Chapter Fifteen

enelope's secret was out. So there was no reason for her to use the name Mystic Star. She was Penelope Stubblefield and nothing could change that. And while she was so confused she didn’t know which way to turn, she couldn’t allow another person to come to harm if she could prevent that from happening. Even if she had to be in the presence of a man she found far too handsome to resist.

“I’m not sure I can. What do you suggest?”

“I don’t know. Have you recently come across other people whose mind you couldn’t read?”

“Mostly just you and Ronic. I can read Frost’s sometimes, but not always. Topper can.”

He let out a deep breath. “I’d like to avoid her if possible.”

Penelope smiled. “She’s quite harmless, you know.”

“No, I don’t and I don’t want to. She scares me.” He pointed outside. “Did you see? She turned me into a Llama.”

She shook her head. “No, I didn’t. But I find her delightful.”

“Back to the subject, you can read everyone’s mind in Magic?”

“Yes,” she replied with a determined nod. “I try not to, but if I open myself up, I can.”

“Then all we have to do is wander around town and see if there is someone you can’t read.”

Her eyes narrowed. “I told you, she could be hiding. Also, I can’t just open up in large crowds. It all becomes chatter and I can’t tell whose mind I’m reading.”

“What can we possibly do?”

“I don’t know. We might have to enlist the whole town to find her.”

“The whole town?” Altair asked. He hadn’t expected this assignment to be so confusing or strange. In his line of work, weapons were his first line of defense. Now, he was like a detective trying to solve a missing person’s case.

She leaned her head to the right and smiled. “Altair, most of the residents of Magic are different.”

“How so?”

“There are the Fates, Lacey and her sisters, the Twins, Topper. They all have magical powers. Even Theo.”

He looked around. “So, this is a mystical place?”

“In a very special way. Many are drawn here because it’s difficult to live in the regular word. People want to do research on us, stalk us, or write about us. Here, we’re away from all that except during tourist season.”

“Of all the people in town, who do you think can help us the most?”

Suddenly Joseph stood in front of her wearing his black top hat, coveralls, checkered shirt, and a handkerchief wrapped around his neck.” “Mornin’ Miss Penelope. Whatcha doing?”

Before she could answer, Jonah appeared dressed similarly to his twin brother, except he wore a conductor’s hat. He pointed at Altair. “He’s a space alien.”

Penelope knelt down and took the hands of the town’s mischief makers. Each of the Twins had strong powers and were werevamps. Together, they were almost unstoppable, except by their parents, who kept a close eye on them.

“Have you seen anyone new around town lately?”

“Sure we have,” Joseph said. “It’s tourist season.”

“No,” Penelope said. “I mean someone who has recently moved here.
