In love with Marcus? No, she couldn’t love him. Loving him was dangerous and would make her vulnerable. She never planned to be in that position again. She had to take care of the Others. They were her priority, the only one she could have right now.

“In the meantime, I have something that might help.” Bethany reached into one of the pockets of her cargo pants and pulled out a crystal on a chain. “I know Marcus explained to you about the ley lines.”

Lori nodded. Bethany touched the stone and the crystal suddenly began to glow with a dim light.

“This is a crystal from one of those ley lines. By wearing it, you should be able to draw on Mother Earth’s power. I think you’ll find it much easier and with a little exercise, your mental and physical energy won’t take such a hit when you use your power. I want you to wear it and practice your ability.”

When Bethany placed the crystal onto Lori’s palm, it immediately flared with a bright light and a slight vibration began to pulse through it. Her eyes widened as she glanced at Bethany. “Is it supposed to do that?”

“Yes, but I’ve never seen one flare so dramatically. Your power is very strong.” Bethany tapped her chin speculatively. “With a little practice, you’re going to be able to harness it better which will make it more effective when you need it.”

Lori had thought she would cross the Veil within the next twenty-four hours to help her friends escape, but as she considered the crystal, she could see the wisdom in becoming stronger.

“I’m not sure if it’s something you did or if Mother Earth has decided she’s healed for long enough. She may have decided to let us have our freedom again and figure it out for ourselves. I think the Veil occurred as a natural reaction from the Earth’s defense system to protect itself from man’s destructive nature. The Predators change in behavior may just be the first sign of our world changing once again.”

“You say Mother Earth like it’s a living breathing entity.” Lori had never been particularly religious before or after the Veil. But this idea seemed to go beyond that of a shadowy, never-seen God punishing the world at his whims which signified the general teachings she’d heard before in the ES.

“Yes, of course it is. How can you even doubt that after seeing the power pulsing through the ley lines? Our family practiced the Wiccan religion before the Veil so Brooklyn and I have always had a healthy respect for the power within the Earth. That’s only grown since the Veil moved in. I believe Mother Earth became fed up with humanity hurting her and decided to take action against mankind. She didn’t do it to hurt us, though. I think she reacted in simple self-defense and then once she realized what she’d done
