Hold it right there. Perfect, Raina!” I watched from the shadows as she stood in the middle of the meadow and created a cloud out of nothing, and then made it rain. This was completely different than the uncontrollable storm from the other day. While this was all new to her, she picked up on everything like she’d been doing it for a millennia. Since we had shared so much of each other, part of me feared she’d sneak off and go back through the Skeleton Door to leave me here alone again. Like some cruel joke the fates would play on me after all I’d done over the years, lashing out in anger. That I’d finally found happiness, to have it ripped away from me, as I had ripped it away from others. Another part of me worried about what Dayna was up to. She’d been quiet, but I knew the others were watching. I’d seen Erion’s hawk flying overhead. I knew he’d be reporting back to them. I knew both Dayna and Naida didn’t miss anything either, they just were better at hiding than Erion.
