Chapter Fourteen

If I was fast and efficient, I knew I’d manage to get what I needed for Rose and return in time for my troll task force meeting. I might even manage a bit of a nosey round Rose’s home; it was not beyond the realms of possibility that she’d left some clues lying around that would help both of us. All I had to do was adjust the magic in the Metafora room so that I was transported back to Rose’s cottage instead of to Rose herself. I’d let myself in, find the pills and medicine that would help her heart and prevent any more near-death episodes and get them to Vincent, along with some gingko biloba. Then it would be job done.

If altering the memory magic for Rose worked out well, I’d use the evidence to petition the Director to let us alter it more often on a case-by-case basis. If it didn’t work out, no one needed to know. I decided that it would be better to seek forgiveness for my actions rather than ask for permission. No one ever changed the world without being a little bit daring.

It was an overcast, grey day but the absence of dappled golden sunshine didn’t detract from the prettiness of Rose’s little home. If anything, it made the colour of the climbing roses stand out more against the whitewashed exterior walls. It must have been a wrench for her to abandon this place. My mouth tightened and I made a silent promise that I’d do everything I could to allow her to return and see out her final days in peace.

I headed round to the garden, intending to use her back door to gain access as I had the last time. The sight that greeted me made me gasp. The beautiful garden had been all but destroyed. The plants had been ripped up by their roots in what could only be an act of petty hatred. Large boot marks were visible everywhere. There was more mud than greenery.

I straightened my spine and glared, as if angry looks alone would return the garden to its former glory. When that didn’t work, I drew out my wand. I wasn’t having this. Such destruction served no one.

Half-closing my eyes, I visualised the garden as it was before. My stomach tightened and I felt the power surge through my veins, amplified by the wand. Plumes of magic burst forth, serving not only to repair the damage to Rose’s garden but also to invigorate me. After all, I was giving back life.

No wonder it was forbidden to alter the lifespans of humans; it wasn’t just that you’d be fucking with nature – the heady adrenaline rush of power would probably be too much for even the strongest of us faeries to handle.

Goosebumps rose up across my skin and my body rippled with delicious shivers. I’d never felt like this before – the exhilaration was indescribable. As I gave energy to the earth, the earth gave energy back to me.
