Chapter 12

Well, at least, I initially thought we were safe. We came back through the same portal from which we’d exited, and Drake was still there, looking a little bit surprised at the state of us.

“Are you guys alright?” he asked. “What’s going on?”

Kyran looked at me. “I need you to take Amy to the hospital. She needs to be looked over. One of you has to find Lita and tell her what’s going on. I’m going to tell Drake, then I’ll go see Chief Enforcer King. I’ll be in touch.”

I nodded, the relief that had washed over me disappearing almost instantly. Of course we weren’t safe. Amy had been taken from here once before. Titan was obviously able to come in, somehow.

“I need you to close the portals,” Kyran told Drake. “Immediately.”

“You got it,” Drake replied. I didn’t realize it was possible for the portals to be closed. I also didn’t realize Kyran held so much clout with Drake that he didn’t need an explanation, or anything. As soon as Kyran told him to shut down the portals, he was on it.

I had a sneaking suspicion this wasn’t the first time it had happened.

“Come on,” Ellie told me, shaking me out of my thoughts and bringing me back to reality. I nodded, hopping back onto my broom, and the four of us went straight to the hospital. Sara pulled out her phone and was talking into it on the way there—not strictly legal, but if any witch had the skills to multitask on a broom, it was Sara—and her mother Heather was ready and waiting for us by the entrance.

“Come in, come in,” she said, with Amy following mindlessly after us. She seemed a little bit dazed, not her usual self at all. I really hoped whatever she had been affected with wasn’t permanent. At least she had been able to understand Ellie when we escaped.

Heather immediately led us to a private room with a bed and guided Amy into it. She lay down without protesting, and Heather grabbed a potion from the side table and got Amy to drink a couple spoonfuls of it. Amy’s eyes immediately closed and her breathing deepened; she’d fallen straight asleep.

“What did you do that for?” I asked, alarmed. “We don’t know what’s wrong with her yet.”

“Exactly,” Heather replied. “She’s just been in contact with one of the most dangerous wizards in the world, and she’s acting a little bit strangely. We don’t know what spells he may have cast or what potions he might have given her. We don’t know what effect they’ve had on her body, or if he’s used them to spy on her here. There’s a chance he used a potion to, for example, be able to see through Amy’s eyes. Right now, her being asleep is safest for everyone.”

My stomach lurched as I absorbed Heather’s words. I hadn’t even considered that Amy might be used to get to us, or to hurt us. I had thought it was
