Chapter 16

• I watched as they talked, went in the house a few times with Clairee, the witch, and the greasy mage. So far no one told me the plan, so I waited. Michael and the one I’d called Tarzan, Rafael was his name, were talking to Leone out of hearing range. I don’t know what they were talking about, but Leone was waving his hands around and all three, kept looking at me every few seconds. I decided I preferred feeling invisible as I had for most of my life.
• They all started walking toward me, I glanced behind me hoping there was someone else waiting, and that’s where they were really going. There wasn’t. Wrapping my arms around my waist, so I wouldn’t go with my gut reaction and toss energy at them, I waited.
• Leone stopped in front of me, a look of indecision on his face. “I’ll take you to see the witch.”
