Chapter 13

School was the last place I wanted to go this morning. Not because I didn’t like school. My classes were fine, and the teachers were mostly good. However, school work required focus, and I didn’t have any today. How was I supposed to concentrate on math when someone was using magic roots to turn people into crazed tree warriors?

I let that thought stew for several moments. It was hard to believe that human-tree hybrid monsters could be unleashed on Seattle if things didn’t get fixed. But that was the least of my worries. I was currently the surrogate mother to a baby werg. A tiny tree creature had bonded with me and I could feel its emotions. That was the real reason I couldn’t focus at school today. I’d left the werglett with Breaks-Bones for safekeeping and Karakowski was watching Breaks-Bones to keep him out of trouble.

I’d managed to get through two classes so far, but I couldn’t remember anything we’d covered in class. Worrying about whether the werglett had been fed or if he would suddenly start missing me and throw me into a meltdown had me nervous beyond belief.

“Hey,” said Mark as I exited my latest class. I took a deep breath and tried not to panic. I wasn’t ready for human interaction and especially not with Mark who I’d recently turned down for a date. Not because I didn’t like him, but because I had too much going on.

“You want to go to a movie tonight?” he continued.

“Sure,” I said before I could think about it.

“Great,” said Mark. “Let's meet at the movie theatre at eight. Will that work?”

“Yeah,” I said.

“See you there,” said Mark and he turned away to head down the hall.

“What kind of location is this movie theatre?” asked Iverog.

“It’s a movie theatre,” I said. “It’s like the TV I watch sometimes, but lots bigger.” I had no idea how to explain a movie theatre to a creature from Alfheim.

“Very good,” said Iverog and disappeared again. It was still unnerving to have him appear randomly during school. He’d be much better off keeping out of sight until we understood more about why Stephanie saw him, and who else might.

I waited for Stephanie outside Mrs. Spadafino’s classroom. Her locker was nearby, and she had to pass by here, eventually.

“Alecia,” said a voice I wasn’t expecting.

“Allen?” I stood there shocked and barely able to get the words out. He wasn’t someone I had expected to show up at the school. “What are you doing here?”

“Ezek needs to talk to you. He’s outside in the car.” Allen wore a pair of jeans that looked so new I figured he might have purchased them on the way over in an effort to fit in.

My brain switched gears quickly. If Ezek was here, that meant something had happened, and I was being pulled out of school again.

“Let me get my stuff,” I said. I turned to walk away and found Stephanie smiling at me.

“Who is this?” asked Stephanie.

“This is Allen,” I said.
