Chapter 29

I woke to the sound of Cole calling my name as he gently shook me, “Wake up, Mara.” I smiled at the sight of him until I realized that he was holding the empty vial in his hand.

He said, with a serious look on his face, “Did you drink some of this too?”

“I did,” I said, hesitantly trying the best way to explain my decision, “I'm not sure what came over me. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.”

His face turned from dark and serious to a big grin, “I'm glad you did,” he said, with a chuckle. “Did you see everything?”

Irritated that he had pretended to be angry, I said, “I found out you really like frosting. Or do you mean the fact that my mother really wanted nothing to do with me?”

Instead of responding, he drew me close and kissed me. Melting into his arms, my anger subsided and I whispered in his ear, “You are not mad at me? I am sorry that I didn't ask you first. They were your memories. I had no right to them.”

“Of course not, I am so glad that you were brave enough to follow your instincts. I just wish that I had done the same when you drank yours,” he insisted.

Again, Cole kissed me. Letting myself fade into the moment, I kissed him back not wanting to leave the comfort of his arms. Holding me tighter to him, he ran his fingers through my hair.

Sensible as always, Cole broke away from our moment and said, “I guess it's time to go back and face another parent. We need to find out if that is Elliott and why he is really here. Do you think he really is your father?”

Exhaling, I gave up the feeling of being able to hide from all of the questions I had myself and admit to him what I was feeling. “I'm not sure what I think. I want to believe that he really is my father but everything is so complicated right now. Why did he show up last night? If he really is Elliott Stone, how could he stay away so long? Did he have something to do with Meg being taken? Was he there to distract us?”

Feeling frantic, my words flew out at a rapid pace. “I am worried that the spell will not work. If he read it, he might be able to counter the spell? Maybe we should use another? I wonder if your mother has something around here. She might have a spell that will work better.”

“Calm down, Mara,” Cole said quietly taking my hand. Leading me to the red chair, he motioned for me to sit down, “Sit here and compose yourself.”

Walking to the cabinet, he looked through the bottles. Taking several, he shook the ingredients into a small piece of cloth. Tying it, he returned to me. “Take this and slowly inhale. You need to just breathe.”

Doing as he instructed, I inhaled the fragrant lavender and peppermint.
