Chapter 8

“Okay,” Dave murmured. “I've cast the illusion spell. No one can see us, even if they look out of the window. Instead, they'll see a normal courtyard with a fake cat or two.”

Smiling, I put my hand on the fence, dragging up magic from the ley line. The impact of it jolted my body. I hadn't used much in the last few days, preferring to try and get by without wasting it. The balance of magic might have calmed, but it hadn't restored completely. Brianna's kidnap would lead me to Xvair, I just knew it. His death was the only thing that would restore Mother Earth back to her natural state.

“Can I walk through now?” Archie asked.

Nodding, I indicated that he should try. I was casting a science matter spell, making the atoms in the fence soft enough for us to travel through.

Archie had surveyed the courtyard as I reassured Brianna that we were on our way. My heart was heavy with sadness. She'd gone through so much because of me. Xvair Harvey would have a slow and painful death. I would make sure of it.

“It looks like the door to the flat is beside the pub's backdoor. We need to be extremely careful.” Dave took my hand, pulling me through the wood.

Walking together, we approached the door. Punters were filing into the pub, their heads bobbing in the windows. If only life was so simple. A human had no idea what it was like to live a life of fear and longing as a paranormal creature.

“The door's locked,” Archie announced when he tried the handle.

That wasn't a surprise, of course. Stepping forward, I joined hands with Dave, indicating that we both grasp the handle together. Smiling, he did as I asked, allowing the magic to move through him. As the magic poured from us, almost making me shudder, it clicked the lock, forcing it to release.

Smiling at one another, we lost ourselves for a moment. Sharing magic was quite an intimate thing. If we wanted to double our power, we could work on it. Although, would that mean I would be Dave's conduit for magic? Would that be a healthy thing? I wasn't quite sure how other illusionist witches lived from day to day when they had a magical partner.

“Love-birds!” Archie breathed, the sound only just reaching our ears. “Get on with it.”

Pulling back, Dave indicated that I should open the door. Snapping out of my moment of infatuation, I switched into agent mode. The handle moved easier in my hand, the click of the latch satisfying as well as terrifying. If there was anyone inside, they might have heard it.

Opening the door a crack, I listened. The others stood silently as I waited, only pushing the door open when silence ensued. Tingles shot down my spine as my foot stepped into the hallway. It was a small landing, stairs almost immediately going down to a wooden door. The area was lit by a dim bulb with no shade.
