Nix pushed forward. She pointed at the first symbol, a weird-looking N. She did this one on the bottom.

I shifted my hand into my claws and carved the N into the baseplate of the door frame.

Nix pointed at the circle with a line through it. This one is in the middle of the left- hand side. I carved mine in the same area. This one, a sideway S with a few dots, is on the top. I stood and went to carve the symbol above the door but Nix stopped me. Not there. She did it like the bottom on the top plate. Like the sides. I nodded and carved it into the crossbeam on the frame. And the last one was the star she did exactly across from the circle.

My closet was fine, but all of my supplies for the spell, gone. I patted my legs, just to make sure, but I was whole. Toya walked over
