Chapter Four

Agent Heriman materialised outside the cabin’s gate, along with Rose and Lisa. Erin and Jamie had chosen to stay on at the hospital, and Erin would catch up with her sister after that. Rose, Lisa and the Enforcer walked toward the cabin’s front door, while keeping an eye out for trouble or any sign of Alexis. Everything was quiet, just as it had been before. Rather than knocking on the door, Lisa let them in. She, like the other coven members, had keys to the cabin.

“Hello?” Rose called out, as they walked in. After seeing the living room empty and seemingly untouched, she locked the front door behind them.

Lisa took off her jacket, leaving it over the arm of the lounge chair, with her bag beside it.

Agent Heriman continued down the cabin’s corridor, taking a quick, careful look around to ensure they were still alone. That’s when he heard crying.

“Ladies?” he called to Rose and Lisa, as he knocked softly on one of the bedroom doors. He could hear sobbing from the other side.

Lisa and Rose hurried along the hallway just moments after Agent Heriman opened the door.

Alexis was there, and climbed up from her bed, rubbing her eyes. “I thought I was alone here.”

Lisa plucked a couple of tissues from a box on the dresser and handed them to her. “It’s alright now. What happened? We were looking for you this morning, but you weren’t here.”

This prompted more tears, which further worried those present.

“I don’t know. What I mean is I don’t remember. I went to bed – I know that much, but afterwards the first thing I remember is standing down near the main road. I don’t know how I got there, but I checked my phone and I had missed calls from you. I tried to call you back but it wasn’t going through.”

As Alexis dabbed at her eyes, Rose sat down beside her. “We’ll get it all worked out,” she promised Alexis, before glancing worriedly up at Agent Heriman.

“Do you have any memory of the hospital?” he asked. “We have it on good authority that you were there.”

She shook her head. “I don’t remember. Why would this happen? It has to be the necromancer’s doing, doesn’t it?”

It seemed likely to Rose, but Alexis was already upset enough without making it worse. Rose was tempted to tell her that Raven was better, but it made sense to wait until they were more certain about what was going on. She’d also promised to keep it a secret until she heard otherwise or the threat was dealt with.

“It’s possible the necromancer might’ve been trying to gather information about Raven or you, here,” Heriman theorized.

Lisa’s eyebrows rose, as though wondering how he’d reached that conclusion. “I suppose the necromancer might’ve lured her out and tried to get Alexis to tell him things?”

“Or her things,” Rose stated. “We don’t know yet that the necromancer’s male.”

Rose had told Agent Heriman about the rumoured information she’d gathered on necromancers in Bellasford, before they’d teleported back to the cabin.
