Chapter 4

“If he was just going to leave like that then you didn’t need to be on a date with him. You don’t need a jerk in your life,” I said.

She nodded and I hugged her.

“You’re too good for him,” Nicolas said.

“Much too good for him,” Liam added.

I looked up at the sky to see if there was a clue. Nothing was there other than the expanse of glittering stars. I was beginning to think that the spell hadn’t worked.

Nicolas squeezed my hand. “Don’t worry. Give the spell a few more minutes before you give up.”

He had read my mind. I glanced down at the sidewalk and noticed a piece of paper. It was part of a newspaper. It had an address for a local shop. I picked up the paper and tossed it in the nearby trash can. The paper flew out of the trash and landed at my feet. Since there was no wind I figured this was my clue.

“I think this is the clue we’re looking for,” I said.

Liam leaned in close and read the address. “Let’s go.”

It was a short distance to the bookstore, so we walked. There were no lights on in the place but the front door was open.

“That is odd,” I said.

It gave me the creeps. It felt as if someone was luring us into their trap. They probably were. We stepped inside the darkened building. Books lined the shelves and a couple of leather chairs were placed near the front door. We’d barely made it inside when Superman appeared. My mother let out a little gasp.

“What are you doing here?” Nicolas asked.

“Better yet, why did you leave my mother?”

He gave us a confused look and then said, “I am sorry. I’m not sure what happened. One minute I was in her shop and the next I was here.”

I looked at him suspiciously. With the weird things happening around Enchantment Pointe lately I couldn’t say that he was lying. It was very possible that something like that could have happened.

“Are you okay now?” Liam asked.

Something seemed off about him. But I figured he was just confused after what had just happened.

“Do you know who owns this shop? Where are they?” I asked.

He shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Why don’t you all go outside while Liam and I look around for the shop’s owner?” Nicolas asked.

I nodded. I was just glad that I didn’t have to deal with this on my own.

Liam and Nicolas looked around while we went outside so Superman could get fresh air. As we stood on the sidewalk waiting for the men, another piece of paper floated to my feet and stuck to my shoe. I knew that it was meant for me. I reached down and picked up. This time it was just an address.

“Do you recognize this?” I asked.

My mother and Superman looked at it and shook their heads.

“I’ve never seen it,” he said.

“I don’t know,” my mother said.

Nicolas and Liam stepped out from the shop.

“No one is there.
