Chapter Nine:

In Which Dini and Kirril Find an Unlikely Ally

As it turned out, the party of performers we’d suddenly been hired with proved to be quite helpful. On occasion, they showed some skepticism regarding my mate and me, but a discreet nudge from my powers made them become much nicer.

Bit by bit, we managed to piece together the fact that we were in a city called Los Angeles, in a country by the name of USA. Beyond that, everything else was a mystery, but I suspected Stiltskin’s spell must have sent us to yet another dimension, perhaps one that held very little resemblance to my own world. As far as I could tell, though, there was some sort of link between my world and this one, because we had no trouble communicating with our supposed coworkers.

I’d have felt guilty about using my abilities to manipulate people, but I found that I wasn’t actually inducing emotion, but rather making them more aware of what they felt. There was an astounding potential for love in all of them, but it seemed like they pushed it aside for all sorts of reasons. Forgetfulness, random arguments, a desire to advance in their chosen profession or in studies, all of them created distractions that separated them from their loved ones. If I could become a bridge helping people come together once more, I was happy. Oddly enough, the humans seemed to be drawn to me, and soon enough, Kirril and I drew quite a crowd.

Naturally, I hadn’t forgotten our need to find a way back. In fact, with every person I approached, I tried to find out something new, as did Kirril. Unfortunately, these men and women were clearly humans, and even more magic-less than my mate. Nothing they said gave me any real assistance, beyond assuring me that, indeed, I was a long away from home.

And then, something strange happened. A few hours after our arrival in this strange land, I experienced a peculiar sensation, as if I was being watched. And no, it had nothing to do with the people crowding around me and Kirril. It seemed darker, more secretive somehow.

“I feel it, too,” my mate told me through our bond. “Can you tell who it’s coming from?”

I discreetly turned away from the woman I’d been talking to, nudging her to approach the fiancé she’d had a fallout with. As I looked around, my gaze fell on a tall, dark-haired stranger leaning on the trunk of a tree and just watching the performers without getting involved. In fact, he was watching me and Kirril in particular, and his expression unsettled me. A smaller man stood by his side, holding what seemed to be a treat of sorts.

The stranger didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. When he made a gesture for me to come to him, I excused myself and decided to comply. Kirril was right by my side, and I recognized the tension in his body as him getting ready for a possible conflict.
