“We have a huge problem,” my fake mom announces as she whisks into the library in the basement of my childhood home.

Or, should I say, secret library, since up until a minute ago, I wasn’t aware the house had a basement, let alone a massive library with wall-to-wall bookshelves and a domed ceiling, an illusion created by magic. A black and white checkerboard floor swirls in a kaleidoscope of patterns, and a gothic chandelier casts starry shadows across everything. The place is truly badass.

“Why in the sneaky witches did I not know this place existed?” I mutter, turning in a circle.

A heartbeat of a second later, my answer arrives as the far-left bookshelf opens, revealing yet another room. This one is far less awesome and consisting of plain grey walls and a long, rectangular table where my fake father; Hunter’s father, Liam; and a few of my parents’ colleagues sit.

“Oh, the society is here!” Opal claps her hands and bounces on her toes. “Let me tell you a riddle.”

“For the love of all powerful witches, what the hell is that?” Liam gapes at Opal in disgust.

He looks like an older version of Hunter, only his blond hair is cut short and combed neatly. He’s also wearing a button-down shirt and tie, a style similar to what the old Hunter wore. Not the new, apparently real Hunter, who’s kind of Goth mixed with a bit of bad boy.

I blow out an exasperated exhale at the reminder that I may not know the real Hunter. Well, I pretend to blow out an exhale, since ghosts can’t breathe.

My mom sighs as she pulls out a chair. “This is Opal.”

Liam’s jaw drops. “What the hell happened to her?”

My mom massages her temples with her fingertips. “I’m not sure yet. All I can get out of her are riddles, and most of them make no damn sense.”

Opal plops down in a chair and pinches her squeaky nose. “They’d make perfect sense if you’d think bigger than what your brain is expanding to. Just open your eyes and look right in front of you. You’ll see.”

My mom crooks a brow at Liam. “See what I mean?”

“We need to figure it out and reverse the effects before she gets permanently stuck like this,” my dad—fake dad—intervenes, loosening his tie.

I swallow a lump wedged in my throat as I painfully realize something. I need to start referring to my fake parents by their real names, because Mom and Dad, even fake mom and dad, doesn’t work anymore.

Sucking back the tears threatening to pour out, I drift over to an empty seat and sit down. Well, more like hover above the chair.

“You don’t think this has anything to do with Plan Elimination, do you?” my fake mom—I mean, Julie—asks worriedly.

Liam tosses a distrustful glance at the witches and wizards sitting around the table. “The only way that could be possible is if someone outside of our inner magic circle found out about our plan. And the only way that could’ve happened is if we have a traitor in our midst.
