Chapter 12

Something woke Leif. He lay still in his bed as the rosy sunrise filtered through his windows. The window muntins cast crisscrossed shadows on the wall. He blinked and strained his ears. Reed was softly snoring in the bed across the room.

Tap, tap, tap.

Leif turned his head. A huge owl was tapping its beak on the window above his bed.

Tap, tap, tap.

The tapping was more insistent this time. The owl reached up one claw and scratched at the glass pane, her talons leaving marks in the frost.

Leif scrambled up on his knees and unlatched the window. He didn’t really know why he was opening it for an owl, but his gut told him it was the right thing to do. He backed away as the bird hopped over the sill and soared into the room, landing on the top of his dresser. A small portrait of Mae leaned against his toolbox. The owl scooted the portrait with her beak, pinching it in her mouth. She screeched.

Slowly approaching, Leif’s mind spun. The carving he’d given Mae before she left. The owl before him had the same curve to her beak. She was bigger, of course, but this was his owl. Except there was something around her neck. He reached out, touching the braided strands of red hair. Gently he pulled it off the owl and turned it in his hand.
