Chapter Nine

Callie

I wave goodbye to the firemen, a forced smile on my face. I'm not sure what they think they know, but they certainly kept trying to get something out of me over breakfast.

They want to take me home now too, but I don't want to let them. I know how it'll go. The moment I strap myself into the firetruck, they'll continue the questioning about everything and anything.

And right now, I don't want to deal with it. There's something off about this town, and I'm going to find out what it is. Other than the fact that there are witches and golems here. Oh and vampires, I can't forget about those. Or whatever Will is.

The questions are mounting up. On the plus side, I'm not the weirdest thing in town now. Which is something.

Not that it leaves me any closer to discovering any answers, hence why I asked the boys to leave me to it.

Unable to help myself, I adjust my backpack and pull the paper out of my pocket again. It’s still blank. Not even a trace of the Latin words that I’d seen on it a short time ago.

"How the hell is this possible?"

It has to be magic, of course. But that doesn’t help me. I shove the paper in my pocket, promising to get to that mystery at a later date. But for now, one of my leads seems to be dead.

The good thing? I still had one more to go on.

"I have to find the Seaside Shack," I mutter. I wish I had my recorder with me, but it's out of battery and with the past few action-packed nights, I've forgotten to charge it.

That'll teach me to be so careless with important stuff.

At a loss for what else to do, I head out to the center of town. I'm sure some people are around who may want to have a little gossip. No one talks more openly than people thinking they have the next juicy bit of information. Particularly little old ladies.

If I had control over my cat, I could go hang out at the old peoples’ homes. They must have loads of information there.

Except, I'm not so sure I'm right. Partly because I don't seem to have seen that many old people. Though if the woman Will talked to last night was to be believed, she was an old person, even though she didn't look the part.

"Bloody vampires, always complicating things," I mutter darkly.

"You shouldn't say things like that around here," a woman chides in my ear.

I spin around, expecting to come face to face with someone, but the only person around is a woman with dreadlocks and far too many shawls about a foot away from me.

"What did you say?" I ask, fearing I'm going to sound crazy, but knowing it'll be easy to brush off if she didn't hear anything.

"You need to be careful what you say around here," she repeats softly. "And what you think."

My eyes widen. People can hear what I'm thinking?

I feel sorry for them.
