Chapter Ten

Nara

The first thing I do when my eyes pop open the next morning is check my laptop for an email from Madeline. I’m surprised to see that the email I sent her bounced. I send another one, then type in her website address in the Internet browser to see if I’d somehow messed up when adding her email to my address book.

When I get a missing page link instead, I frown and try again. This time I get a “this website no longer exists” error. Frustrated, I backtrack and look up all Madeline Strauss names in the London area. Before, where there were seven names, now there are six. Worry seizes my chest and I widen my search.

Breathing in short, choppy breaths, I scan through London’s newspaper obituaries since I last talked to Madeline, then blow out a sigh of relief that I didn’t find her name in any death notices or memorial listings.

Though I’m glad nothing bad appears to have happened to her, I tap my desktop pen in frustration that I can’t seem to find her either. It’s like she never existed.

Rubbing my temples, I close my eyes and try to think of another way I might contact her, but my mind’s blank. I’ve exhausted all possible ways I know to track a person down.

You’d probably think this place is a grunge-punk scene, Nara, but I saw the perfect spot for a slackline in a park near here.

I sit bolt upright. There is no way I’m making full-on Drystan sentences up in my head now.

Heart racing, I switch over to the video chat program on my laptop. While I scroll to Drystan’s user name, another thought hits me. He can help me with the raven book. I try to ping Drystan’s account, but it just shows he’s offline. I quickly type a note in the private message window, then hit send.
