True Luna by Tessa Lilly

Chapter 216: Chapter 216 – The spell

Emma’s POV

“Be careful, Emma, please,” Anna mumbled as she watched me light the candles.

I glanced at the book, checking the spell once again. I had to be careful and do this right. Not because I could get hurt, but because I needed to find out if my daughter was okay.

The name of the spell was The Elemental Binding Spell and it was used to bind the elements together. I twisted it a little bit and made it bind elementals, not elements. I was hoping that it would bind Sophia and me long enough for me to know if she was okay. I was hoping it would help me connect with my daughter. I was hoping that it would let me know what I was yearning to know.

I lied to Logan earlier. Well, lied is a harsh word. I didn’t lie, but I didn’t tell him the whole truth either. I didn’t find the spell I was going to use. I found a similar one and twisted it.

I knew that what I was doing was dangerous, but I just couldn’t live with the pain of not knowing if Sophie was okay. I needed to know.

I lit the last candle and looked up at Anna.

“Are you sure about this, Emma?” she asked worriedly.

“Yes,” I said as I walked into the middle of the circle I made. “I need to know if my daughter is okay.”

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I envisioned my beautiful little girl and my heart clenched painfully. I missed her so much. I needed to hold my baby in my arms. I needed to tell her how much I loved her. I needed her in my arms. It was the safest place she could be. I would wreak havoc on anyone who would try to take her from me.

I felt the tears in the corners of my eyes and I took another deep breath. I didn’t have time to cry. I needed to do the spell now.

I heard the door opening and I opened my eyes.
