her head no. “Are you that Fae Princess?” Arlina smiles softly and nods her head up and down. “You promise to find Serah and bring her home?” She looks away for a second. “Even if she’s not alive, please bring her home so that she can have a proper burial.” The quiver in her lip displaying that it cost her a lot to say that. I would go crazy if Alec or either one of my brothers went missing.
    “I promise I will find her and bring her home no matter what,” Lina says softly, grabbing Tina’s hand.
    “Okay, what do you need me to do?” Tina asks. Arlina directs her to lie down on the loveseat then stands behind her head and kneels on the floor. Both Alec and I scoot to the edge of the couch and lean forward so that we can watch the whole process. It’s rare to see this performed by the Fae.
    “Do you need help with anything?” Alec asks Lina, looking hopeful.
    “No, I’m good. It might look a little weird. If I pass out, just make sure you grab me before I fall,” she says with a crooked grin at Alec. Neither one of us smile back. Alec looks freaked out and a curse escapes my lips. There’s no way I’m going to let her fall. I lean up against the wall near Arlina so I can be close enough in case she passes out.
    Arlina takes her pointer finger and middle finger from each hand and presses them to Tina’s temples. Tina’s eyes are closed. Her chest is rising in a soft gentle rhythm. Arlina chants something in the Fae language softly as her eyes drift close and about a minute later her eyes open. No longer are they emerald green but completely stark white.

    A ccessing a person’s memory is not my favorite activity. It’s like watching a bad horror movie. Depending on the person, you can come across some disturbing recollections. I have to dig deep in the person’s psyche to be able to reach certain memories. I’m not conscious of anything going on around me once I’ve made a connection in the target’s mind. Safety is top priority when I’m connected to a person’s mind, since I am not aware of my surroundings. Usually I have at least one other Guardian with me when I perform memory extractions.
    When I’m connected to the person’s memories, I experience everything as if I am there. I re-live everything that happened to the person. I experience all of their emotions such as joy, fear and pain. It is an emotional link, whatever happened to the person that was painful, I may share the emotional side of the pain but once I’m out of the memory there are no physical side effects. So if I’m in a memory and the person gets their arm cut off, I may share their emotions and feel their pain but in reality my arm will still be there and will be fine.
    I locate Tina’s memories and shuffle through them until I find the last memory of her and Serah. I start the memory where they are arriving at the club. They get out of Serah’s black Audi A6 and walk towards the line for Lush. It’s about 10:30 at night. Serah has on black leather leggings, with a white off the shoulder shirt and pink pumps. They are standing in line for Lush and Serah is laughing at something Tina is saying.
    They finally get in the club and head to the bar. They both get their drinks and spot their friends, two girls and two guys. I can tell that they are all werewolves. They sit at the table with their friends laughing, drinking and having a good time. The DJ plays a song that has Serah jumping up and down with excitement. She drags Tina out to the crowded dance floor. They begin dancing with each other but then two guys come up to them to join in. The dance floor is packed with people drinking and grinding to the heavy music that’s playing. There are groups of girls dancing together on the dance floor and guys standing on the outskirts trying to look cool.
    Tina is dancing with a guy that is average looking except for the really dark eyes with golden swirls. Tina asks him a question and he shakes his head. She
