Chapter 12: Jackson

By the time I woke up, it was evening, nearly 6 p.m. already. I stretched, my head pounding as I got out of bed. I hurried to get ready, wanting to find Alicia as soon as possible in order to explain myself to her. I left the hut and headed straight to hers. I knocked on the door, waiting nervously, impatiently for her to answer. All I wanted was for things to be as perfect as they had been just before I’d seen the princess and she put me under her spell.

I waited for a moment before giving up, then hurried to the medical hut, hoping she’d be there despite the fact that it was after the time she usually went home. I knocked on the door there and one of the other doctors answered.

“Hello,” the woman said with a smile. “Did you have an appointment? I didn’t think we had anything scheduled.”

“No, no appointment,” I said. “I’m looking for Dr. Thomas. Do you know where she is?”

“She’s gone. She left this morning.”

“What do you mean, she’s gone?”

“She’s taking some time off. Went home to visit her family, I think. She left a note with the address and number in case we need to get ahold of her, but I told her I wouldn’t bother her—”

“I need the address,” I said to her. “I need to go find her.”

“Why?” the doctor asked.

“If she asks, you found this in the trash. I don’t want her getting upset with me for giving it to you.”

“Thank you, doctor,” I said to her with a nod, looking at the paper. I recognized the address as being in a suburb of the city. I nearly jogged to Sophie’s hut and knocked, praying she was there to take me back to the station. I was more than willing to walk through the woods on my own, but I knew it would save time to drive. I was grateful when Sophie answered the door.

“Hey, Jackson,” she said. “How are you feeling?”

“Not great,” I admitted. “I...need to go see Alicia.”

“She’s taking a break,” Sophie said. “She told Gabriel this morning.”

“I need to find her. I have to explain. I need to go to the city.”

She stared at me for a moment.

“Okay,” she said. “But you have to promise me not to bother her if she doesn’t want to see you. I’m not taking you there to stalk her.”

“I would never. I’m just going to try to get her to listen to me for a minute. I think I can explain, I just...need to see her.”

“Okay,” Sophie said, grabbing her keys from the table by the door. “I’ll take you to the station.”

“Thank you,” I replied. When we got to the station, I climbed out of the Jeep, thanking her again before going inside to call for a ride. I waited until a
