“Stop this!” I fell backward from where I’d been crouching beside Steward, pushed aside when he went for Allonic’s throat. Just as I had threatened to do not long before then.

I watched as they scuffled, rolling back and forth across the ground, grunting and growling and hurling what I was sure was curses in another language at each other. Steward did most of the cursing, really. I could only imagine how furious he was.

“Stop, I said!” I took my life in my hands by throwing myself between them. “Please! We don’t have time for this. Settle it later.” I got up, brushing myself off, and was deeply relieved when the other two followed along.

“Where is Jonah?” I asked Steward. “Please. We have to get to him.”

He nodded while rubbing the back of his head. “You’re right. I’ll take you to him, but we need to port.”

“Okay. Let’s do it.” Poor Jonah. He’d been waiting for so long for me. He had to be frantic by then.

“I need to use a spiritwalker in order to take you there.”

“Ha! Not a chance.” I folded my arms.

“Excuse me?”

“Have you already forgotten what happened the last time you tried to use a spiritwalker on me?” I asked. “That’s what got us into this situation—you with a lump on the back of your head.”

“I can’t just take you there. I don’t want to run the risk—”

I rolled my eyes. “I know. You can’t run the risk of my running away or doing something I shouldn’t. While I don’t blame you for not trusting me, I need you to believe that I don’t do things like that when the stakes are this high. I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize Jonah right now—or your security. I swear.”

“I’ll bring her with me,” Allonic offered. “I’ll take care of her as we cross over. You don’t have to be concerned.”

Steward shot him a deadly look. “We have a lot to settle.”

“I know we do, but like she said, this isn’t the time.”

Steward let out something between a snarl and a sigh. “As you wish, then.” He opened a portal, there in front of us.

It shimmered and shone, and I wondered what it must be like to have such power. To be able to open a portal anytime, anywhere, leading anyplace.

“Come.” My heart took off at a gallop as Allonic pulled me under his cloak, pressing me close. I wrapped my arms around his waist and went with him, stepped as he stepped.

Just like that, the sounds of the forest were no more. No owls, no crickets, no bats. No breeze in the trees. Nothing. And no light, either. Allonic pulled his cloak away and I found myself in a room just as dark as it had been under the cloak.

The room was also empty. No Jonah.

“Where is he?” I asked, looking from one of them to the other. “I thought he was here. You brought us here and said it was where Jonah was.”

“Enough,” Steward said. “Enough. I need to think.
