Chapter Thirteen – Fin

He woke up to find her gone. For a moment, he lay there, his hand on the cold sheets. She had been gone for a long time, but it was still dark outside. Why would she be up in the middle of the night? Another dream—or perhaps she knew one was coming and she went to hide from it in the light of wakefulness.

Expecting to find her downstairs in the small kitchen, he dressed and headed down to her, wanting to comfort her and chase all her demons away. It was empty. Going to the kettle, he found that to be as cold as the bed; she hadn’t come down to make some soothing tea. She must be outside. Panic took him: if she was outside, even on the veranda, she was vulnerable.

When he pushed the handle down, he was surprised to find the back door locked. She must be in the house somewhere. He went from room to room, searching, calling, his voice becoming frantic. At last, he returned to the bedroom and switched on the light; he saw her discarded nightclothes on the floor. She had dressed before she had gone out. Sybil had left voluntarily.

Had she gone to the dragons? He ran down the stairs, practically tore the back door from its hinges when he couldn’t find the key, and fled into the night. He would go to Charlotte first, then if she had no answers, they would go to the Stronghold.

His head was filled with confusion and a growing rage. It clouded his mind, making the forest in front of him, already dark and foreboding, seem like such a terrifying place. Especially when he thought of his sweet Sybil out here alone. He sprinted faster—so fast he didn’t see the shape of a woman to his right, he didn’t even know she was there. Not until he tripped over her outstretched foot and sprawled onto the ground for the second time in twenty-four hours.

Before his body had even touched the ground, he was propelling himself up, his fists clenched, ready to fight. He cursed himself for not bringing one of this wooden stakes with him: if this was a vampire, he might be doomed. Maybe it was a mistake coming here to Spellholm, but if he met his death, at least the realm of the Labyrinth would be relinquished from his care. Open for anyone to find it. He might have regretted leaving there, taking on this strange face, but that would mean he would never have met Sybil, and he loved her with all his heart. The same heart her kisses had unlocked.

But when a voice spoke at last, he knew he wasn’t in danger. The red mist of his rage filled his head all the same.

“Now, now, you bull-headed monstrosity. Put your fists away, I have come to help you find Sybil. But if you want her to be safe, you have to do exactly as I say.”

“I don’t know if I trust you, Tara.
