CHAPTER 14

WE BOTH WENT BACK to bed and slept until the next morning. I had no more bad dreams after that but I wondered why Jackline remembered everything so vividly about her sister and her death, when I seemed to remember nothing about my loved ones but some faceless parents who might be worried about me. Maybe it was just as Mick had told me—no two stories were alike. Maybe what each of us remembered was individual as well.

Speaking of Mick, just as I got out of bed in the morning, he came to me. I smiled when I saw him. He sat on my bed with a grin.

“What’s with you today?” I asked.

He smiled at Jackline as she exited the dormitory and left us alone.

“You are not going to class today,” he said.

“What are you talking about?” I said, not believing him.

“I have gotten permission from Rahmiel to take you with me.”

I looked at him a little confused. “To go where?”

“You’ll see.”

“Does it involve leaving the school area?” I asked a little too excitedly.

Mick smiled and nodded.

“It does?”

He nodded again.

“But why?” I asked.

“I told Rahmiel that I thought you were ready for it. And she trusts me.”

I looked at him skeptically.

“Ready for what?”

He got up from the bed and leaned toward me. “Ready to see what spirits do?”

“Sure!”

“Well it is not the only thing we do, but it is a huge thing.”

I stopped. “But … I don’t know how to make myself invisible yet. People might see me if I go to earth.”

“I thought about that,” he said and took out a small bottle with some pink fluid in it. Then he handed it to me.

“It is an invisibility potion. Drink it and no one will be able to see you.”

I looked at him even more skeptically but took the bottle.

“Trust me, it will be fine,” he said with a smile.

I looked at the pink liquid and then at Mick. He was still nodding and telling me to trust him. Then I opened the bottle.

“Well, here goes nothing,” I said and drank it. It tasted rather good, actually. Like strawberry.

When I was done, I looked down at myself. I looked exactly the same as before. Nothing had changed. Then I looked at Mick.

“What?” he asked.

“Nothing happened.”

“Well, what did you expect?”

“To be invisible.”

“Only to humans. Are you human?”

“Well, I guess not.”

“See, no worries. I have got it under control. No humans will be able to see you now.” He reached out his hand and I grabbed it, feeling a little like Wendy going off to Neverland with Peter Pan.

“Remember no brick walls,” I said just before we took off.
