I was alone again in this maze, but some of the fear had left me. Maybe I was just numb to the fear; that was quite possible. Being torn from Mac and the ghost of my mother tossed me deep into the maze, deeper than ever before.

Yet again I stood in what could only be a labyrinth, yet it was not metal or darkness this time. I stood with wooden walls that curved in an arch above my head so there was no possibility of climbing over them. Smooth, and with a distinct smell of fresh-cut wood, and earth, they reminded me of the inside of a log cabin. If a cabin could go on and on and on in an unending tunnel. Chunks of the logs were lit up every fifteen feet or so, low burning globes of light that were dull at best, but I was not complaining. I had no doubt that they would at some point flicker off.

All that was peripheral as my mind tumbled over and over my moments with my mother.

Something had changed when I’d been speaking to her. Like she’d unlocked a part of me that I’d barely understood.

I always liked your mother best.

My magic spoke quietly. Subdued.

I frowned. “What do you mean you liked her best?”

She trusted me. And in that trust, we found power and strength. If she’d listened to me, she never would have died, and I never would have been passed onto you.

I stopped in my tracks with a sharp intake of breath. I pressed a fist to my chest as if I could feel the dark magic I carried under the skin. “You warned her?”

Just like I warned you about that incubus. You could have avoided that whole scene if you’d just listen.

“Don’t act like you don’t have a part in this!” I said. The thing about finally speaking to the dark magic was that I knew I was slipping, my mind going down a slope I wasn’t really prepared for. But there was no one else to talk to. And I wasn’t about to be a scapegoat for an entity that was kind of an asshole.

I had no part in this. If the magic had been a person, I was sure that line would have been delivered with a condescending sniff.

“Bullshit. You’ve given me every reason not to trust you. Trying to take the reins from me in situations where I was protecting others! You’ve tried to force me to bend to your will and the only reason you’re behaving now is that I have some minor connection back with spirit!” I held up my one wrist, showing off the mock bracelet that had been placed on me.

I’ve been trying to protect you all along! the magic snapped back. I don’t give a shit about anyone else. You are my host, and without a child from you, I have nowhere to go should you die, so believe you me it is in my best interest to keep
