Chapter 18 Kidnapped

Cedric looked at Baz, who had arrived ahead of him. “Bring it here!”

Baz nodded. He removed the lid, revealing a voodoo doll written with Rita’s name.

Zera let out a horrified scream and hid behind Cedric. “See? Someone’s putting a curse on Mom! And there’s a familiar scent, but I can’t remember where I smelled it before.”

Cedric gave Baz a look.

Baz nodded and sniffed the faint fragrance on the doll. “It smells like perfume.”

Zera suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, I remember now. Maia always wore this perfume. Cedric, you smell the same. W–Were you with her just now?”

With a frown, Cedric took the voodoo doll and sniffed it. It was indeed the perfume Maia always wore.

“Stop her!” At Cedric’s command, Baz and others quickly blocked her path.
