CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

My mom texted Kevin. He was probably asleep. He'd barely arrived. Still, we needed him to check out Vlad's old mansion as soon as possible. There wasn't any guarantee that Morty was there. It would have been quite a feat for the vampires to move him so fast. Still, it was a stone we had to overturn.

If there was any activity there, it would confirm that the ghost mambo wasn't off her rocker. At least, presuming I’d understood her correctly. I was supposed to go to the place where I realized my truth. It was where my scythe manifested the first time. What else could she have meant?

I glanced across the street. The man who'd asked us about the horseheads before was staring at a set of them, shaking his head with a wide grin on his face. He looked up as I was watching and waved.

I grinned and waved back. He knelt beside the horses, held out his phone, and took a selfie. He was proud that he'd managed to track down the answer to his horsehead mystery.

"Some people are easily entertained." Sienna chuckled.

I nodded. "I wish our situation was that simple. It seems like the more we look, the more complicated this situation becomes. Are you okay?"

"Sure," Sienna replied gamely. "I'm feeling a little better. The world isn't spinning around me anymore, at least."

I smiled. "That's good. I meant after what that mambo told you."

Sienna shrugged. "She was talking in riddles. I mostly feel like myself. I don't think anything profound about who I am changed."

I put an arm around her. "Well, if anything feels off, say something. I don’t want to see anything happen to you."

Sienna averted her eyes. "I should thank you, I think. I mean, you’ve saved my life more than once."

I chuckled. "I owed you. How many times have you covered for me at Cup-O-Joe's? You've saved my job several times over."

Sienna chuckled. "Saving someone's job and saving their life isn't equal. I don't think I'll ever be able to pay you back. You risked your life for me. I'm not sure I understand everything, but it sounds like your brother risked a lot, too, by helping me."

"Was that why you wanted to come along? To help save him?"

Sienna nodded. "That's part of it. I also didn't want to be left alone in a strange city."

"Cerberus, still have the vampire's scent?"

Cerberus huffed and pawed my leg. Usually, that meant yes. This time, though, he shook his head. I ducked back into the alley where we’d met the spirit lady. "What's up?"

"I lost his scent. He was near when you were talking to that ghost, then he vanished and blended into the crowd."

I sighed. "So, he knows we're here."

"I think so. I'll keep trying. At least we know he's nearby."

My mom pocketed her phone. "No response. I'm guessing he's sleeping."

I nodded. "Cerberus lost the scent, but we know he's here. And, well, Vincent knows we are, too."

My mom shook her head. "This is going to get complicated.
