Alaskan Magic: Shadows of Alaska Book 1
Page 25
“It’s not Indigo,” I said.
Mason and his family were outside of their home as well. The streets were full and some of the magicals were already trying to repair the protective field.
“They tried to take Lily,” Mason said.
“You fought them off?” I asked.
“You need to go!” Janice said coldly to me.
I added my magic to the protective field for the village. “Is she okay?”
“I got them out of the house. We need to search the village to be sure,” Mason said.
Kneeling down, I touched the Earth and searched for intruders.
“Can you feel anything?” he asked.
“Not Indigo. I’m not sure about the others. How many?” I asked.
“Two. I injured one,” Mason said.
“They were looking for you,” Janice said.
That didn’t add up. “I’m not hard to find.”
“You need to be out of the village and not come back,” Janice said.
Margo put her hand on Janice’s shoulder. “You know her magic helps with the protection.”
“She made us a target. They came after Lily to get to her,” Janice argued.
“I’ll go,” I said to Mason.
“No, you can’t fight Indigo and his team alone,” he replied.
“I’m not sure if I could kill Indigo. I’m not sure what he is. I was hoping time here would help uncover what I really am. But I’m more of a problem,” I said.
“Good. Go,” Janice said.
“She needs to build her powers,” Mason replied.
“She can just steal them.” Janice shrugged.
Margo held up her hand. “Janice, you must stop. The council voted to give Dot sanctuary to heal and grow stronger. Mason is still healing as well, and he may need her. We’ll add to the protective field, but you must take authority over your house and protect your own daughter.”
Janice stalked toward her house. When she got to the porch, she turned. “Mason, you need your rest.”
Mason shook his head. “I’m going to stay at the volunteer post.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Janice said.
“He’s a grown man,” Margo cut in.
I put my hand on Margo’s shoulder. “She’s affected by the attack.”
“I need to be away from them,” Mason said.
I put an extra field of protection around Janice’s house. “Sleep on Margo’s couch. We need to stick close together just in case. Stay close and start to track Indigo and helpers.”
Mason followed Margo back to the house.
“Don’t be silly,” Janice said.
Margo sighed. “I’ll go talk to her.”
“She’s blaming it all on me. That or Lily is sharing her curse with her mom, and I’m the target of the hate,” I advised.
“It’s not your fault.” Mason took my hand.
He was safe from the curse so far. Part of me wanted to leave the village, hopefully draw the evil warlocks away. But I had so few allies that I couldn’t afford to lose Mason now.
