James and Alaric had been led to the Oslo Airport, where they now waited to board their flight. It was the same airport that had first welcomed them to Norway, and it brought back nostalgic memories for Alaric.

On that original flight, Madeline had slept on his shoulder almost the entire way, giving him hope she would forgive him. It had been one of the happiest moments he’d had in many years, and he’d always remember it fondly, especially because it was one of the last days before Madeline came in contact with the key. He wished he could rewind to that flight right in that moment. He doubted his upcoming flight would be anywhere near as enjoyable.

“What are you doing?” Alejandro demanded, walking up beside Alaric.

Alaric startled. He hadn’t heard Alejandro’s approach in the noisy airport boarding area. He raked his fingers through his hair and offered Alejandro a lazy smile, pretending he had just been daydreaming, when really he’d been trying to drop a note in a trash can for Sophie. He knew she would be somewhere near the airport, and would be able to smell out anything he left for her. She would not be pleased about digging through a trash can, but it seemed his best option if he didn’t want Damon, Alejandro, or Tallie to notice the note before they departed.

He glanced over at James, relaxing in the first of several rows of waiting room seats. His muscled arms were spread out onto the seats on either side of him, taking up way more space than was necessary. He was so still he could have almost been asleep. It was hard to tell for sure with the dark sunglasses shielding his eyes. Either way, he wasn’t likely to be much help.

“Just wondering why I’m not allowed to hold my own ticket,” Alaric replied, letting his irritation show in his voice.

Really, he had no need to hold the ticket. Even though he’d had to wait near the airport’s entrance while Tallie purchased plane tickets for all, with his heightened hearing he’d heard her booking their flight to Dublin, Ireland. That was what he’d written on the crumpled napkin that was now back within his pocket.

“You’ll find out where we’re going soon enough,” Damon grumbled as he came to stand on Alaric’s other side, nervously pushing his honey blond hair back from his face. “For now, we’d rather like to delay the moment where you try to kill us.”

Alaric dramatically lifted a hand to his chest. “Do you truly think so little of me?”

Before Damon could reply, Alejandro smirked. “We are all on Aislin’s bad side. This is our last chance to come through for her. If it’s a trap, you’ll just be saving Aislin the trouble of killing us herself.”

“Shut up,” Tallie ordered as she joined them, a large, soft pretzel in hand.

“What does it matter?” Alejandro sighed, glancing over at Tallie. “I’m sure he already figured out where we’re going. We can fight to the death now, or later.
