The next time I pry open my eyes, I see the ceiling of LJâs bedroom. I have a memory of a rough shirt against my cheek and a bumpy ride, which may have been someone carrying me upstairs. Thereâs also the image of Uncle Mica hovering over me. That must have been a dream since he never comes down from the attic.
But when I raise my hand to rub my gritty eyes, a cascade of bracelets slides down my armâthe two I came here with plus another Iâve never seen before, which I recognize as Uncle Micaâs work. Does that mean he was here?
Turning my head, I see my mother beside me. She, too, is wearing a new bracelet.
Too bad the stones in the braceletsâall of themâare as silent as the rocks in the driveway. I canât hear them; I canât feel them. Their magic might be intact. They might even be effective, to a degree. But Iâm as unaware of their power as any mundane, just like I was when the family magic dragged me here, barfing frogs.
My stirring wakes Mom. Her pale eyelashes flutter. âGarnet?â
âJasper took our magic!â I wail. (Actually, itâs a whimper.)
âHeâs blocked it,â she murmurs, shifting position. âBut itâs not...it wonât be...â
Then sheâs asleep again, and a moment later, so am I.
