The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in bruises of purple and blood-orange. The air in the hollow changed. The birds fell silent. The wind died down. A heavy, expectant stillness settled over the forest, broken only by the rhythmic, low thud of drums starting up deep within the den.

But my hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold onto my table. Vera arrived at sunset, practically bouncing with excitement. “You look like you saw a ghost,” she said, taking in my pale face. “What happened?” I told her everything about Morrigan’s visit and Midnight's Mark.

The interior was just as it had been when I died—neat and tidy, except for some mess on the tables. That mess was from the days after my death, and they were caused by Toby's mischief. In the living room and near the wall, there were two chalk outlines—one large, one small. The large one was me. The small one was Toby. I had collapsed on my way back to the bedroom from the bathroom. Toby had died quietly in my arms.

"Mrs. Simpson, I beg you. Please tell me where Summer is buried. I'll do anything you ask me." "Absolutely not," Mom said mercilessly. Andrew had tried to get my skeleton back to the neurosurgical department, but unfortunately, since it was a specified donation, it couldn't be changed.
