260 Ava: Call It
"I know" Nibbling the side of my finger, my brows pull together. Why would he tell me to keep it safe, knowing it might be too dangerous?
What were the words he used again? They seemed significant.
"Ava, I need you to tell me you're not going to the Blackwood territory."
Jerking my head up, I blink at Vanessa's worried stare. "I'm not going. I'm just trying to think."
My brain's dead set on remembering what Magister Orion said.
What was it?
Call my book?
Yeah, that's it.
"The book is useless to anyone even if they find it," Marcus says, his words soft. Is he trying to comfort me? "Don't worry, Ava. It'll be a paperweight. Or, if we're lucky, they'll be allergic. Like Selene." He is trying to comfort me.
How sweet.
"That's if we assume they don't know how to open it. The knowledge has been lost to us, but there are Fae involved now, remember?"
Marcus sighs. "Life was casier without this magic shit," he mutters, almost too soft for me to

Her eyes squint as she thinks it through. "That sounds right. But what does it mean? Can you move it from place to place with your magic?"
My nose itches, and I rub at it in frustration. "I think that's exactly what he means, but I have no idea how to implement it." A long sigh, filled with regrets and lack of time. Time is always in short supply. "I wish Magister Orion had taught me something like that before everything happened."
Vanessa's lips quirk into a small smile. "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
I stare at her for a moment, the unexpected phrase catching me off guard. Then, despite the
gravity of our on a laugh bubbles up from my chest. "I haven't heard that phrase since I
was in human school."
