“Are we ready?” Matt shouted to us over the music. Lori and Jessica nodded, and with one last look at me, they disappeared into the crowd. I stayed where I was, keeping an eye on Enzo so I wouldn’t lose him, but I could see Lori slip what looked like money to a random girl. Lori then whispered somet

Nina As I watched Enzo storm off into the party, I felt my heart sink. The screen door slammed shut behind him and wobbled a bit on its frame, leaving me alone and shaking in the cold. Up until five seconds earlier, I was certain that our plan was going to work. But maybe I was too confident in th

Nina As I ran down the street, my heart racing while the men behind me chased closely behind, I couldn’t help but feel completely defenseless. Even if I screamed, no one would hear me; there was no one around, no houses or open stores. For all I knew, these men were Crescents as well. And without

Nina I wasn’t entirely sure what happened that night after Matt, Lori, and Jessica came to my rescue. I was too drunk and shaken up from the ordeal, leaving my head feeling foggy and out of whack. All I remembered was going home and getting into bed, and thankfully, I didn’t wake up in the forest a

Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. Selena reached out beneath her desk with her foot and firmly kicked the back of my chair, causing me to lurch forward and nearly spill my coffee everywhere. “What is your problem?!” I said out loud, turning around in my seat to face her. But even as I did that,

Enzo On the morning after I upset Selena and slept on the couch for talking to Nina, I woke up feeling foggier than usual. Selena, much to my surprise, was already awake and was cooking pancakes in the kitchen. “Good morning, sunshine,” she said with a grin as she flipped a pancake on the stove. “

Nina When I ran into Enzo on the quad, I thought for a moment as he looked at me with the strange expression on his face that he might begin to remember me. But he didn’t. Not yet, at least. Seeing him walk up to Selena and hold her made me want to cry, but I managed to walk away and hold it toge

Nina When I opened the door of the supply closet to let Enzo see into the tunnels, I could tell just from the way that his body began to morph back into his normal appearance that he was starting to remember. It seemed that remembering his past made his disguise fade, as though Selena’s magic thriv
