Learning the truth about what happened to Olivia Foster meant that I needed more information without speaking to anyone else. Not even my cousin and my aunt. I hated keeping anything from them, but there were a lot of things that I still needed to work out in my own mind.

For one, Dr. Valerio. I kept going back and forth about him. One moment, I felt he was on my side; he had been since that day on the mountain with Silvia Griffin. The next moment would then have me asking why he hadn’t come to help me that day if he really was on my side. Was he just keeping his distance to figure me out?

It was easier for me to not be so caught up in his good looks in those moments. I found myself wanting him to be good, wanting him to be on my side. But that didn’t mean he really was. He could turn out to be all honeyed words, and nothing more.

And even though I knew Cain Blackburn could have me as a snack whenever he wanted, somehow I was more inclined to trust his indifference and slight interest in me as more genuine half the time.

It was making my head hurt, and I didn’t think I’d be able to resolve it any time soon.

My first decision was to check out the site of Olivia Foster’s death. The idea of going back to the cemetery certainly gave me the chills, but like Dr. Valerio and Cain Blackburn, there was a part of me that wanted to find out exactly what was happening in Faerywood Falls. And something deep down inside told me that what happened to Olivia was tied to it all somehow, some way.

Dr. Valerio had made me think that, at least. When I moved to Faerywood Falls, it was like something changed. Bliss and Aunt Candace had said there would certainly be a shift in the balance of magic now that a faery was around.

As I walked between the wrought iron gates into the cemetery after my shift at the antique shop, I wondered with a lingering sense of guilt if it was my appearance in this town that had lead ultimately to Olivia and Burt Cassidy’s demise.

Was it because of my own magic that things had started to change? Was there some unknown power at work, trying to work against me, even though I had no clue what being a faery really meant?

These were the sorts of questions that were starting to keep me up at night.

So what exactly did you hope to find here? Athena asked from her perch on my shoulder. She’d insisted on coming with me. She was the only one who had seen Olivia’s body like I had, and so she reminded me that if anyone was going to have the ability to spot the differences, it would be her.

Besides, I have a better nose than you do, she’d kindly reminded me. You’ll need me anyways.

She wasn’t totally wrong, I guessed.
