Sydney practically ran out of the Nest and up the back stairs. She texted the others on the way out and told them to meet her in the spot behind the rowing building. They had a map and, hopefully, a translated spell. This was really happening.

It was just after eleven when everyone arrived, unlatching the dorm doors magically and masking everyone but Ainsley in a temporary invisibility spell. Sydney was pleased to see they looked as eager as she felt. They were making progress—actual steps toward capturing this thing and not just talking about it. Her heart hammered as though she’d raced around campus twenty times.

Langston still had the grimoire clutched in his hands. “Could you interpret everything for the spell?” The last thing she wanted was for him to think she doubted him, but the grimoire was pretty old, and the language might be different than the Latin or Gaelic they studied.

“It was standard, so no problem.” His chest puffed out slightly, and Syd was thankful to see a small glimmer of his old self again. The shifter hadn’t taken everything.

“Um, I helped,” Ainsley said.

Sydney gave her a round of snarky applause.

“Were you able to find where they buried Saskia?” Ava asked wearily. They’d been going non-stop for hours.

Sydney patted her coat pocket. “I have a map. Jax, do you have all the supplies?”

He nodded, and she noted a definite twinkle in his eye. He was going to get to practice actual Black magic and was practically busting at the seams. “We’re ready,” he pronounced.

Justin, in typical brooding fashion, said, “Unless this gets us all killed, or it rips our magic from us. Don’t know about everyone else, but neither sounds fun to me.”

Jax gripped Justin by the shoulders. “Look, I know this is shitty, but we can do this. There are seven of us. We outnumber it. We’ll get the symbols, recreate the room, and lure it there. If the witches did it four-hundred years ago, then we can do it now. Our spells and power have only gotten stronger over the centuries.”

“First of all, there are five of us, not seven,” Khourtney said, appearing as shaken as Justin, “unless Ainsley has secret powers that she’s not telling us about, and,” she turned to Langston momentarily, “no disrespect, but Langston isn’t able to fight right now either.”

“None taken, Khourt,” Langston said without emotion. “It’s true. We have to remember it also has my magic and Jake’s. It’s stronger now than it probably ever has been. Don’t underestimate it.”

Syd wasn’t about to allow them to psych themselves out now. “I agree with Jax. We can do this. We’ll be careful.” The memory of attempting to subdue the shifter with Jeremy and three Elder witches gave Sydney pause, but she didn’t dare say anything that would plant any more doubt in anyone’s mind. They had to be smart, and part of being smart meant being extra cautious.

“After we trap this thing, we can get their magic back, right?” Ava asked.

Sydney took a beat, not sure what to say.
