“Are you all gonna stand there and just watch me?”

“Yes,” Luana was the first to answer. She was leaning against the open door of the guest bedroom-slash-workshop, her arms crossed, and her eyes narrowed.

I chuckled. “At least one of us is sincere.”

Keeran stepped to my side and handed me the vial with white crystal powder. “Here.”

I took it from him. “Thank you.”

I opened the vial and measured the powder. Then, I mixed it with the other ingredients in the mortar.

“Are you sure it won’t take too much energy from you?” Drake asked for the hundredth time. He paced in front of the table, but I decided to ignore him since that was his favorite pastime the last couple of weeks.

Luana groaned. “Ask that one more time and I’ll bite you.”

Drake glared at her.

“Stop you two,” I said, my tone firm. “If you keep bickering, I’m gonna kick you both out of this room.”

Keeran snickered. “You know you’re talking to a vampire and a werewolf, right?”

I glanced at him. “Which side are you on?”

“If I say yours, what do I get?”

I punched his shoulder, and he had the decency of pretending it hurt.

When I looked at Drake, he was staring at me, a small smile on his lips. Heat spread over my cheeks.

With Keeran’s help, and under Drake’s and Luana’s guarded gazes, I mixed the rest of the ingredients and used a small amount of magic to get the potion going.

I dropped the pestle and stared at the mortar and the thick white liquid inside.

“What now?” Luana asked.

“We should go outside for this next part,” I said.

Keeran took the mortar and Drake took my hand. We went to the backyard, where there was a larger lawn area. Per my request, Luana brought two mirrors. One was a mirror the size of my open hand, and the other was the larger mirror from the half bath.

“What do I do with these?” she asked.

“Put them down, side by side, mirror turned to the sky,” I explained. She did as I said. “Now, I’ll pour the potion over the mirrors, and supposedly, we’ll be able to see them.”

Drake stepped to my side. “Do you know what you’re gonna say to them?”

“I think so,” I said, feeling a little intimidated to meet with the witch queens like this. I wasn’t requesting their presence. I was demanding it.

They could snap their fingers and break my neck.

I pushed those thoughts and fears aside and focused on what had to be done. We didn’t have much choice here.

Taking a deep breath, I poured half of the white potion over one mirror, and the second half over the other.

Next, I lifted my hands over the mirrors and channeled my magic. A small flicker answered and retreated. Come on, I begged. I called it again, but only a spark appeared. It started warming my veins, but a second later, it was gone, leaving only cold behind.

I sighed, realizing I might not have the power needed for this spell.

One more time, I focused, calling my magic.
