Sydney manages to somehow still not find the time to come and talk to me, and the moment Monday morning rolls around, I’m furious.

Silas spent the whole evening being completely shut off, too, and having the both of them being this way is too much to handle.

Deghan escorts me to Walker’s room, and ten minutes pass with no sign of Sydney.

Walker checks his watch for the umpteenth time. “He’s not usually late.”

I shake my head. I can’t believe he’s taken to this kind of extreme to avoid me. What gives him the right?

“Something must be wrong.” Walker’s salt-and-pepper brows furrow. “When was the last time you heard from him?”

I can’t imagine something would be wrong, he’s clearly just staying far away from me. “It’s been days. Thursday. But I stopped by his room yesterday, and he was sleeping.” Pretty damn soundly, though, if I remember correctly. What if I was foolish and something really had happened?

Without giving it another thought, I bolt from the headmaster’s office, running across the foyer and up the north wing stairs. I don’t knock, hoping the lack of privacy will be overlooked by my concern.

My heart seems to lurch from my chest as I take in the room.

Sydney somehow made it off his bed, the note I left him clinging in his hand, his body lying there awkwardly.

I rush to his side. “Oh god. Sydney.” I put my hands on him, trying to locate the source of whatever is wrong. “Help,” I scream toward the door.

Walker rushes in, at my side in an instant. A moment later, Silas appears behind me, wind whooshing in his wake.

“What’s wrong with him?” I plead with Walker.

Silas’s hands are on my shoulders, trying to pull me away to give Walker room.

The headmaster waves his hands over Sydney’s body. “It… it appears his energy stores are dangerously low.”

“What? How is that possible? What can we do?”

He lays Sydney flat on the floor, his palms stretched over him, focusing on some incantation.

I stare and stare, but Sydney doesn’t move.

Panic consumes me, a strangely familiar feeling settling in my core. I rush to Sydney’s other side, looking thoroughly at my hands.

Don’t fail me now, I urge myself.

The faint glow of my magic surfaces, and I channel it forward.

Walker takes a small step back, giving me my own space this time, somehow trusting me when I’m totally unsure of what’s about to happen.

Like a defibrillator, I rub my hands together, pressing them to Sydney’s chest, willing my magic to exit my body and fill his.

His body rattles in response, confirming that I might be doing something right.

I repeat the same motions, shocking what I can of life back into his body. I do this again, and again, each time losing a little bit of hope that it’s working. Tears well in my eyes.

“Willow,” Walker says.

“I can do this,” I cry.

I summon every single last ounce of my strength, sending a blast so fierce it rattles the walls, and finally, he sits straight up, gasping for air, wild-eyed but back here with us.
