would be puking, too. Let me get you some medicine to help settle your stomach.”
“Thanks,” Gunnar muttered. He sat on the toilet, leaning back as she walked out. The icy draft faded. Maeve rose in his mind, smiling.
He pushed the image away, fearing Maeve's innocence would transform into the monstrous. I need to let her go. I need to stop thinking about her.
I need to stop loving her.
Corrigan returned as Gunnar fought his tears.

Maeve climbed out of Brad's car, eager to see Magda. She's not dead! Joy filled her as strode into the hospital, dressed in her sorority sister's borrowed clothing. When she had left the sorority, her sisters were busy searching for cold iron spikes. Maeve had a plan forming in her mind.
Brad and Felicity walked beside her as they strode into Tacoma General, walking to the nurses station. The nurse blushed when she saw Maeve, bringing a smile to the Pixie's face. Two weeks ago, this same nurse had caught Maeve and Gunnar making love in her hospital room.
Maeve's joy faded. I'll get you back.
“Which room is Magdalena Vicario in?” Maeve asked.
The nurse glanced down at her papers. “Room 318. Head that way and take the first left. You'll see it on your right.”
“Thanks,” Maeve smiled.
“And you're not going to...” the nurse trailed off.
Maeve winked at her as she strode down the hallway.
“What was that about?” Felicity asked. The blonde giggled when Maeve explained it.
The trio quickly found room 318. Maeve opened the door cautiously. Three people were inside, standing beside Magda's bed. Maeve's friend looked so weak and vulnerable as she lay there, surrounded by machines.
“Maeve?” Professor Sommer gasped. The buxom redhead held Magda's hand, tears glistening in her green eyes. “You're here.”
“Oh, Maeve!” Akiko gasped, rushing over to hug Maeve. “You're okay. I was so worried.”
“You're...back,” Evan blinked. “I...wow. I thought you were gone for good.”
“Well, I'm not,” Maeve declared, focusing on Evan. Why did you drive Gunnar to Corrigan's? Are you under her power?
Maeve could read auras, and Evan's seemed normal. His love for his soul mate Akiko was intact, and Maeve knew Corrigan couldn't resist tampering with a love that strong.
But he made sure Gunnar was at Corrigan's house at the right moment.
“Oh, Maeve,” Akiko sighed. “I hate to tell you this, but...”
“Corrigan and Gunnar are together.” Maeve nodded. “We need to talk about that.”
“Can you heal her?” Professor Sommer interrupted, more tears flowing from her green eyes. “Can you heal my Magda?”
“Maybe,” Maeve said, looking around. “I'll need roses.”
“How can you heal her?” Akiko frowned. “What are you, Maeve?.”
“I'm a Pixie,” Maeve answered.
Evan shrugged and Akiko nodded her head, both accepting rather fast. Maeve frowned at Evan. While Akiko had been at the sorority, Evan had witnessed nothing supernatural. So why are you so accepting? Are you Corrigan's pawn or did she just trick you Saturday night?
“So, I need at least two dozen roses,” Maeve said, staring at her comatose friend. “They feed my power.”
“I'll go get some,” Evan said.
Maeve nodded her head.
“And then I'll need passionate energy.”
Akiko's eyes widened. “You mean...”
“I must share in all of your passionate love.”
Akiko swallowed, her round face paling. “Umm, maybe you don't need me and Evan for that.”
Maeve shook her head. “No. I'm sure Professor Sommer, Brad, Felicity, and I will be enough.”
Akiko nodded her head. “I think that's for the best.” She took a deep breath. “Maeve, what happened that night?”
Maeve gave her a quick version, leaving off her plans. She trusted Akiko, but Evan... The Black man returned with several bouquets of red roses, their sweet scent filling the room. Maeve's heart fluttered as she breathed in their perfume.
“Well, we'll leave you to...your fun,” a
