Willow’s POVI had gotten to class before I noticed that Mia was not by my side. I had to go back out to find her. I found her squatting in a middle of the hallway, clutching her chest. I did not need to ask her what happened, to know what had transpired. I recognised that look in her eyes and the tremor in her body. “Mia” I called gently and helped her up.“I don’t want to go to class” she said weakly. I completely understood her. When I was rejected I felt like ditching everything too.“Where do you want to go?”“Anywhere” I hung her hand over my shoulder and led her out of the school. Somehow, no teacher caught us. I didn’t know where to take her and how to get anywhere with her in her weak state. I was also still very traumatised and did not want to be outside alone but looking at Mia’s face, I could not refuse. I needed to get Mia away from the school, but I didn't have a car. My first instinct was to call Julian, but I realized that I didn't even have his number.I pulled

Willow’s POV Mia made payments for the hair and we left the salon. I thought we’d go back to school but Mia didn’t want to. And I was glad she didn’t want to. There was no point. After everything that had happened, neither of us was in the mood to face the hallways. Instead, we headed straight to her house. I also still felt very conscious of my new hair and I was not ready for the glares. As we walked to her home, I pulled out my phone to check my messages. I was looking for one name. Lucas. The text I had sent him earlier was still there. I saw two grey ticks next to it. It had been delivered, but the ticks hadn't turned blue. He hadn't even opened it. He hadn't seen my request for Julian’s number. I felt a sharp pang of disappointment. I knew he was trying to place a wall between us but I wondered if he was even okay. I had not seen him since the pool. I tried to shake the image of his icy gaze at the pool out of my head, but it stuck there, reminding me of how quickly

Willow’s POV It took a long time but Mia was finally ready. I could already hear the music from the living room. People were already arriving. Mia was my only friend but I was not her only friend. She had other friends from the market, from middle school and from the time she was in the school band. We stepped out of the bedroom and made our way to the top of the stairs. As soon as our feet hit the first step, the loud, bumping music suddenly slowed down to a soft rhythm. Every single head in the room turned to look up at us. I froze for a second. There were so many people packed into the house. Someone must have spread the word around school because even if Mia had other friends, she definitely did not have this many friends. A loud cheer erupted from the crowd for the birthday girl. People started clapping and whistling. Mia soaked it all in with a massive grin and walked down the rest of the stairs to join the fun. I followed closely behind her, but the moment we reached the bo

Willow’s POVIt was from Enchantia. I recognized the scent.“I know where this is from” I reached out and the moment my hand touched the cold iron metal, my eyes shut close, I felt a strange wind and my head flew back with a force I couldn’t control. I felt a tremor in my bones and then I saw it.The place was white at first and then it became clear. I was back in Enchantia. In the lab the king had shown us. The king was there too, holding a trap just like the one here.“We just need to catch one wolf” the king said, handing the trap over to a man dressed in black.The man wanted to speak but before he could, my eyes opened up and a loud gasp escaped me as I tried to breathe.I clutched my chest and bent forward to get my bearings.What the heck was that?Did I just see a vision?I felt hands on my shoulder, grounding me.“What happened? You looked like you were having a seizure”Lucas’s voice sounded miles away, distorted by the ringing in my ears. His grip on my shoulders was fir

Willow’s POV“Where’s Julian?” Mia asked me impatiently. We stood by the edge of the parking lot and we stared at the arriving cars. We were both waiting for Julian to arrive but the space where he usually parked remained empty.“I don’t know where he is. I didn’t see him this morning either” this was very unlike Julian. He had never missed a day of giving me a ride. He took his job very seriously. “Are you serious? What if he is in danger?” Mia’s voice climbed an octave, her eyes went wide with a panic that was starting to become a little contagious.“I’m sure he is fine” I said, though I wasn't entirely convinced. I pulled Mia toward the hallway to get her out of the wind. “Let’s find Logan and ask him. He may know what happened to him”As we walked through the halls, I pulled out my phone and hit Julian’s contact for the third time. It went straight to a generic recording. “His cell is still switched off” I muttered. We took a sharp turn toward the back of the building, heading
