“There she is!”
My heart beat so loudly in my ears, the furious shout reached me
as if I was under water. Several huge men in leather armor, with silver eyes
and pointed ears, ran toward me, swords drawn, ready to run me through.
My fight-or-flight reflex kicked in, and let’s be honest, fighting was never
gonna be an option.
I whirled around, catching a horrified expression on my best friend’s face
before the blue glow of the portal swallowed her up. By the time she and
her boyfriends were back in the human realm, I was already sprinting into
the cover of the trees, getting away from the horde of angry Fae guards
whose prison we’d barely escaped.
Weirdly, nobody came crashing after me through the undergrowth. When
I stopped and bent over, catching my breath, I was alone. Only the wind
whispered through the boughs of the dark firs, and something small rustled
in the brush.
In the distance, somebody shouted and there was the sound of metal
striking rock, but the noise didn’t come any closer. I was safe for now, but
once the Fae guards tired of trying to force the portal open, they might
decide to hunt me for information about my friend Amber.
The trees stood too close together to use the travel sigil my father had
taught me a lifetime ago. Once I was clear of the forest, I’d be able to put
some distance between those scary guys and me. But if I used the rune now,
I’d smack into a tree trunk at high speed. My eyes watered at the thought.
I’d have to escape the old-fashioned way. Suddenly dizzy, I sat down
heavily, dropping my head until it passed. Spending time in the Fae
dungeon with my friends hadn’t helped my fitness, that was for sure.
The soil smelled of damp plant matter. It was soothing and familiar, a
reminder that some things in this foreign world were the same as at home.
My magic would work here—I was sure of it.
I dug my fingers through the layer of needles and leaves until I reached
the crumbly earth underneath. The magic responded easily, telling me there
was a river some miles away. Its cool freshness translated through the
biomass that made the forest habitat. If I walked hard, I’d get there in an
hour. All I had to do was follow the pull my magic had latched on to.
Halfway there, my lack of fitness caught up with me. My breath whistled
in and out of my tight chest, my legs ached, and I had to slow down.
I finally reached the stream as my calves seized up. Grimacing, I dropped
at the edge of the river, massaging the tight muscles. I was tired, hungry,
and oh so thirsty.
I smacked my lips, keenly aware of how the skin stuck together.
Reaching down, I filled the hollow of my hand with liquid, sniffed it, and
took a sip. It wasn’t like I had a choice. The water tasted clean, and I felt
better immediately. Rocking back on my heels, I drank more while I
pondered my situation.
