Chapter Fourteen
The Long Way
Early the next morning, a text from Kingsley awakens me.
Not only is the boat ready for us at the marina, but Kingsleyâs on his way here to pick us up in his truck. Oh, and horse trailer, too. Whoa! King of short notice, I suppose. Then again, I did tell him we needed to do this quick. And clearly heâd spent the evening putting this all together for us. Good man!
I hop out of bed and go wake everyone up.
We hurry through breakfast and make our way outside. Kingsley goes out the front so he can pull the trailer around back. I kind of feel like a member of a presidential (or celebrity) security detail as we escort the unicorn around the side of the house to the front. All Iâm missing is the earpiece with the squiggly wire going into my shirt collar. Kingsleyâs truckâan enormous black king cabâis parked there. Itâs really fancy and shiny, completely opposite the horse trailer presently attached to it. That trailer looks like itâs been in use for decades. Itâs clearly a rental.
Paxton pats the unicornâs mane and explains to her about the concept of trucks and trailers and moving her to the marina so we can get on a boat. The unicorn does seem fearful of the modern technology, though sheâs too sad and weak at the moment to offer much protest.
Iâm sure if the world had enough magic in it, she couldâve teleported herself to the marina, or even raced there herself. Paxton wouldâve had to stay with her, which means riding her. I wonder⦠would the unicornâs invisibility have hidden her, or would people have seen a young girl flying by?
Bah. Bad idea, no matter how you look at it. It would be one thing if they had nothing but forest to ride through to get to the coast. Thereâs too much city and people in the way. Something tells me the unicorn would get hopelessly disoriented downtown.
Itâs at this point I notice Maple sitting atop the unicornâs head. Not sure where she came from, but hey⦠Iâm not about to turn down a little more help. The sooner we get this critter back to where she belongs, the better.
Kingsley opens the back end of the horse trailer.
âCan I ride in there with her?â asks Paxton.
âNo way,â I say at the same time Kingsley says, âNope.â
âAww.â Paxton stares down.
âItâs not safe.â Anthony shakes his head.
She gestures at the unicorn, who is presently staring at the ramp with suspicion in her glowing blue eyes. âWhy is it safe for her and not for me?â
This is the part where I try to figure out a way to say itâs not as big a deal if a horse gets hurt as it would be if a person does without setting off a storm of crying.
âItâs a horse trailer. Itâs not a people trailer,â says Tammy.
Ooh. Nice. Thank you, Tam.
âSheâs not a horse.â Paxton folds her arms.
Dammit. I chuckle. âItâs illegal. If someone sees you in there while weâre driving, theyâre going to call the police.
