Chapter 13

HELENE AND HER BEST friend Letty had been living together in Hideaway Land for about six months now. She was a satyress, but her friend was a human. I’d hooked them up with Gerard Latham, a warlock who was conducting a living experiment in bringing MAUCs and humans together peacefully and openly.

I had been vehemently opposed to that idea. My entire life and career was about hiding MAUCs from human eyes. It was only on rare occasions that humans were able to accept the existence of creatures like us. When things went bad, I was the one who had to clear out the mess. And it was more often than not a mess.

So I was naturally skeptical that Hideaway Land would work. For now, though, it seemed to be a safe place for Helene and her friend to live. And since they kept in steady contact with Rhiannon, I knew that they were, in fact, thriving here.

“Oh, my gosh, Lynlee!” Helene cried when she spotted me huffing it up a hill towards her home. “And Rhiannon, too. What are you guys doing here?” She clapped her hands in excitement and then galloped towards me on her hooved feet.

“You look really good, Helene,” I noted with awe in my voice. It was true, and in fact, she looked better than good. The hair on her head and her tail was long and golden, flowing in waves that sparkled in the sunlight. The little horns on her head were ivory white, and there was a blush to her cheeks that I couldn’t help admiring.

“I told you she liked it here.”

“Who are you yakking with, Helene?” A voice called out from Helene’s little cabin. Letty stepped out with a knife in one hand and a margarita in the other. Her eyes widened when she saw us, and she hurried forward so fast she spilled some of her drink. “Hey, I didn’t know you guys were coming to visit. But you’re just in time, I’m making margaritas!”

I lifted my wrist to check the time, realized I wasn’t wearing a watch and instead grabbed my cell phone. It was a little after noon, but still earlier than I liked to start drinking. “Nah, I’m good. But Rhia might want something.”

“Anything to eat?”

Helene laughed, and the two girls led us to their home. I stopped at the entry and looked down at Patch. “You stay. Stay right there.” She mewled once and sat down right where I’d pointed.

“Oh, she can come in, Lynlee. We have a cat, but he isn’t social. He’ll be in hiding until you guys are gone anyway.”

I cocked an eyebrow at Patch and pointed for her to come into the house. “Be good,” I said as she leaped across the threshold.

The cabin was a cozy place, not much bigger than the apartment they used to live in, but just a bit nicer. There was a lounge chair off to the side that looked so strange I found myself starting at it. Finally Helene touched my arm to get my attention.
