micha didn’t break his stride. “Just hold the door open for me.”

“He’s my charge. Give him to me.”

“If you don’t hold the door for me, I’ll have to kick it down.”

Alda grunted and ran ahead to let them in.

Fenix felt spent, totally drained. It was as if the events of the previous night and in the abandoned warehouse had sucked almost all the energy she had. She could barely keep her eyelids open.

Micha tramped through the garden. The makeshift sled bearing the man in the purple robe clanged and clattered as it bumped along the rough stones of the pathway.

“What’s this?” Alda said. The witch pressed her back against a pillar as she let them pass. Her eyes almost bulged out as she followed the movement of the toboggan.

“A subject for interrogation,” Micha said.

He marched resolutely toward the staircase at the same pace he’d kept up outside. His powerful leg muscles would have had to work extra hard because the sled twisted, bounced, and sometimes got caught in roots and branches.

“How dare you?” Alda said as she caught up to Micha again. “How dare you bring a stranger into my place?”

“I couldn’t leave him where he was.”

“You have no right to bring this person here.”

“Fenix wants to ask him about the girl.”

“Fenix wants what?”

The venom in Alda’s voice made Fenix shudder. She guessed she was in more than a little trouble this time.

“You can deal with that later,” Micha said.

“No, we’ll deal with it now.”

“Just unharness me and secure the sled so this fellow can’t get away.” Micha’s tone indicated the matter was not up for debate. “I’m taking Fenix to his room.”

Fenix could only imagine the expression on his face and how his eyes looked. She figured Alda knew better than her that Micah was not one to be crossed.

After a brief silence, Alda disappeared behind him. His body jerked as she pulled and tugged at the harness he’d improvised.

“Fenix wants to ask about the girl,” Alda grumbled. “So, Fenix can make decisions about who enters my place now…”

Alda was still mumbling to herself when Micha, now relieved of the sled, strode toward the staircase with Fenix in his arms.

He pressed her more closely against his chest as he gingerly took the steps.

Fenix’s body suddenly felt as if it were on fire. It wasn’t an unpleasant feeling. From the tips of her toes to the top of her head, a pulsating heat rushed through her. Her mind focused on the hand that was under her arms.
