Chapter Twenty-Three

LUNA WAS HARDER to find than Cody imagined she’d be. Under Chance’s protection, she was a shadow, a ghost, and he knew he had made a mistake going to Layanna. Of course, she would warn Chance—he should’ve gone after Chance directly. This is what happens when I have faith in people, he reminded himself. Without her, his mission would no doubt be much easier.

Feeling out surges in energy were something of a gift to him; he had found he had an adept gift at it for early on and had never questioned it or looked back. It was something he felt he was owed, and in instances like these, it paid off. Luna’s energy was unique and that in itself was both a blessing and a curse. Knowing her patterns was hard because it was easy to misremember things about it. When he got it right, however, there was no doubt that he had the correct target.

When he picked up the spike in a Realm just south of DreamWorld, he was surprised—more so because he didn’t detect Chance’s energy with hers, and yet, she wasn’t alone. Eagerness overcame him, and he followed it, but she was nowhere in sight. Instead, he glanced around at the place he had ended up in detached wonder.

A high school?

How could a high school have such menace?

It made no sense.

Then he went inside and all his questions were answered. He didn’t know what it was that made the place one of nightmares, but the beings inside had flocked to it, and they would ensure this place kept its title. The hatred, pain, and betrayal nearly bounced off the walls, penetrating Cody’s skin as he walked.

Invisible eyes watched him from the shadows, and even he, for all his darkness, found the place to be too much. Why would she come here? If she was as full of light and love as Chance believed, she would have no use for this place. Unless the mystery person she was with had brought her here.

A Keeper? Cody pondered.

He didn’t recognize the souls moving around the building, but one thing stood out to him—the stabs and slashes across nearly every person he saw.

These must be the girls Chance killed, he thought, but that realization didn’t make the questions any easier to answer. Why would she come here to see the girls who fate she had barely avoided sharing?

“Got a good enough look yet?” one of the specters, a thin girl with brown hair tied into a tight ponytail, snapped at him.

He hadn’t even realized he was staring and went to apologize when he stopped. What did he care if he offended this girl? He’d never see her again anyway. “I’m looking for someone.”

“Well, I’m not her,” she replied with a haughty toss of her ponytail.

Cody laughed. “Really, now, Captain Obvious, are you so sure about that?”

The girl didn’t like the dismissal, he could see it in the curl of her lips. “Alright then, smartass, who are you looking for?”

“A girl by the name of Luna.
