“Can you at least put a glamour over both of us so we aren’t seen walking into the woods together in the middle of the night?” I struggled to keep up with Theo’s fast pace. He didn’t answer me, so I took that as a no.

I tugged the edges of my robe around me tighter as I walked down the street. No cars passed us; the street was dead. I wondered what time it was, remembering it had been nearly ten when Kace and everyone had left. Mom and I had sat up talking for a little while longer, but not much. Noises from another tourist rager on the beach met my ears. For a split second I wondered if it was like this year-round and why the police didn’t patrol the area more to keep control over it.

Theo cleared his throat, reminding me of his silent presence and where we were headed. The hum of a transformer on the fritz buzzed in my ears as I slipped through the overgrown brush at the entrance to the pathway.

“Why are we going to the cliff?” I asked, my stomach churning.

Why was I even going into the woods with him at all? I should have told him to come back tomorrow night, when my mom was gone, so we could perform whatever spell he wanted to in my house. My heart slammed against my ribs as I thought of this now. Dear God, I was stupid!

“Because it’s the place we became tethered. Maybe it will be the only place we can go to break it,” Theo finally said, his voice dripping with his Southern, velvety accent.

That made sense. I had to give him credit there, but it didn’t mean I liked the idea of being in the woods with him alone and at night. Goose bumps spread across my body as a sudden, incredibly horrible thought flashed through my mind—what if he’d brought me out here to kill me? My hands grew clammy and my bottom lip began to tremble as I wondered what I should do. Should I continue walking with him or turn around? If he grabbed me, should I scream? How would I explain what I was doing out here with him in the first place?

I cursed myself as I held my breath, suddenly hyperaware of my surroundings. The sound of the ocean was growing closer, the temperature a bit cooler. A slight breeze blew around me, and I wondered if it came from Theo or if it was simply nature-made. If it came from him, it had to mean he was in a good mood, right? Not a killing mood?

“What are we going to do here?” I swallowed hard, unable to bring my eyes to look at him as he continued in front of me along the trail.

“Another spell,” he answered. “Hopefully this one will work.”

“What type of spell?” I asked, pushing a low branch out of my way. It snagged on my robe, tearing a slight hole in the sleeve.
