Chapter Thirteen

The appearance from the outside of the Princes’ house was different from the reality of the inside. Like so much I’d learned about Nova, nobody and nothing are what they seem.

From the outside, the home looked straight-out haunted, and I expected a ghost or two to pop out of the giant grandfather clock that towered to the ceiling of the entryway. But the inside boasted newly polished hardwood floors and an immaculately clean living room to the right with a marble fire place and grand piano. The wooden curvatures around the windows and doors reminded me that we were in a house that was probably 200 years old, but they were well-kept and added a certain amount of character to an otherwise dated home.

“Please make yourselves at home,” Logan’s father said to Ellie, Sam, and me. “Ice is in the refrigerator for your foot, dear,” he added, gesturing toward the hobbling Ellie. Then his attention focused on Logan. “I think it’s best we have a chat in the sunroom,” he said, directing Logan through the grand foyer of the home and into a small room off to the left.

Logan held on to his mom’s arm as they disappeared around the corner. Well, not literally disappeared. As they walked around the corner.

Ellie, Sam, and I just stared at one another. None of us could comprehend what just happened.

“So they really are alive?” Sam finally said. He pulled the hat from his red poof of hair and scratched the back of his head.

Unbelievable. This was just unbelievable.

“Totally unbelievable,” Ellie said while staring ahead.

I couldn’t even imagine what Logan was thinking right now. Reuniting with his parents after years of thinking they were no longer living? Craziness. But there had to be so much more to the story.

We walked across the ginormous foyer. “So it was Logan’s parents who left that note after all?” Sam asked.

“Definitely not someone playing a trick,” Mark confirmed.

We entered the kitchen to see white cabinets with marble countertops.

“Wow.” Sam rubbed his hand against the smooth, cool surface of the marble. “This is so nice!”

“But why are they hiding way out here?” Ellie asked the question we’d all been wondering.

“I don’t know, but remember the note said something about it being ‘safe’ in Nova?” I commented. “I’m sure Logan’s telling them about Mayor Masters right now, so I bet they’ll come home now that they know Nova is safe.”

“What weekdays are Logan’s parents?” Sam asked me.

I looked up and tightened my lips, trying to remember if he’d ever told me. But I don’t think the powers of both of his parents ever came up in our conversations. “No idea,” I eventually answered. “But with Logan’s cusp power, one of them is obviously a Tuesday.”

“Well, I’m sure we’ll find out the other one eventually.” Sam shrugged and opened up the door to the pantry.

“Hey,” Ellie called to Sam. “What are you doing?” She used her Monday power to slam the door shut. “Who said you can do that?”

“What?” Sam asked.
