Chapter Eighteen

Through the rabbit hole

“What is this place?” Jonathan asked as he rolled off Lexie.

Lexie peeled an eye open and stared right into the sun without even blinking. Sitting up, she glanced around. There were flags posted all around them and along a road that disappeared into the distance. She thought she could see red hearts on them. A light breeze swirled around the flags and the hearts changed to diamonds. Another light breeze swooped across and the red diamonds changed to spades…

“Where’s Luna?” Lexie asked.

“She’s probably still chasing the rabbit or she might have landed somewhere else.” In the next breath, he said, “I can’t believe I’m here.”

“Yes, about that… How did you come through your inner sanctum door? I thought you weren’t allowed. Or did you only say that to avoid getting involved?”

Jonathan shrugged. “I didn’t think about it. I just had to come to your rescue.” When Lexie didn’t respond, he said, “You were supposed to laugh.” He jumped to his feet and stretched his hand down to help her up. “Actually, Luna bit me and I lunged through the door. Please tell me she has all her shots.”

“She’s magical. She doesn’t need shots.” Lexie lifted her hand to shield her eyes. “Where is the little scamp?”

“She probably went down another rabbit hole.” Jonathan raked his fingers through his hair. “I hope you know how to go through that rabbit hole again.”

“Where there’s an entrance, there must be an exit.” Making sure to stay on the road, Lexie walked on ahead. The flags flapped in the light breeze and changed again, this time to clubs. Apart from the flagpoles, she didn’t see anything but grass growing and hills undulating into the distance.

Lexie could sense something missing, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. A while back, she had felt a new energy flowing through her. It had almost felt as if she had been recharged. Suddenly, she understood what the Coven meant by insisting its members live within nature. The source of her power lay within it.

“But the real source,” she whispered under her breath, “is right inside me.” Ancient power. Old, inherited magic. The core she had connected with when she had set out to hunt down the serial killer. The Crone had mentioned it but Lexie hadn’t understood what she had meant.

Yes, but…

She brushed her fingers along her temple and tried to figure out what else was missing.

Frustrated, she gave a soft growl.

“What’s wrong?” Jonathan asked.

“I don’t know. I feel something is not right.”

“Luna will show up eventually. I wouldn’t worry about her,” Jonathan assured her.

Lexie shook her head. “No, it’s not Luna.”

Jonathan cleared his throat. “Maybe it has something to do with what you experienced.”

Lexie gave it some thought and then shook her head. Yes, she had experienced something extraordinary. She had died and now she lived. “I know I should feel something. At least elation because I’m now alive.” Instead, she felt indifferent. Almost as if she didn’t mind if she lived or if she died because it would all be the same to her.
