NovelAppChapter 0341 Matt and I built a fire while the others kept watch, and soon enough we had a small fire going between all of us. We sat on the ground around the fire in a circle, eating granola bars and drinking bottled water.
“Hey, it’s kind of like that time we all went camping,” Matt said.
“Remember?” Lori grinned. “Yeah, it is.” Her voice was dreamy and full of nostalgia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That was a fun time. I mean, aside from the fact that Nina almost got kidnapped.” I couldn’t help but blush a bit with embarrassment. During that trip, Enzo had dazed everyone and made them go back to sleep so they wouldn't
remember, but the truth of what really happened did eventually come out when I told my friends everything after 1 escaped from Edward’s lair. Lori and Jessica were a bit annoyed that I didn’t tell them sooner, especially when it happened right under their nose, but what was I supposed to do? Either way, Matt was right. This was sort of like our camping trip, minus the music and the tasty food roasted over the fire and the lukewarm beer and...
Minus Enzo. James, too. I couldn’t deny the fact that I did miss James; at least, I missed the way that he was before he went insane. Although, despite everything that he did, I hoped that he was safe right now.
And I hoped that Enzo was safe, too.
But I had a good feeling. And at least now, while we rested and waited for dawn to come so we could see enough to keep moving, I could make a plan for if — no, when — we found Enzo.
Hopefully, when we found him, we would be able to open another portal and get him back into the human realm, even if we had to drag him through because Selena’s spell was too strong. We planned for Luke to puta hex on Selena to keep her from opening a portal of her own, and then we would get Enzo to a safe place where Selena wouldn't find him.
I hated to say it, but we would have to take him to the tunnels. It was the only place on campus that we were all fairly certain Selena didn’t know about, and they were easy to protect. Once we got Enzo down there, we could try to break
Selena’s spell. And after that... We would have to come back for Richard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI wasn’t sure exactly what we would do once it came time to find the Alpha King. If Selena was truly as powerful as she seemed, and she had years to sink her teeth into his mind, there was no knowing exactly how strong the spell was on him. I could only hope that presenting myself to him as his missing daughter would break the spell. He was my father, after all, and even though I had never met him, I had faith that he would recognize his own daughter.
But of course, there was still the issue of Selena discovering our plan and stopping us before we could accomplish any of those things.
And my friends didn’t know this, but I already had a plan set in place just in case that happened.
I would have to kill Selena. And there was a good chance that I would die along with her, because when we were going through the portal, I had a strange premonition...
That premonition showed me something. It showed me the truth behind why the Crescents weren't able to kill me as a baby. And it wasn’t a protection charm, or anything like that. It was something deeper.
It was the power of the twin bond.
If one of us died, then so must the other.
