Chapter 20

After a few minutes of anticipation Liam drove the car around to us and we rushed in.

“Are you still sensing the magic trail?” my mother asked.

“I still have a good feel of it. We should continue straight down this road.”

My mother released a deep breath. “I’m so relieved that your magic finally works.”

We drove down the road a bit and then I said, “Make a left here.”

“You’re going have to give me more warning than that,” Liam said as he made a quick turn, cutting off a car.

They honked their horn at us.

“Sorry.” I waved at the car as it drove past.

We made a couple more turns. Things started to look familiar.

“Is anyone else getting the impression of where we’re going?” I asked.

“I have no idea,” my mother said.

“What about you, Liam and Nicolas? Do you think that we’re going back to the house where we found Dalton?”

“I don’t know what to think for sure, but I’m getting that feeling,” Nicolas said.

Lately my intuitions had been right.

“Is anyone going to tell me what’s going on?” my mother asked.

“I’ll know for sure soon,” I said. “And then I’ll explain.”

I was trying to keep the positive attitude going, but I had that nagging feeling in the back of my mind. My stomach twisted into an even tighter knot.

“This is the same path that we took before,” I said.

We turned onto the correct street.

“Exactly what I thought. This is really scary,” I said. “It’s taking us right back to the same house.”

“What’s that?” my mother asked.

“This is the house where we found Dalton. Where we were locked in the basement.”

“Oh, dear,” my mother said. “Do you think they have Annabelle in the basement?”

“I hope not, but if they do I’m getting her out,” I said.

Liam pulled the car up in front of the house and put it into park. He turned the ignition. “So what’s our plan?”

I tapped my fingers against the side of the car door. “We’ll just have to rush in there.”

“What if the door is locked?” Nicolas asked.

“You guys can break it down?”

“There’s no guarantee of that. What if they’re using strong magic?” Nicolas asked.

It looked as if I might have to call Victoria. I didn’t want to involve other witches, but it looked like we might need some backup.

“Maybe we should call the police,” my mother said.

“Well, they weren’t much help, so I doubt they will want to help us now. We need more evidence that she’s really missing first.”

Calling Detective Manning might be necessary, although Nicolas and Liam wouldn’t like it.

“You do have a point,” my mother said around a sigh.

We opened the car doors and got out, peering up at the house from our position on the sidewalk.

Just as before it looked as if no one was in the house. We walked up the sidewalk the same as before. The only thing different was my mother was with us this time.

“Maybe you should stay in the car and wait for us,” I said to my mother.

She put her hands on her hips.
