“Harper,” a voice called out to me in the distance. I didn’t recognize it at first. I only knew that it was the voice of a man. And that I was getting really tired of waking up in places I didn’t entirely recognize.

Had I failed in the end? Had I died? Or was this yet another vision?

A sharp pain erupted in my calf, awakening me so fast that I got the confirmation that I was alive sooner than I wished it.

I cried out in pain as a pair of strong hands held me down. Cold hands. Those I recognized right away.

My eyes jutted open. Nathaniel was above me, holding me down as someone at my feet held a wand over my calf. Red light was radiating from his arm. Nope. That wasn’t his arm. That was a wand. Eli was standing over me, healing my leg with his magic.

I screamed bloody murder and tried kicking him away. I knew it wasn’t particularly polite, but this was the kind of pain that sent one flying straight through the ceiling. But Eli’s grip was solid. As was Nathaniel’s.

Eventually, Eli let go of my leg and Nathaniel did the same. I was too exhausted to fight them anymore. I could only heave in deep breaths, then cough a few seconds later from all the smoke I inhaled.

Eli brought his fingers up to my wrist to feel my pulse. “She’ll need a couple weeks to fully recover. The magic poisoned her bloodstream. Her body will fight it off naturally, but she’ll be quite sick in the process.”

“I can care for her,” said Nathaniel.

It’s interesting being talked about while you’re in the room as though you’re not able to make decisions for yourself. But then again, I hadn’t been allowed that privilege hardly at all in the last couple of weeks. And I had a feeling that I would be granted that right less and less as time went on. Especially if Eli didn’t manage to convince his father that I didn’t need to be locked up somewhere I would never be found because of some dumb vixra prophecy.

“No,” said Eli. “She needs to stay hidden. At least until after the Congressman’s trial.”

‘What? Has the Congressman been charged with Samantha’s murder? Did Brian set him up?’

“I’ll lure the judge to give her permission to reside out of state while she recovers. Or at least until she’s forced to testify.”

“Not your place,” said Eli, as though it was obvious. “She exposed its location to the vixra when she used the tunnel. Amateurs don’t learn how to close them properly after they’re opened and leave a scar behind that can be traced.”

Nathaniel scoffed in frustration. I was definitely going to get a lecture or two for that one.

“There’s only one other option,” said Eli.

‘What option? Where am I going now?’

“What’s that?” Nathaniel asked.

“Tobias Vallas has a property where she can stay until she’s healed. We’ve watched him enough to know he’s collected a vast amount of real estate.
