Nix ran past everyone on campus and headed for the trees. I pulled back enough that I was hovering over our magic, pulling from it to feed power into my body, into the girls‘ bodies.

“How is this possible?” Toya called to me and I laughed.

“Magic.” Nix called back and a few of the girls howled.

We ran past the edge line of the trees and starting weaving through the trunks. “Nix?” Thistle called Hanna’s wolf.

“Yeah?”

“Where are we going?” She called as she picked up her pace.

I thought of Carly. She was at most seven, but she sounded younger on the phone, closer to five or six. I knew where she was, my grandmother’s cabin, but from here, I had no idea. But I trusted the goddess, and I trusted my wolves. “The goddess will show us the way.” Nix called back and I nodded.

Megan pushed closer to the barrier. “Megan? What are you doing?”

She looked at me, then back to Nix. “You are wasting magic feeding Nix. Focus on the girls, I will send my strength to Nix. This way we will have your strength and our magic to save the girl.”

I thought about Carly’s little voice, and I agreed. “Nix?”

“It’s okay with me. We just need to get there.” I nodded and pulled back the magic, giving the burden to Megan and Nix alone. There was a howl off in the distance, one that sounded familiar, but I pushed it out of my mind. It wasn’t important.

Carly was.

We wove farther away from the school, and I was starting to panic. How we were supposed to randomly show up on the edge of an ocean? I knew logically we were by one; the school was near the coast. But was it the right coast?

I closed my eyes, and I called to the goddess. “Mother, I have need of you. Moon goddess, we beg your intervention.” I called out and I waited. I pushed and pushed, but there was nothing. No light. No power. Nothing.

Megan looked over at me. “What are we going to do?” Nix focused on the trees, but I could feel the shift. We were taking too long. That little baby girl and her father were fending off who knows what, and I had no idea where we

were.

“Nix?” someone called, and it snapped our focus back outward. We had pulled in, focused on the girl that someone caught up to us.

I snapped my head back to look at Wendy’s wolf, but she wasn’t looking at me. She was looking back at the massive grey wolf catching up to us. Every once in a while, I saw a flash of fur. Of pale white blue eyes and my stomach dropped.

Erubus.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Megan’s voice was filled with rage and I couldn’t stop the bitter laugh. She turned on me and I slapped a hand over my mouth, “Why is it that today, of all days, both your fucking men decide to show up and do something stupid?”

She huffed as she settled on the ground, focusing back on Nix and her running. Nix barely looked back before she focused fully on running. And I left myself open to figure out what direction we needed to go,

I closed my eyes and remembered the call. Her little voice was terrified, but also held a deep sadness. This was the
