“You should get on that spell before we have to had out, Will says and fan nods, striding towards the house.
I let out a sigh and step next to Will Tim watching his face when I notice the cut on his arm and I reach out to touch it. He list he’s as he turns his head and I point at the scratch. “You got hurt.”
“Just a scratch. It’ll heal” He says as he rubs his finger across

“You don’t feel anything! His class are poisonous” I remind him and Will jerks his head. “Not his clase. It was the scrape from the first fall when he tossed me.” He explains and his wonds take me back to the moment and what we were doing before the creature appeared. My vine deniches at the memory and I mourn the loss of his touch and what would have been
“Let’s go,” Will speaks, pulling me out of my thoughts and thom as I watch him walk to the door. I stay back and turn to the Kanima still trying to force its way out of the shield, He stops when his eyes lift to mine and my heart thumps in my chest as I feel me feet dragging forward. “Einmal” Just before I lift my hand to touch the bell list yanked back and Will looks at me with wide eyes. “What the hell are you doing!”
“Nothing. I just let out a shaky exhale as I look at the creature before looking back to Will. “I don’t know” His bows Burow as he watches me. but he says nothing and guides me towards the house. Before we walk in, I turn over my shoulder to book back and wonder why it felt like I lost my mind for a second there
*NIGHTFALL-
“All done,” Lan says, walking back into the living room. He spent the entire day cooking up the concoctions he needs for the spell and as he drops on the sofa, 1 part my lips. “Hey. It’s been bothering me When lan nods, I continue. “The can’t shift himself? Linean, he was in human form before lur

I bob my head as I push back into the sofa and silence striches in the air as lan grabs his notepad again, Will is on the other side of the room twirling a knife in hand and none of us speaks before lan breaks the silence. “What’s that noise!“.
My head snaps to him, and he lowers his book to the side. “Can
i you hear that?”
Jan looks at Will. “It’s distant, but it sounds like jumping Chattering?”
“There’s a club,” Will answers, finally speaking. “It’s on the other side of this place
“I thought you said this place is secluded.” I throw at him and he looks at me. It is. The club and the city are miles away
“Well, since it’ll take a while for the spell to take root why don’t we go out for some fun!
*Lan—“Will drawls, but before he can say more, lan is quick to cut in. “Come on. Alpha Who says we can’t have fun while on a mission? The Kanima will be in the exact place we leave it and nothing is getting in or out. It’ll only be hours and we’re the only ones here, so..
Will sighs, looking away, but lan continues, refusing to back down. “I be tiring sitting through hours just watching him. We have to interrogate hamm later, so don’t you think we should release some stress beforehand?”
I smile as I watch lan continue to break through Will’s guard and after a few minutes of waiting. Will finally gives in “Fine. Only for a few hours He grumbles and waltzes into the room by mine.
lan makes a victorious sound, and I lean close to him. “That was a lie. You didn’t hear anything, did you?”
He presses a finger to his mouth, hushing me. “Darling, that’s miles away, it’s impossible to hear anything. I saw the clubs yesterday on our way here.” He winks, and I shake my head at his mischief
“I’ve made it easier for you” He suddenly says, and 1 tilt my

My checks flush as realization kicks in and lower my gaze. “Are you sure it’s alright to leave! Nothing will happen?”
“We’ll be back past before the spell starts to kick in. Nothing will happen” He assures then adds, “Now go steal his breath A grin is etched on his face as he pushes me nut of the sola.
