CHAPTER ELEVEN

I sat up, heart in my throat. My first thought was that it was a ghost, maybe that man I’d seen before, the one who’d lured the kids into the park, and I felt an instinctive fear of him, a kind of crawling horror.

But the figure moved, and it was too small to be that man.

It was Lily.

I licked my lips. “Lily? You okay?”

“Come with me.” She held out her hand to me. Her movement was a little jerky, and when I looked at her face, which was half in shadow, she seemed to be staring through me, not looking at me.

I got up out of bed. I was only in my pajamas, a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. The floor of the Airstream was cold on my bare feet. “What’s going on, Lily?”

“Come with me, Deacon. I have things to show you.” She was wearing pajamas too, a button-up shirt and matching pants.

“You’re not, uh, sounding like yourself.” I put my face close to hers.

She didn’t blink.

“Maybe,” I said, “we should go and get your brother? What do you think? I think that’s a great idea. If you see Patrick, maybe you’ll snap out of this—”

“I know about Negus,” she said.

I froze. Okay, so up until now, I’d been trying to convince myself that maybe she was sleepwalking, and that she was just having a weird dream or something, and that I’d find Patrick, and he’d tell me that she’d always been a sleepwalker and laugh it off with some funny stories about things she did growing up, and then we’d wake her up for real, and she’d laugh too, and we’d all go back to bed, no harm done.

But, no, it was pretty apparent that whatever had happened to Lily when she’d been knocked out under that roller coaster, it had done something to her. And now, Lily was probably possessed.

I shouldn’t go with her, because I didn’t know what had control of her. I didn’t know if it was the ghost of Jason Wick. Maybe he was pulling her strings. And who knows what the specter might do to her.

No, clearly the right thing to do was to wake everyone up and get Lily help as soon as possible.

But…

Negus.

I had come to this place for information, and I had been thwarted at every turn. My mother wouldn’t talk to me about it, even in the face of proof that it had happened. And all the spirits in this place seemed to want to show me was stuff about that maze and Wick. Which was all very intriguing, but it wasn’t what I needed to know. It wasn’t going to help me.

Still, I couldn’t use Lily like that. I couldn’t just let her body be fodder for some foreign spirit to screw with her and move her around and…

“If you know about Negus, then just tell me here and now,” I whispered to her.

“Come with me,” she said.

I sighed. What the fuck was wrong with
