“Where are we going?” Alexis asked again.

She’d passed out in the car as I sped away and only woke up when I’d parked near the rendezvous spot.

I grabbed her hand again as she looked around the forest, fear in her eyes. We walked down a path to meet Headmaster Hotchkiss and one of the underground leaders, Mage Damien Hunter.

I’d called Hotchkiss to let him know I’d found Alexis. He was glad to hear it, but also concerned. He agreed we needed to understand what really happened. I’d told her we would ensure her safety from the Magic Council if she told us the truth. Hotchkiss was annoyed at that. How could we make that promise?

Hotchkiss couldn't house Alexis because of where the Magic Council had set up shop. Damien Hunter was a Third Year. The plan was to keep her safe at one of the dorms on North Campus which was emptying out of Third Years as they were sent out to the Borderlands.

“It’s okay, Alexis. We’re meeting people who can keep you safe,” I said trying to keep my voice as gentle as possible.

“I’m scared,” she said. “I should go back. Maybe I can tell you mother I made a mistake.”

I stopped and looked back at her. “You know you can’t go back, Alexis. She’ll never accept that.”

I thought she would start crying, but she didn’t. She nodded her head and I squeezed her hand.

“You need to rest. You’ll feel better when you’ve had something to eat and get into some clean clothes.”

Damien Hunter sat in one of the golf carts some of the Third Years used up on North Campus. Headmaster Hotchkiss stood next to him.

“You've done well, Cole,” Headmaster Hotchkiss said.

“Not well enough,” I sighed. “Let's get Alexis to safety and I’ll tell you what happened.”

“Where are you taking me?” she whimpered.

“You aren’t a prisoner here, Alexis,” Headmaster Hotchkiss said. “This is Damien Hunter. He's a Third Year at the Academy. You'll be staying in one of the empty rooms on North Campus and he’ll keep an eye on you. I’m hoping you’ll share the story with us and then we can then figure out a safe place for you. Or if you want to go back to your parents?”

She shook her head vehemently. “My parents are the reason I’m in this mess,” she hissed.

“Let's get you warm and fed,” Damien said.

Alexis let go of my hand and sat down in the golf cart with him.

“You’ll be okay,” I said.

Damien started the golf cart and Alexis looked back at me and mouthed thank you as they drove away.

I stayed silent until they were long gone.

“I have a problem,” I said.

“Were you recognized by anyone?” Headmaster Hotchkiss asked.

“Yes, and even worse. I used the same magic to help us escape. There’s no way it wasn’t recorded. My mother will know I have access to Fae fire,” I said.

“Damn, do you have anywhere to go?” he asked.

“That's what I'm trying to decide. Everything I have my mother knows about. Except for here at the Academy.
