“We’ve got BIG problems!” I hissed in Nikki’s ear the next morning at school, as she shoved some books in her locker. “There is a zombie deer in the woods!”

“No way! You’re joking,” she turned, staring at me. Her brown eyes looked only slightly less sad as they were replaced with wariness over my undead announcement; my mental health was now apparently under scrutiny.

“I’m not joking! This is not something I’d joke about!” I hissed again, steering her over to a less populated corner of the hallway where I recounted the previous night’s adventures of Bambi deer, bad mountain lion, and then zombie deer. I deliberately left out the last part of the night, where I, Keeper of the forest, strong and fearless protector, ran out of the forest faster than I ever had before, vowing I would never return to hunt alone again.

“Wow,” Nikki remarked, her eyebrows raising an inch. “I’m glad I didn’t have a vision of that. I wouldn’t know what to do about it.”

“Well, honestly, I didn’t know what to do about it, either. After all, how do you kill something that’s already dead?” I shook my head, trying to dislodge the memory of the deer, and decided to change the subject to someone who had looked much better, “What’s Tori doing while you’re here and your mom’s at work?”

“She’s heading to the library. She’s stuck on finding out more about Eleanor Brown and why she isn’t dead, according to my family tree.” Nikki rolled her eyes, and then switched the conversation back to the deer. “You need to tell Erik what you saw last night.”

“Yeah, I called him when I got home. He wasn’t his usual happy self. I don’t think he liked it that I found one of the cats when I wasn’t trying to after they had been at it for hours. He said he and the others were skipping school today to search some more.” I shrugged, and then grinned. “He also said that I’m still supposed to watch you. So you’re stuck with me when school lets out. I came as wolf, so I’m riding back with you in your car.”

“You’d better not get seen ‘as wolf’ or Mr. Giles will flip out and be calling animal control on you,” Nikki laughed.

“I came through the woods at the back of the building, no one saw me. But regardless, somehow I don’t think Giles would flip out over seeing a wolf, he’s not exactly what he appears to be either.”

“What is he then?”

“Tommy tells me he’s the principal.”

“So what does Michael say he is?” Nikki asked, knowing the cousins did everything together, including finishing each other’s sentences.

“A forest gremlin. And they’re both right. He’s both. The only advice I can give you is not to make him mad or he’ll throw a desk at you.” I advised, in my most serious tone.

Nikki smiled, but it still didn’t reach her eyes. Her eyes haven’t smiled since Adam disappeared. They always look sad now.
