DEAN

I sat propped up in bed, Louise between me and Jake, still snoring. I’d scanned her, checked her thoroughly. Nothing out of the ordinary. Didn’t lessen my worry for her, though. This power of hers had been a complete bolt out of the blue.

“What’re we gonan do?” Jake asked. “Who can we talk to about this?”

It had to be someone fae, but who? I didn’t want to visit Faerie, or even call my dad. But I knew it had to be my father. My power was from his blood, Louise’s mine. But the idea of it made my blood run cold.

We weren’t on the best of terms because he had no interest in being a dad or a grandad. Still, I’d need to contact him, bite the bullet and send him a letter via Faerie Post.

The sudden manifestation of my daughter’s magic was terrifying. It never happened. And for her to freeze a room like that? We had to get her seen to, in case there was more. What if there was more? What if she was a sudden leap in fae evolution, the beginning of the next stage of our species?

My head swam, the pain from my injuries an irritating reminder of what that guy in the hoody had done. I needed sleep. It’d clear my head, help me focus better.

“You look exhausted,” Jake said gently. “Let’s just not do this now.” He turned off his light and plunged the room into darkness. “Sleep, Dean. We’ll figure this out in the morning.”

I was gone before I knew it.
