Chapter 16

Loud crashes came from the other room and it felt as though the whole apartment tried to come down, but at the moment, Mira didn't care.

She took another deep breath for the sheer joy of it, and gripped Gabriel's hand.

His eyes opened slowly, as though afraid.

Everything stopped moving. The dishes were unconvinced that the earthquake had ended, and a few more crashed to the ground.

Gabriel pushed the picture off and sat up. Mira wanted to hold him and not let go, but when she tried to grab his arm, her arm flopped around rather uselessly.

"Oh, god," Gabriel said, "what did I do?"

Mira laughed, but it turned into a sob.

Looking panicked, he grabbed her arm and started an inspection.

"It's okay," Mira said, her voice dry and cracking, tears running down her face. "It's asleep."

She sat up, buried her face into Gabriel's chest, and wrapped her arms around him as best she could.

Gabriel held her tightly. At first, she didn't care. She didn't try to stem her ragged breathing or tears. The pins and needles sensation spread through her arms and grabbed her attention. Sniffing, she tried to rein herself in. Gabriel didn't seem ready to let go, so she brought herself under control.

She wriggled her toes until the sharp stabs of pain suggested her circulation was returning. When she wiped the tears from her face, Gabriel loosened his grip.

"Sorry," she said, using the sleeve of her shirt to rub away the tears.

"Don't be," Gabriel said.

"Thank you." She had to grit her teeth to avoid falling apart again.

"I trust I wasn't asked here to witness this." Emmit's voice sounded serene, but he glared harshly at Gabriel.

Mira sniffed and shifted so that she could see Emmit.

The glare didn't entirely leave, but worry crowded most of it away. "What happened?”

"I should go," Gabriel said.

"What?" Mira asked. "No, you shouldn't."

"If all is well, maybe I should take my leave," Emmit said. "I was under the impression there was an emergency."

"There was," Mira said. "I mean, there is." She closed her eyes and rubbed her head. "I think I need a minute."

"Of course," Gabriel said, standing up quickly.

"I smell like smoke and need to move around a bit," Mira continued.

"Smoke?" Emmit asked.

"Of course," Gabriel said, ignoring him.

"Can you fill Emmit in on what happened?" Mira asked.

Gabriel's sighed. "Yeah."

"Thank you," Mira said, "because we really need to talk."

Gabriel shut the door, leaving Mira alone in her room. She wiped any remaining moisture from her face. Once again, she flexed her fingers and her toes, making sure they were still there.

They had trapped her inside her own body. Fuming, she grabbed a towel and shut herself away in the bathroom.

It had been easy for them to cast the magic. All her life she had been content in her own strength. Even in college when she let her life and her magic fall apart, she still knew the strength was there.

Today that had been taken away from her. She scrubbed from head to toe, taking her anger out on the bubbles.
