Chapter Seventeen

“What happened today?” Sylvie asked.

Willow nearly jumped out of her skin. “Jeez, Sylvie. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”

Sylvie stepped out of the shadows in Anjali’s large office on the Birch Point campus. She’d been waiting for who knew how long at the end of the tunnel. Willow had been so lost in thought that she hadn’t noticed anyone else was in the room.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. But I’m worried about you. You were gone from class all day, and then Sam came in and told Anjali you were hanging around the dragons. He sounded pretty agitated.”

Willow sighed. Sylvie was her best friend here in Maine, and Willow knew she was only asking questions because she cared. But the last thing Willow felt like doing right now was to go over her day, again.

“It’s a long story, Sylvie.”

“I’ve got time.”

“Can’t we talk about this tomorrow?”

Sylvie sat down on the giant desk in the middle of the room. “I suppose we could. But I’m worried about you. You’re not going to get yourself kicked out of the Dragon Heart Program, are you?”

Willow laughed. “No. Whatever gave you an idea like that?”

Sylvie didn’t seem to think that was funny. “Locke and Cara have been bashing you ever since Sam showed up. Locke is saying that you were trying to get an unfair advantage by going to see the dragons before everyone else.”

Willow stopped laughing. “An unfair advantage? For what?”

“For the Golden Dragon Heart Award.”

“Oh for Pete’s sake. When is he going to get it through his thick skull that I’m not even interested in that stupid award?”

“It’s not exactly a stupid award. It’s a pretty high honor.”

Willow waved her hand dismissively. “Right. I’m sure it is. But I’m never going to win it. I mean, have you seen me trying to do magic? I can’t do a spell properly to save my life.”

Sylvie gave Willow a skeptical look. “Sam said you were doing a lot of magic spells and showing off for the dragons.”

Willow sighed. “So did he talk to Anjali or did he freaking make an announcement to the whole class?”

Sylvie smiled and shrugged. “You know Sam. He’s a big guy with a big voice. Even when he’s trying to whisper it’s hard for him to be subtle.”

“I guess. Well, if you really must talk about this tonight, then I guess I should get it over with. Yes, I was by the dragons. And yes, I was doing magic spells, and doing them much better than I’ve ever been able to do them before. I don’t know what happened. It’s like everything all of a sudden came together for me after break.”

“Well, I think it helped a lot that you had time to de-stress. You were wound up so tightly before the holidays.”

Willow rolled her eyes. “You sound like Anjali. Anyway, I had run off from class because the searches for my dad are being called off, which obviously made me upset. I ran
