Chapter 5

“What do you think a bloated, pirate-looking corpse is?” Fix asked.

“I don’t know” Vincent said. He followed after Dezzy.

Dezzy jumped over a waist-height chain link fence and then disappeared. Vincent stood still in the garden for a moment, confused. Birds chirped in the trees.

“That was odd, where did he go?” Fix said. “And why is he shirtless?”

“I have no idea,” Vincent said.

Dezzy appeared again from nowhere, leaping out of space back into the yard.

“It’s some kind of enchantment. The front yard is over here.”

He hopped over the fence again, vanishing once more. Vincent followed him, jumping the fence and feeling pain blossom in his ribs from the beating he’d received earlier. Dezzy was waiting for him a few yards ahead, between the witch’s house and a new house that appeared from nowhere.

Dezzy led them between the houses and across the next lawn. He stopped and pulled a small plastic bucket from beneath a bush. It was half full of French fries and what looked like gravy.

“Man, there’s bugs in it. This trip keeps getting worse,” Dezzy said.

“Did you see where they went, Dezzy?” Vincent asked. Dezzy dumped the poutine back under the bush but kept the greasy bucket.

“They were in the house when I got here. But they could be in the bakery now,” Dezzy said. “They’re selling evil cupcakes, man.”

“What’s an evil cupcake?”

The two of them crept across the lawn to a large tree. Dezzy stood behind it for a moment, then peered around the corner down the sidewalk.

“No sign of anyone... The cupcakes are full of primal magic. Tastes like dirt and parsnips. It’s pooling all over the town,” Dezzy said.

Vincent could see the watery sheen of primal power everywhere as well. It was like the town of Burnham was set into a kiddie pool of it. But there were those bursts of blood magic all over the town as well, like flowers growing in a field of weeds.

Selena was convinced none of her sisters used blood magic. But it was too closely threaded into everything they were doing. That meant one of them was lying to Selena. If he had to guess, it was Abigail. She had a mean streak in her, if nothing else. He thought it was just anger over thinking Vincent killed her coven sister. Maybe it was more than that.

“We got witches,” Dezzy said suddenly. He ducked back behind the tree and crouched down low. Vincent crouched down with him.

“How many?”

“The one that left with you. She seems like bad news, don’t you think?”

“The woman that locked me in a torture basement? Yes, Dezzy, I do think that,” Vincent agreed.

“That sounded sarcastic, man. The basement changed you.”

“It was not good, Dezzy. But thank you for getting me out as soon as you did. They’re planning to pull Selena’s power out of me, I think. But they don’t know she’s in there, too.”

“Can they do that?”

“No idea. But I don’t really want to find out.”

“We need a plan of some kind. These witches seem to be ahead of us in terms of plans,” Fix said.
