CHAPTER TWENTY

“How, pray tell, are we to find a witch who hides her shop?” Monet asked, as they bustled through the busy streets of the city.

The vendors yelled for the group’s attention, selling their wares. Because everyone was careful to be shut in their houses at night, the cobbled roads were busier than usual during the day. New Egypt was a kingdom used to operating during the evening and night hours, when the heat wasn’t so intense, but avoiding vampires had become the city’s chief priority.

“I’m not sure,” Azure mused, pausing and rotating in a circle.

“This is about where we were the last time we went into the shop,” Ever said at her side.

“I think it was right there.” Azure pointed to a plain brick wall where a couple of children were playing a game with chalk on the sidewalk.

The street around them faded, all of the colors suddenly muted. Azure blinked, unsure what was happening to her vision. Her feet seemed to rise off the street, and her heart felt as though it was lodged in her throat.

She was about to scream, then her vision went black.

A musty smell tickled Azure’s nose, making her sneeze. Her eyes burst open to find she was standing at the counter inside Myrtle’s Collectibles.

“How did I get here?” she asked, spinning around to find Ever and Monet behind her.

Ever shared her confusion, staring down at his arms and legs as if to ensure they were still in the right place.

Monet, on the other hand, yawned, looking slightly bored. “We’ve been transported,” he imparted. “Makes your head feel like it has been turned inside out, doesn’t it?”

Azure pinched her forehead in her hand, nodding. “Yeah, it hurts like a bitch. This is the teleporting you do?”

“Yeah, but I’m not the one who brought us in here. I’m guessing it was her.” Monet pointed behind the counter.

Azure turned to find Myrtle, one of the strangest witches she’d ever met—which was saying quite a lot. The old woman had a blue and yellow shawl covering her black hair and neck, but still the tattoos on her chest and on her chin were visible.

“Myrtle, did you bring us in here?” Azure asked.

The witch started to nod and then snapped her fingers at a lizard perched on top of a large jewelry box on the counter. “I know I could have made the shop visible, but then people would have seen it and come in here.”

“And you don’t want that,” Monet said, turning his attention to a rack of old potion bottles. “They might have tried to buy something, and that would be simply awful.”

Myrtle shook her head, her gaze still directed at the lizard. “Killing him would never go over well, although the thought has crossed my mind. However, I like the idea of adding a shrunken head with green hair to my collection.”

“Hey!” Monet objected.

Azure pulled the lamp from her bag. “Myrtle, you said that you’d tell me how to release the genie from this lamp if I brought you a weredragon scale.
