Chapter 13

A few days later, I skip my Fae History class so I can spend some time scoping out the missing door. I need to go when no one else will be around, and during classes seems like my best bet. At night, even with a curfew, anyone could walk up at any time. During the day isn’t much better, really, with faculty and staff about, but I have to try.

I pace back and forth down the hall a few times, building up my courage and making sure no one else is around. When I am sure the coast is clear, I approach the wall where the door was and run my hand over it.

Nothing.

Even though I can sense there is something there, my hands glide over a completely flat wall.

“Damn,” I mutter.

Maybe the door is gone, but the room or whatever was behind it is still there. Like the door was removed, then drywall and plaster put in its place.

No, that’s crazy. It was there one second and gone the next. There wasn’t enough time for the door to be closed.

Of course, this is Fae. Anything is possible.

Maybe someone froze me in time and replaced the door.

Maybe someone transported the door somewhere else.

Maybe someone put an enchantment on me so I just can’t see it.

Okay, maybe I am going crazy.

I sigh and step away from the wall. Leaning against the opposite wall, I think about what to do. But I don’t get very deep into my thoughts when Damon approaches.

“Imogen?” he says. “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you in class?”

Great. Of all the people to run in to, I don’t need him looking down his nose at me.

“Oh, I…uh…” I bite my lip. “I was coming to see you.”

He grunts, and his gaze shifts around. He seems nervous.

“Yeah, I wanted to thank you for showing me how to defend myself,” I say. “It really came in handy.”

“That so?” he asks as he heads down the hall toward his own office.

“Totally,” I say, trailing behind him to keep up the guise, even though my mind is still back behind me with the door—or rather, where the door should be. “I ended up paired with Lucas again, and he legit tried to kill me.”

“You don’t say?” Damon opens his door and steps inside.

I follow, uninvited. “Yeah, if it hadn’t been for Erick and the others, I think Volcanis would have let Lucas just choke the life right out of me.”

“Surely not,” he says. He rummages through some papers on his desk, but I sense he’s not actually searching for anything.

“He didn’t try to stop him,” I say, sitting in a chair in front of his desk.

“Why didn’t you?” he asks.

I shrug. “Well, I knew I could count on my friends. I didn’t need to fight back. I was remembering your first lesson.”

“Hmm?” he asks. He’s turned away from me now and taps his chin with his finger while he looks over his book shelves.

“The first lesson you taught me,” I say.
