Chapter 11

The usual sensations of portal travel were there and then gone as my stomach became a whirling mess of nerves and unease. I imagined the horrible monstrosities potentially being done to my sister in a derelict mental asylum.

When the portal spat us out onto a cracked black asphalt drive, morning sunlight lit the sky. Weeds riddled the pavement, scrawny stalks of plant life stubbornly rising from the broken terrain.

The old abandoned asylum rose up in front of us, only twenty yards away. Even in daylight, it looked like something from a horror movie. Three stories tall, the building stretched a hundred feet in each direction, and I guessed that it had probably once held hundreds of patients.

“Creepy,” I said more to myself than anything, but the Fire Wolf grunted.

Vines and weeds grew around the asylum’s perimeter. Some of the vines snaked up its cracked stucco exterior and infiltrated the building through broken windows. Most of the windows were boarded up, but the ones that weren’t had obviously been smashed throughout the decades. Bird nests filled their corners, and streaks of caustic poop painted the stucco below the windowsills in streaks of white and black.

Around us, fields stretched for miles making the surrounding land seem like a sea of quaintness while the asylum was an island of death and horror.

“I’m sure it was once quite charming,” the Fire Wolf said dryly as we strode toward the main doors.

“Probably as cheery as a bouquet of daisies.”

He snorted.

Our feet tapped quietly on the asphalt, and I felt inside me for the bond with my twin sister. It tingled briefly, and then vibrating slightly as a tug of it came to life.

My heart soared. “Oh my gods, Tessa!” My pace picked up, my walk turning into a run.

The Fire Wolf tensed. “Do you feel her?”

I concentrated on the bond more, willing it to grow to life and lead me in her direction. But as soon as I reached the front door, the initial vibration stilled, and then melted away like ice on a warm spring morning.

The eagerness inside me died, and I whirled around to the hunter. “I sensed her. She’s been here recently.”

The Fire Wolf’s nostrils flared. He inhaled, closing his eyes. I watched as his jaw flexed and his fingers curled. “I can scent her slightly on the breeze. It’s not strong, but like you said, she was here.”

“And now the question is, how long ago?”

The Fire Wolf growled and opened his eyes again, his irises flashing fire. “They must be moving her. I only finished scrying fifteen minutes ago, and she was here when I picked up her signal. They may know that they’re being tracked. Whoever took Tessa obviously isn’t taking any chances. They know the longer she’s gone, the weaker her signal will become for trackers.”

“Is that how scrying works? If you don’t find her right away, it gets harder and harder to track her?”

He stiffened. “Something like that.”

“But why the hell do they want my sister? She’s never done anything to anybody.
