CHAPTER TWELVE

Getting into Mote Park was easy enough. All of the conventional entrances were guarded by police officers but I’m not really a conventional guy anyway. We hopped the fence.

“Where do we start?” Ashley asked as I landed on the grass and she passed the sword back to me.

“The cave I suppose,” I said. Hopefully there’d be some sort of sign we could use to start tracking it. It couldn’t have left the park unless whoever had trapped it here had decided to release it. To be certain that was not the case I went to the nearest of the magic trapping symbols and checked that it was still infused with power. It was so the wendigo was still here. I was clever enough not to touch the symbol again. My hand still hadn’t fully recovered from when I’d tried to read the magic.

There were no police officers inside the park thankfully. That would have been rather inconvenient. I could easily put them all to sleep but there was a chance one might’ve been able to radio in a distress call before I got to them. Luckily I didn’t have to worry about that.

The cave was heavily cordoned off with yellow police tape and a canopy had been positioned over the entrance. I’m not sure why. It was almost like they’d given the wendigo a porch for his cave, or hers. I edged over to the entrance of the cave. I knew that the wendigo wasn’t in there, that it had moved on, but I was still hesitant to go inside. Maybe it had returned once the police were all gone.

“Here,” Ashley said, saving me from going inside. I turned around and went over to investigate what she’d found. She was pointing down at the floor at what was quite clearly a massive footprint. It looked human apart from the size and the holes in the mud that its claws had left behind. I brought my gaze up and looked at the trail the thing had left right the way through the trees.

“Do you think it’s a trap?” Ashley asked. She whispered in fear of the wendigo hearing her. I had no idea how good its hearing was. The book had nothing about that in it.

“It is a highly intelligent creature, apparently.” I recalled that part of the book. It liked to spring traps. “We might as well follow it. It has no idea we have the sword after all.” That probably wasn’t true. The bloody thing was no doubt out in the trees watching us and it knew what I had in my hands. Nonetheless we followed the prints through the trees until we finally happened upon a fork in the trail. I knew it was coming but that didn’t stop me from being disappointed.

“Definitely a trap,” I said grimly. “Unless it sprouted a clone and they went off in separate directions.”

“So what do we do?”

I knelt down and examined the right trail. Then the left. They were identical. “No way of telling which path it had actually taken.
