Skye’s POV

The world came to me in blurred shapes, slowly, as if a camera was gradually being pulled into focus. Sounds filtered into my ears, indistinct and spaced out– ringing in my ears at intervals. I strained his ear by tilting my head to the side and closing my eyes.

I heard nothing except for what sounded like a drop of water touching a large pool of water.

I looked around and saw that I was surrounded by tall trees towering monumentally above me.

I realised that he was muddy and mo

    Skye’s POVThe world came to me in blurred shapes, slowly, as if a camera was gradually being pulled into focus. Sounds filtered into my ears, indistinct and spaced out– ringing in my ears at intervals. I strained his ear by tilting my head to the side and closing my eyes.I heard nothing except for what sounded like a drop of water touching a large pool of water.I looked around and saw that I was surrounded by tall trees towering monumentally above me.I realised that he was muddy and moist — my feet sogged in mud and dead vegetation.Becca! I yelled.Sam! Cole!I moved slowly through the damp grassland, feet sticking in the mud with each step.Then suddenly I stopped, my progression halted by realization.There are no animal sounds, this is a forest, there should be animal sounds .It’s all quiet except for that annoying trickle‘Where am I?” I muttered.“Becca!”I stood still, trying to get a sense of my surroundings. Trying to figure out where to go. The trees all looked th

    BECCA'S POVThe Librarian snapped her fingers.The world didn't fade or blur or dissolve. It simply stopped existing. One moment I was standing in the warm, golden glow of the Library of Lost Things, surrounded by my friends. The next, they were gone—vanished like they'd never been there at all."Wait—" I spun around, searching frantically. "Where are my friends? What did you do with them?"The Librarian stood with her back to me, those mismatched eyes—one gold, one silver—studying something I couldn't see with intense focus. "Somewhere they can't interfere," she said, her voice carrying that musical-thunder quality that made my bones vibrate. "This is something you must do alone.""Bring them back!" I demanded, my voice cracking with fear and fury. "Bring them back right now!"She didn't even turn around.Panic clawed up my throat. Sam, still weak from blood loss. Skye, drowning in guilt and hunger. Cole, unconsci

  • Crestfall High    CHAPTER TWENTY.

    BECCA'S POVWe stood at the edge of the monolithic structure, staring at the reality-defying landscape before us, none of us daring to speak. The wind whispered through the golden grass in a language I didn't understand, and the mint-green trees swayed without leaves to rustle. Everything about this place felt wrong—beautiful, yes, but wrong in a way that made my witch instincts snatch at my guts."We need to move," Cole said finally, his voice rough. He'd shifted back to human form and was using torn pieces of his shredded clothes to maintain some semblance of modesty. "Standing here leaves us exposed. Visible.""Visible to what?" Sam asked, wrapping her arms around herself. Despite the mild temperature, she was shivering. "What could possibly live in a place like this?""Nothing good," I muttered, scanning the horizon. The curved sky made everything feel claustrophobic despite the open space—like we were trapped inside a snow globe. "This isn't Earth

    Becca’s POV‘They won’t stop coming, ' Skye yelled while plunging fist into the throat of a creature that looked like a rabbit-toad hybrid.‘We’ll take them, we can take them,” Cole rasped back with a wolfish snarl.“Bad idea wolf boy” Skye retorted,fizzing through the arena with the speed of a man bullet.”They won’t die. If we continue like this, we’ll be the ones to die here”I looked around to see all kinds of abominations coming at us from all sides relentlessly–jaws wide open,claws locked and loaded. Desperate to protect us from what looked like imminent death, I closed my eyes and imagined us being safe and warm and protected. As if responding to my thoughts and desires,a warm energy swirled from the pit of my stomach–moving like a spirally swirly pool. It reached for the crown of my head before exploding outwards from me,creating a chilly windy blast that cascaded into a warm pulsing energy.I opened my eye

  • Crestfall High    CHAPTER NINETEEN

    BECCA'S POV The drive back to Crestfall was suffocating.Skye gripped the steering wheel with a tension that made his knuckles bone-white, his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle jumping beneath his skin. Every few seconds, he'd wince like something hurt, then force his expression back to neutral. But I saw it. I saw the way his hands trembled slightly. The way he kept licking his lips like his mouth was unbearably dry. The way his eyes—when I caught glimpses of them in the dashboard light—seemed darker somehow...Deeper."Skye," I said for the third time since we'd left the city. "What did my mother do to you?""I told you. She did what she needed to." His voice was flat, emotionless, so unlike the warm, genuine Skye who'd held me while I cried just hours ago."That's not an answer!""It's the only answer you're going to get." He pressed harder on the gas, the speedometer climbing past eighty. "Your mother made me promise. She said if you knew beforehand, you'd try to stop u

  • Crestfall High    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    BECCA'S POVThe antique shop in the city was nothing like Mrs. Wonders's place back in Crestfall. Where that one had been dark and mysterious, dripping with a dark dull vibe and secrets, this location was bland—almost sterile. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting everything in a harsh white glow that made my head ache. Shelves lined the walls in neat rows, each item carefully labeled and priced. It looked more like a storage facility than a magical repository.I hated it on sight."Your mom had two very different approaches to business," I muttered, watching Skye lock the front door and flip the sign to "CLOSED."He glanced back at me, and I caught a grief tighten his face. "Mom always said the city shop was for paying bills. The Crestfall shop was for paying debts." He paused, his hand still on the door. "I never really understood what she meant."The weight of everything that had happened washed al
