Even after a week, the novelty of Rak curled up in my lap hadn’t worn off. I pet him absently behind the ears as he purred like a motorboat, radiating contentment that I was back safely. I leaned back in my seat as Thomas, TS, and I drove to Dani and Charlie’s house.

We took several days to recover and just sort of recharge. All but a few traces of the blood magic had faded; Dani still had a few darker lines scattered across his face and the veins in Charlie’s hand were too dark as well. It was harder to see on Thomas, but I was sure his veins were all still more visible than they should have been.

The day after we first vanished Jon was able to launch his massive investigation and turned up nothing. We decided the minotaur must have closed the doorway once we stumbled inside, so there would have been nothing for Jon to find. Now that we knew the reason magics were vanishing, he decided not to try and investigate again, not just yet – we still couldn’t trust anyone. Jon was shocked and appalled by our description of Alaria’s abilities but, like us, was at a loss for where to go from here.

There was no question we had to find her and stop her. Somehow. The first step was to figure out where she had gone, then we could work on a plan to get her. I just hoped, wherever she was, we had temporarily delayed her awful sacrifices.

Certainly not the part where she was killing people, but the idea of being able to swim like a water elemental or even turn into an animal, assuming that would happen if she sacrificed a shifter, was admittedly something I had fantasized about before. Sure, I spent a lot more time daydreaming about magic before I found out I was a witch, but I did sometimes envy the abilities of other types of magics.

My thoughts were interrupted by our arrival at Dani and Charlie’s house. Thomas and I exchanged a smile as he parked. TS got out and we all headed in. Instead of stalking off to hunt like he usually did, Rak stuck close by my side.

Ember was inside, arranging some familiar piles of paper on the coffee table and I suppressed a sigh. We had put off our investigation for long enough, it was time to get back to our search for Alaria. We were hoping that by going over all of the files again, we’d be able to find something new now that we had seen some blood casters and knew more about the island. I wasn’t hopeful, but we were going to look for Taylor and Burton in the database in the hopes that their files might have other clues that could give us more information. We had already tried to find Alaria with no luck. She either was
