Chapter 7

Rori

I walked into the white room where Dad waited for me, my head held high, doing everything I could to not give myself away.

Thinking of Chas and the serious face he always wore, I did the same. Or close enough. The guard stepped back to the door, and a quick look up revealed Tabitha and Simon were there, as well as a handful of other people in white lab coats, guards, and more magic-users.

From their serious looks, it appeared I wasn’t the only one up to something today.

I let out a deep breath to get control of my nerves and shook out my hands.

“Are you ready to begin?” Dad asked in that growling voice that was not his.

“Yeah, let’s get this party started, old man,” I muttered and then lunged across the room, nailing him in the face without giving him a chance to move.

I kept up the attack, throwing everything I had into it, not letting him use his power against me—at least, not yet. If I could get the others to believe this was like any other day, they would turn their attention away. As the fighting raged on, I chanced a look up.

They’d all turned their backs.

Perfect.

Dad aimed a punch at my face, but I caught his arm and pinned it to his back.

“You have to listen to me,” I said quietly, but urgently. “You have to remember who you are, so we can get out of here.”

“You are delusional,” he snarled, flipping me over. “Enough of this nonsense.”

I was worried my pent-up power would hurt him, and hoped I’d somehow get to break through without using magic, but it looked like if this was going to work, it’d have to be done the hard way.

Frost covered my hands and as I whirled around, creating an icy storm cloud. I snapped my fingers and my staff appeared in my hands.

Just as Tabitha yelled a warning, I slammed it down with a shout, and the cloud exploded, shrouding me and Dad from the others.

Shadows flowed through it, blocking the two of us from the guards reaching in. Giving me the precious few seconds I needed.

“What is this?” Dad asked confused, panic and anger in his eyes. “Your power… this is incredible.”

“Yeah, it is because I got it from you. You are my dad, and you have to come with me.”

“You want to leave? I can’t let you do that!”

“You are my dad, Trevor Griffith. Your wife is Jodie Griffith. We have missed you for a very long time. And we love you. Dad, please,” I begged, holding out one hand, the other hand, gripped around my staff, kept the storm going. “Remember. Come with me.”

Shadows formed around his hands as he shook his head, taking a half-step back. “No…

“Fine. You leave me no choice then.” I snapped my fingers, and his staff appeared in my left hand.

His eyes went to it immediately, and he froze.

“This is yours. I want you to take it.”

He shook his head again, but the confusion in his eyes told me he remembered something.
