"Are you okay?" Vanessa asks, grabbing my arm and inspecting the welts I've given myself.
"Just crazy itchy. Ever since I connected with the book, it's like energy is just buzzing right below my skin. Like a million ants at a dance party.
She frowns. "I wish I knew more about magic and its side effects. I hate not knowing if these things are normal."
"No kidding" Pulling my arm away, I scratch at it again.
Marcus's voice cuts through the night air. "Time's up. Let's move. Ava, come up front this time."
I climb into the passenger seat, grateful for the change. At least I can stretch out my legs a little. The cracked leather beneath me is hard and pokey, but it's still an improvement. Vanessa takes the back, and I can feel her watchful gaze on me even in the darkness.
The truck rumbles to life, and we're back on the road. I lean my head against the cool glass of the window, my eyes searching the sky. The stars are bright out here, away from the city lights. It's been so long since I've really looked at them.

when no one knows where we are.
The Big Dipper comes into view, its ladle shape unmistakable. I trace it with my eyes, following the line to the North Star. It's supposed to be a guide, a constant in a chaotic world. Right now, I could use some of that stability.
My mind wanders to Lucas, wondering if he's looking at these same stars from his hospital bed. The thought sends a pang through my chest, sharper than any physical pain.
I hope he's okay.
