vacation by any means. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that. But we’ll make sure we give you two some space. Troni and Coter will be stationed outside at all times, unless you ask for their assistance with something inside.”
With that announcement, I groaned in embarrassment and refused to look at my aunt.
“On that piece of news, I think it’s time I get home to your mother. She was sleeping when I left, and I want to make sure she’s doing okay. She’s pulling through really well, but I don’t want to be absent when she hits a hiccup.”
“I hope the others that we released are faring just as well,” I replied softly.
“Well, they never had the chance until they were freed. That’s the most important step,” Dace said proudly, flying over to my aunt. “ And we have you to thank for that.”
“Tell my mom I love her,” I muttered to my aunt.
“Will do.” My aunt hugged me and walked to the door with Dace flying by her side. She turned around to look at me before exiting. “I’m really proud of you, Triss. Your mother will be too.”
She closed the door and I watched her dark shadow walk toward her car. Dropping my gaze to the floor I was surrounded with silence until I heard my aunt’s screams for help.

“Stay inside!” Dace barked, running outside with Bakula following right behind. “Troni and Coter come with us.”
As the fairies went outside, I ran to the window to see my a unt cowering on the sidewalk, but I didn’t see anyone or anything around her vehicle. Her head was bowed, and her entire body was shaking with every cry that she emitted into the night.
“What’s going on?” Logan came up behind me.
“I don’t know,” I whispered, peering through the glass. “But I want to go out there and help.”
“Babe, the y’ve got it covered. This is what they’re talking about. We need to lay low. We probably shouldn’t even be by the window.”
“I don’t understand why they’re targeting anyone and everyone.”
I continued watching my aunt writhe on the concrete sidewalk as the fairies flew over to her. I was pressing my palms against the glass, but my flesh began to ache. Removing my hands quickly, I realized they weren’t aching; they were frozen.
“What’s up?” Logan asked as I began rubbing my hands together quickly and blowing my warm breath on them.
“The glass is like an ice-cube.”
“Really?” He reached over and touched it, whipping his fingers back. “Oh no. We need to get away from the window now.”
A pure white frost began creeping up the glass, slowly clouding over the entire window and the only view of my aunt. The glacial effect spread across the glass like a spider web and the temperature in the room began to drop.
I ran to the stairs, taking them two at a time, with Logan right behind me.
“All the windows downstairs are icing up,” he hollered, as I swung my bedroom door open and ran to the window.
Making it to the window , I found my aunt still hunkered down on the concrete, but the situation was rapidly changing. The fairies darted around her in a circular formation, creating a spiral of light that shot to the sky. As the fairies moved faster, the tunnel of light expanded in all directions. I had no idea what I was witnessing, especially since I didn’t see anything besides my aunt and the fairies on the sidewalk.
“What’s happening out there? Why is she still on the ground?” I turned to face Logan.
“ There’s an attack on her soul.” Logan grew still, holding my waist tightly as if I might still run for it.
I spun back to the window and no longer were the tiny, winged creatures recognizable. What replaced their bodies was a spectacular wall around my aunt with golden rays spraying in every direction.
“Where’d they go?” I asked.
“That’s them, babe. They’re deflecting the spectre from entering her. We’re just lucky they got to her in time.”
“When will it be over?”
“You’ll
