Chapter Eighteen

“My god,” Sam said, shaking his head in disbelief as he looked over at Anjali. “You realize what this means, don’t you?”

Anjali had a shell-shocked expression on her face. “There’s no way. It’s impossible. Willow, are you sure you’re telling the truth?” The question wasn’t asked in a rage, as it might have been fifteen minutes earlier. Anjali had moved past her rage to pure shock, although Willow wasn’t exactly sure why. Everything about this situation confused her.

Willow shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Anjali’s office felt hot and stuffy, despite the cold winter outside. “I’m not lying to you. I know better than that. I know you’re one of the best wizards around at performing lie-detecting spells.”

Anjali looked over at Sam, who face looked just as shocked as Anjali’s. He shrugged, as if to say, “Willow has a point.” But no words actually came out of his mouth. Anjali frowned and tapped her fingers on her desk, but also did not speak for several minutes. Willow waited a full minute before she couldn’t take the silence anymore.

“What’s going on? What are you guys not telling me?”

Anjali let out a long sigh and turned to gaze at Willow. “I can’t say for certain. Only a group of investigators from Dragon Heart Headquarters can. But it sounds to me like you have mental magic abilities.”

“Okay,” Willow said slowly. All she knew about mental magic was what Locke had told her as they left the rec center, and that wasn’t much. She was growing more confused by the moment, and felt like everyone was in on some inside joke except her.

“Mental magic is rare,” Sam said, shaking his head again as he spoke. “There have only been two wizards capable of it in modern times.”

“Perhaps three,” Anjali said, looking at Willow as though seeing her for the first time.

Willow felt her heart pounding. They made mental magic sound like a special thing. Like an exceptional talent. But that couldn’t be right, could it? Whatever mental magic Willow had done had not been a good thing. She’d caused an earthquake without realizing it, and had probably caused a great deal of property damage. It’s possible she had even killed someone.

Willow’s stomach turned. She hoped with everything in her that she hadn’t killed anyone. If Anjali had heard any reports about how many students had been harmed, she hadn’t shared them with Willow.

Willow felt confused about so many things right now, and she wished she could sink into the floor and disappear. It’d be nice if there was a spell for that. The thought almost made her giggle, but she caught herself just in time. She didn’t want to have to explain to Anjali why she was laughing at such a serious moment.

What else could she do but laugh, though? Anjali and Sam were talking about things she didn’t understand, and Willow had the feeling that she was going to be in big trouble with Dragon Heart Leadership for what she’d done. No one
