Chapter 13

Kenna

“We’re going to Mexico. Have you ever been?” I ask Corbin.

A light breeze wafts the scent of grease and motor oil as we cross the lot toward my mother’s Honda Odyssey minivan circa 1994. The car is older than me. I tap the roof of what can only be described as a rust bucket on wheels complete with a bumper sticker that says My honor student can beat up your honor student. My mom thought it was funny. Turns out, considering I’m part wolf, part vamp, and part fae, she was on to something.

“Corbin, meet Rhonda the Honda. Rhonda, meet Corbin.” I make a grand, sweeping gesture with my arms as though presenting a game show prize.

Corbin’s eyebrows lift, wrinkling his forehead. “It’ll never make it.”

I scoff. “She’s rough-looking, which is just what we need. The old gal will be just fine.”

My mom sidles up beside us in what I now realize is her sneaky, vampire way.

“When Kenna was little, I wanted to blend in with the other moms so I got a minivan. Never looked back. I recently got a quote for a new alternator, but the brakes are decent, although the defroster is finicky...”

Corbin lifts an eyebrow with concern.

“Rhonda has never failed us.”

“Well, there was that one time in the snowstorm,” my mom starts.

“Shh. You’ll scare him off,” I whisper to my mom. I’ll try to ply Corbin with the promise of good food. “The other day, we had delicious tacos. In Mexico, I bet there are burritos, salsa, guacamole, flautas, enchiladas, chimichangas, quesadillas…” I trail off.

“I’m not opposed to the trip, but want to make sure we get there,” Corbin replies.

“I wonder how much a bus ticket costs,” I say absently.

My mother huffs. “Rhonda will make it.”

Corbin doesn’t budge.

“The protection of the Accord spell is lifting. People are dying. We have to find Greyson and hope that he can lead us to the Klave so we can stop them from turning our world into a beast feast. I’ve seen enough movies that suggest what would happen if our kind is exposed. No matter how powerful we are, scientists will pick us apart, study us, try to use us for weapons of war. Who knows? If stopping that means taking this jalopy, then so be it,” I say in one long breath that’s threaded with desperation.

My mom gives me a reassuring smile.

“Okay, fine,” Corbin says. “Let’s go.”

He’s been kind of dreary today. Maybe that’s because we’re far from the pack and heading into uncertain territory. I prefer to think of it as an adventure. Sure, life, death, and the future of the human and magical races may hinge on our success, but still, it’s exciting. Maybe that’s just my father’s influence. I can’t deny I have a feeling we’ll find him.

My mom gives me a new phone—I didn’t tell her I killed the girl that broke my old one—obviously, that wasn’t the reason, but it sounds like something I could still get grounded for.

“Bahia Magia isn’t going to show up on the GPS.
