CHAPTER 114

~Valerie's POV~

I reached for my phone, snapped a picture, and a text came through before I could even type anything.

Unknown Number [9:34 PM]: Hey, library partner. Gotten to your room safely?

I blinked, then realized. Ash.

Still using that encrypted texting line. I didn't even save the number. I replied quickly with the picture attached.

Me: Look. The symbol's gone. Same runes as before. Was it just us or a trick of the light? Magic? I don't know what to think right now.

The dots on the screen blinked for a moment, then came his response.

Ash [9:35 PM]: Relax. It's okay. Magic doesn't always behave. Sometimes it reacts, sometimes it hides. It'll show itself again. Maybe tomorrow, that's if what we saw was real. If not, perhaps we were both too engrossed, and it played a trick of light on us. 

Me: On both of us? Can't be right?

Ash: It can. Just breathe, Nightshade. Sleep first.

I hesitated.

Then typed:

Me: Alright. Good night, Ash.
