We’d called Glenda on the way home, and she came by to make sure Shae wasn’t still spelled. It didn’t take long. Glenda gave me a big hug after warning me not to let my guard down, then left quickly.

Shae didn’t come out of her room all night. Eventually, I gave in and took her a grilled cheese, but even after feeding the beast, she barely spoke to me. I told her I’d be in my room if she needed to sleep with me and then went to bed.

The next morning, the smell of bacon drew her downstairs. I chuckled under my breath when I heard her footsteps on the stairs.

“Honey, we need to go get our stuff from Cam’s.” I turned the bacon on the griddle and tried to sound casual.

Her glare told me what she thought about that, but in case I wasn’t sure, she reiterated verbally. “I’m not going.” She yanked out a kitchen chair. Normally, she would’ve been all over me, trying to help cook. Or actually, she would’ve beaten me out of bed and had breakfast half done, but I couldn’t blame her for sleeping late. Yesterday had been pretty traumatic.

Leaving her alone wasn’t an option. “You’re going,” I said firmly. It wasn’t like I could leave her here alone. “I don’t think Cam will be there, anyway.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Why would he let us go in his home without him there?”

“He’s looking for Mary. He and Theo seem to have the best shot at finding her.” Not only were their senses heightened, but Cam was also a whiz on the internet. He was narrowing down all the Marys in a hundred-mile radius and looking for the most likely candidates. He’d texted me late the night before, letting me know the dragons would be with us in rotation, always three of them or more. He’d also asked that Shae stay home from school Monday and until this was settled.

I hated to stop her routine, but until Mary was caught and the threat to our very lives gone, it didn’t make sense to split Shae and me up. We needed protection, and there were only so many dragons. Plus, they all had other jobs and responsibilities. All eight of them couldn’t drop everything just for me.

“I want Leath,” Shae said. “And Vince.”

If she’d go without argument, I’d get her anyone she wanted. I cracked some eggs on the other side of the griddle and nodded. “We have to have three, and I can ask them if they’re available, but can’t promise anything. Who else?”

She sighed, but she gave in. “Fine. Lila.”

I nodded, but then processed what she said. “No. One of the Dragons for Hire. Lila is too new.” And as far as I knew, Lila didn’t know how to fight as a human, much less as a dragon.

“Sam,” she replied grumpily. “Nobody else!”

“Okay,” I said gently. “Nobody else. But you’ve got to understand that everything that happened in that clearing was because of a witch, not a dragon.
