Chapter Twenty-Seven

TENNESSEE

“I don’t like being here.”

I froze and glanced over my shoulder at Royce. “We’re not hurting anything. We’re just looking around.”

Royce shifted his weight and fidgeted with the buttons on his double-breasted wool coat. His gaze darted around, not setting on anything for too long. “This is Leyka’s house, boss. Leyka. The guy we sacrificed to a demon. We shouldn’t be in his house.”

Tegan strolled over from the kitchen and squeezed his shoulder. “He isn’t with the demon now, though, remember? He’s an angel now.”

Royce groaned. “Doesn’t that mean he died?”

Henley, who’d been kneeling on the ground looking at something, stood up straight. She wiped the dust off her black leather pants. “That’s not how that happens. However Leyka became an angel, it was not through his own death.”

Maybe we shouldn’t be in here. But I kept that thought to myself.

After Cooper took us on that little trip down memory lane, we decided to divide and conquer. We didn’t know where to find the last Elemental Stone, nor did we know where the location of the original Gap was. Everyone else looked to us who’d been sent back in time to come up with the second question. No pressure or anything. What they failed to accept was that the Gap had already been closed and cloaked until the new twins could be born.

And we’d had to hide the whole time we were there.

Paulina had taken a few people with her to go searching for spirits to talk to, and I was secretly hoping she’d be the one to find that answer. Willow, Chutney, Bentley, and Kenneth were investigating Jonathan Corwin’s house, now known as the Witch House, and some other museum Bentley insisted they go in. Tegan’s parents stayed at Headquarters with Deacon, Emersyn, and Katherine. My father and Timothy took Easton and Lily to check out a few other locations.

That left the five of us. The ones who’d actually been in 1692, if only for a few days. I was grateful for it, and I knew without a doubt Tegan had done it intentionally. She was sneaky like that. But I was glad. The five of us had been there, so we’d seen the same things. Everyone else would’ve been asking us a million questions about what we saw, what we did… For us, it was easy, companionable silence.

Cooper strolled into the hallway where we stood. “You know what I don’t understand? Why does this place look and feel untouched? I mean, like three hundred years have gone by. Minus the dust, this place still feels like Leyka. And why have we always been told that Jonathan Corwin’s house is the only house from 1692 still standing when this is here.”

Royce groaned. “It’s been forgotten, which is why we shouldn’t be inside.”

Tegan held up her Book of Shadows and hugged it to her chest. “I feel…magic here. An aura that’s both familiar and not. I’m guessing the humans don’t even see it’s here, or some other kind of trick of the mind.
