Chapter Seven

I walked to Soraya’s house a little while later, having showered and dressed. I may have spent more time on my hygiene than was strictly necessary. I didn’t want to go over to Scarlett and Soraya’s house looking like a total slob. On the other hand, I didn’t want to look like I was dressed to impress. I finally settled on a button up and a pair of jeans that I hoped struck the right balance. Then I realized I was wearing pretty much what I wore every day and wondered what the hell was wrong with me. Maybe living with a pair of girls was having an effect on me?

On an unrelated note, button up shirts are a life saver when you have a rack of antlers growing from your head. Seriously, trying to get into a pull over t-shirt without shredding the neck was next to impossible.

It didn’t help that everything took me twice as long to do because I was so tired and sore. Even so, by the time I was ready to head out, I felt significantly better. When I stopped to examine why I felt a little pulse from the earth beneath my feet. I still didn’t know what Eleanor had done to this place to make it react the way it did to me. Something to do with fae magic. Apparently, it liked me and was helping me to recover. How much worse off would I have been if I hadn’t rested here last night? Scary thought.

I wished the place farewell under my breath when I left, and I swear I felt an answering pulse of magic that took the barest extra edge off the aches suffusing my chest and arms.

In hindsight, walking might not have been the best idea. It was getting close to summer and the air was hot. Not so much that a few minutes outside would roast you, but a walk across town would definitely make you aware of it. Especially if you were covered in dozens of cuts and scrapes, as I was. The resulting sweat ran into each of my injuries and managed the truly irritating feat of making them all both itch and sting at the same time. By the time I reached Soraya’s house, something that didn’t normally take me this long to do either, I was ready to sit down. I sensed another shower in my near future. Maybe a sandwich too, though that might require a trip to the grocery store and more walking, so…maybe not for a while.

There was still research to do later, so there was something “fun” to look forward to. At least it meant I could be still and rest for a while.

I realized that I was stalling. Dammit. Why did I have to be so good at procrastinating? This had to be a normal thing for people in small towns, right? Everyone knew everyone and would come over and knock on each other’s door. Right, sure. Except that
