PANDORA
The back of my neck prickled, and my arms puckered with
goosebumps. An unsettling sense of someone watching me crept along my
skin. I jerked my head toward my kitchen window and stared into the
backyard. No one appeared to be out there. Nothing stood out among my
perennials and trees.
Besides, my home was protected with spells and would ward off all but the
most powerful of magic. I shook my unease off with a nervous laugh and
said, “Good thing it’s time for yoga.”
The only one to hear was one of my cats, a tortoiseshell diva named
Desdemona, or Desi. She tipped her head and stared at me with an intent
look, as if listening. As I drew the shades, I kept attuned for signs of
movement. None appeared. I tipped my neck from side to side and front to
back to ease out some of the tension. So much for relaxation after a long
workday.
What I could use was a vacation. A couple on my team, Zoe and Lucas, had
gushed about the cruise they’d gone on to Bermuda, and I’d been dreaming
about sailing away from my troubles and responsibilities for a blissful
week.
Then again, their cruise home resulted in more turmoil. Sprites had
returned, following Lucas, and we had to deal with magic we’d never
encountered before when one had used his power to lock Lucas in stone in
his dragon form. So maybe a vacation wasn’t the answer. I worry about
what could happen in Salem while I was away and might also bring trouble
home.
Since a vacation didn’t appear to be in my future, I’d rely on yoga to help
relax me before bed. I rolled out my purple mat in my living room and took
three deep, cleansing breaths. Then I began an asana. Several minutes
passed. Although I focused on my form and breath, I couldn’t shake off the
apprehension, which clung to my skin like sweat.
I tried to work out the tension from the feeling I was being watched. Several
times in the past few weeks, I’d felt the disquieting sensation of someone
watching me but hadn’t caught anyone spying.
Was I losing it? Or being paranoid after all the supernatural hogwash we’d
had to deal with in Salem the past couple of years? Witches had been killed.
We’d fought demons and sirens in their attempt to seize control of Salem.
We’d been victorious, but since then, the trouble hadn’t abated, and we’d
faced numerous unethical hijinks as well as downright illegal uses of magic.
As the head witch of a magical unit in the Salem Supernatural Network, I’d
led my team in combating these attacks.
Although the rational side of me
knew there was nothing I could have done to prevent the witches’ murders,
the part of me that raised my standards to unreasonable expectations fed on
guilt. It used my shame like a punching bag. If I knew more sooner, would I
have been able to have saved lives?
I attempted to push away those gnawing questions on the next exhale. As I
moved through positions, I concentrated on my breaths, counting to help me
clear my mind.
