Chapter twelve

“Get us outta here!” I screamed, heart poundin’ so loud in my ears I could barely hear myself.

“I can’t!”

“Why not?”

“Something’s blocking me.”

“What?”

“It’s some kind of trap. My powers shut off as that first one appeared.”

The hoard was halfway up the hill now. Another thirty seconds and they’d be on us.

Blood dropped from my head, leaving me lightheaded and nauseous.

No. I gulped down bile. We couldn’t just get dragged off to some mystical horror on the astral plane. We could do anything in here.

Just had to think.

“Carvi,” I said, “Fae don’t do steel, right?”

“Right.”

I closed my eyes.

Something was blockin’ him. Not me.

Walls sprang up outta the earth around us and I imagined pulling them outta the grass, growing them with the force of my mind and a good dose of fear.

The steel walls came up and met above us, forming a hanger like thing made out of Pittsburg’s finest.

“Nice!” Carvi said as the walls melted together. He grabbed me and kissed me quick. “If I knew you were that fucking powerful, I’d have suggested that. Damn, girl! You did that like it was nothing.”

“Apparently I can do a lot when scared. Not sure how to get us outta here,” I said. “But if they can’t do steel, well, we’re safe for now.”

“If it’s Fae magic, it’ll react to the steel, even in here,” he said.

“Will it stop them?”

“Not sure for how long, but for now at least.”

The first of the little bodies must’ve hit the wall because it shook and a thump and squeal said something was thrown back. More thumps followed and I snorted, picturing the stupid things hitting and bouncing off like balls.

“So was this the plan?” I asked. “Get you in here so they could ambush you and drag you off?”

“Possibly,” he said. “It’s a fate worse than death. They’d probably think it quite fitting. I’m betting there’s more to it than that though. There’s no way they set this trap, with all these leaders here, without wanting to at least make a run at the full leadership.”

“But we got them out. Do you think they assumed you wouldn’t do that?”

“No.” he shook his head and froze. “No, they’d know I’d get everyone out.”

I slammed my palm to my forehead. “So they wanted everyone out, for what?”

His mouth dropped and he sunk to the ground. “To get them out of the wards I have around the hotel. I kept wondering why they’d do something like this, and have it hidden, but not that well. I mean, especially with a psychic. I figured it was an oversight on their part. They expected you to be out of the picture, and that maybe I wouldn’t figure it out or check Jade in enough time. It wasn’t. I’m trapped in here, at least for now, and that… I think that was just gravy. They were trying to flush everyone out of the hotel.”

“There was no bomb or whatever?” I said. “They couldn’t get past your wards, so they didn’t. They just made you think they did.
