“AS LOVELY AS IT IS to look at you both, we can’t stand here all night,” Cassie says, pushing her red hair back over her shoulder. Jezi’s hands drop, concluding the healing spell she worked on Cassie’s arm. “I can’t believe that bastard managed to hit me with a spell. That never happens.” She looks at Gavin, crossing her arms, and sticks out her bottom lip.

He rubs the back of her head. “He was quick and working with dark magic. He got past all of us.” The defeat in his voice makes my stomach roll. We’ve never lost a hunt before. We’ve never had to process these shitty emotions. My hands are shaking by my side. I can’t be weak. I have to keep it together now more than ever.

I shut my emotions off.

I look to Jezi, dead set on finishing this. “We need to re-do the locater spell. We have to pick back up on his whereabouts,” I suggest, crossing my arms over my chest.

“I thought you wanted out,” Gavin says with a raised eyebrow and a cocky grin.

“I want to complete the hunt.” This is no longer about using the Witch for our own use, but to take the threat of a loose cannon off the streets of my sector; to finish what was started.

“He just doesn’t like losing,” Jezi says, pointing out the obvious.

Gavin snorts a laugh and turns to walk back toward his Hummer. He’s parked a few cars up from me. “Meet at Weldon’s,” he says. “He’s closest to work the spell.”

I nod and get in my truck. Jezi hops in the passenger seat. We don’t speak to each other. I don’t think either one of us can form our scattered thoughts into words. This has turned out exactly like I thought it would- dangerous.

By the time I pull up to the theater, I’m ready for a fight. I need something to help release the ache of emotions pushing against me, trying to get me to acknowledge them.

“I just don’t get it. Why buy all of those ingredients in one place, in an Elder’s shop no less, knowing it would raise suspicion?” Gavin asks me when he gets out of his Hummer.

I scratch my head as the dots dance in front of me, waiting for me to connect them. “He clearly has no sense.”

“Or he’s trying to send a message,” Jezi offers. I look over at her as she walks around the front of my truck. “I mean, he’s a Watchman. He knew this would raise suspicion. He came to an Elder’s shop, a shop that is consistently watched by the Priesthood, so maybe that’s what he wanted. Maybe he’s trying to tell someone something.”

“I’m not following you,” Gavin says, scratching his head.

“Don’t you remember studying the Great Battle of the Covens?” Jezi asks.

I level my gaze on her.

“Right. Well, back then, Darkyns had to lay low. One of the ways they attempted to gain Mourdyn’s attention, when he was still a Divine, was through openly buying ingredients for spells that were against our laws.
