Chapter 11

Kasey woke feeling better than she had in months.

She yawned as she stretched, her fingers playing across the sheets as she looked for Sanders. When they reached the edge of the mattress and found nothing, she opened her eyes.

She bolted upright, searching the small room, but he was nowhere to be found. Where had he gone?

She shuffled to the edge of the bed and swung her legs over it. Pulling the sheet around her, she got up. She wasn't quite sure where all of her clothes were, but right now she was more worried about her missing boyfriend.

Holding the sheet around herself, she ran to the window and looked out it, but couldn’t see any sign of him. She raced to the door and stopped, teetering on the edge of a sixty-foot drop. The stairs were gone. She was trapped.

Her mind replayed the events of the previous evening. Everything had been wonderful, magical even. So why was she waking up alone? And why was marooned in a treehouse sixty feet above the ground?

"What's going on?" she muttered. Then she realized.

She had given him the location of the Terminus. Nowhere in her mind had she considered the possibility that he would leave without her. Probably because she would tear him a new one for it.

She groaned in frustration. People didn’t leave people they loved stranded in a treehouse while they walk alone into a deadly situation.

Unless your name is Noah freaking Sanders. She grew angrier by the moment. She had to catch him. But first she had to work out how to get out of this stupid tree, get out of Faerie, and get to Flannan Island before Sanders managed to get himself murdered by his unreformed convicts.

She stood in the doorway, a fresh breeze blowing through it as she peered down the tree. With care, she hoped she could make her way from branch to branch. Of course, she had been wrong before and being wrong sixty feet off the ground seemed like an excellent way to get killed.

She also needed to find some clothes.

Perhaps once she did, she could just holler for the summer Sidhe and one of them could surely get her out of the tree and perhaps even back to Manhattan.

She imagined Sanders had left instructions intended to delay her, but Kasey was the one who was here and she could be pretty persuasive when needed.

Throwing the curtain shut, she fumed as she went looking for her clothing.

She found one of her boots sticking out from beneath the bed. "Flipping Sanders, when I get my hands on him, I'm going to…"

"Going to what?" Sanders asked. His voice had a note of amusement to it.

Kasey turned and found Noah climbing down the tree trunk in the middle of the room.

"If you used a glamor to sneak up on me, I'm going to end you!” Kasey shook her empty boot at him.

Sanders held up both his hands to placate her. "No glamor, I swear. I was just upstairs.”

He pointed toward the roof of the chamber.
