Chapter 15

{Nathan}

I took a chance and headed for Jared’s office, assuming he had made it off the beach by now. Before we left Greece, he had promised to send the gods another team of fresh soldiers to assist in tracking down the demigods. He had a busy few days ahead of him, and I assumed he would get started with the planning right away. Besides, his office was close, just on the other side of the building from the Infirmary, so I wouldn’t waste much time if he wasn’t there.

No one was stationed outside his door, but it was unlocked, and I waltzed right in.

He glanced up with a wry smile on his face. “Miss me already?”

“They brought Callie in while we were gone.”

Jared straightened. “Is it as bad as we were told?”

“It’s bad.” I paused to let that sink in. Jared, like all Kala, didn’t like to see any human suffer at the hands of the Skotadi. “Jared, she looks like those villagers. Same pale skin, rapid breathing, and imminent death. It’s identical.”

“I thought you said Lillian did something to Callie.”

I nodded as I gathered my thoughts. This was the hard part for me to understand, let alone explain. “The gods said an Incantator was working with the demigods, and was the one behind the curse, and that a small group of Skotadi were helping them, right?” I paused, and waited for Jared to nod so that I knew he was following me.

“Yeah,” Jared muttered. “That didn’t make any sense to me. What would the Skotadi get out of helping them?”

“Nothing makes sense anymore!” I threw my hands up. “Why do we have Kala on the island working as spies for the Skotadi? Who’s to say there isn’t a small group of Kala out there working for them, too?”

“Okay . . . okay. Calm down.”

I took a deep breath. “The point is, Jared,” I said slowly. “Lillian was the one who did this to Callie. I think Lillian is the Incantator who has been working with the demigods on this immortality thing. There were others, I’m sure of now, back in West Virginia. The Skotadi there were kidnapping humans. We didn’t know why at the time, but I would bet the same curse was placed on all of them too. Lillian was behind it. I know it.”

“Even if you’re right, we’re not going to get anything out of her. Not with the way she is now.”

I smiled and dug the vial I had been holding on to since we left Greece out of my pants’ pocket. “And that’s why we’re going to give her this.”

Jared frowned. “What is that?”

“Circe gave it to me. She said this . . .” I held the vial up between my thumb and index finger so that the light hit it. “This could bring Lillian back.”
