Chapter 190

190- Freezing and feeling

My thoughts turn back to the tracking spell that Cam made for us. I am officially desperate enough totry anything. I can’t leave Kiara there anymore.

Ryann- The tracking spell you gave us. How well do you need to know the person you’re tracking? Is itbased on how long you’ve known them? How much time you’ve spent together? How much the time isvalued?

Cam–Well, it is based more on the emotional connection between two people. So usually people whohave strong emotional connections ARE people who have spent a lot of time together, but there’s norequirement. As long as both parties are emotionally close the spell should be able to latch onto that.

Ryann–So what if theoretically the two people had never met in person, but there was a strongemotional attachment regardless?

Cam–You mean yourself, don’t you? Look, I can’t guarantee that the spell will work for you. I mean,with all the effort you’ve put in I’m fairly sure that your emotional attachment is close enough. Thequestion is whether Kiara has an emotional attachment to you.

Ryann- I mean, I THINK she does. We haven’t spoken much but she knows I’m looking for her. She’s…counting on me.

Cam- It’s worth a shot. The worst that could happen is the spell doesn’t work and you end up with anasty headache.

Ryann- In that case I’m going to do it. Well, I’ll talk to Bellamy first. But It’s definitely happening.

Cam–Okay. Well, to use the spell just tip it over your hand and arm with your palm facing upwards. Youcan think of it like a metal detector, or that game hot and cold. You should feel something in your hand

when it’s facing towards her and it will get more noticeable the closer you get. It might not help if she isreally far away, but since we’re fairly sure she is still in the city IF the tracking spell works for you, thenshe should be in range.

Ryann- Thank you so much Cam. Please let me know if there’s ever anything I can do for you. Even ifthis doesn’t work, you’ve been so helpful. No wonder Harry likes you so much.

Cam- HAH! I wouldn’t use HIM as a measure of a person. I mean, who DOESN’T he like?

Ryann- He is a friendly guy, but I trust his opinions. He’s always been a good judge of character. Imean, would it be better if he hated everyone?

Cam- I suppose not. Anyway, tell me how the tracking spell goes. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed foryou. Good luck!

Oh, there she goes. I guess she isn’t quite ready to believe that Harry might actually be genuine in hisattentions just yet. Poor guy. It’s not his fault that he’s an Incubus. It is true that a lot of Incubi do cheaton their partners, but that’s usually only the ones who are jerks and enjoy making people fall for them.Harry might sleep around a lot (although not so much recently) and he is definitely an incorrigible flirt,but he never lies or pretends to have feelings. He doesn’t lead anyone on or leave them with falseimpressions. I hope Cam doesn’t go too hard on him. He might be taking it well now, but the longer sherefuses to believe he means what he’s saying, the more likely it is to hurt his feelings. Not that he wouldadmit it. As if summoned by my thoughts, Harry messages the group chat.

COCK TALES

190- Freezing and feeling

Harry- So I’m a little confused by the most recent drink Cam has given me….

Megan- Confused how?

Darrien- Is it actually safe for consumption? If so, I can see how that might be different to usual.

Harry- It’s frozen.

Ryann- Frozen… like a slushie?

Harry- No, like the entire drink is a solid chunk of ice.

Bellamy- Are you sure it’s even an alcoholic drink? I didn’t think you COULD freeze a drink like that.Did she take it

out of a freezer?

Harry- That’s the weird thing. She just… poured it. Then I tried to drink it but… I can’t. It’s like a rock.

Amber- Damnit. I can’t believe I didn’t get to see you trying to drink that. What a disappointment.

Megan- Now you know how the rest of us feel.

Bellamy- I bet that bar has security cameras. We know the bartender. I bet if you bribe her you couldget your hands on the footage….

Ryann HAH. Oh I’m totally going to ask sometime.

Harry You guys are useless.

Darrien- How did she even manage to freeze the alcohol, particularly so fast?

Megan–.I blame magic. Always blame magic.

Darrien- Fair enough.

Harry- You guys! I need HELP. How am I meant to drink this? It could take HOURS to melt. Am Isupposed to just SIT here all night?

Amber- Weren’t you planning to do that anyway?

Harry-…

Harry. You have a good point. I guess there’s no rush. Maybe this is her way of hinting that she wantsme to stay late.

Bellamy–That might be reading into it a little much. But sure, whatever makes you happy.

Darrien- Megan and I just finished making dinner Ryann.

Ryann- Alrighty, on my way down now.

Bellamy–Eagerly anticipating your return.

190- Freezing and feeling

Amber- Rolling my eyes.

Harry- Ew,

I head downstairs and Bellamy meets me in the hall and greets me with a quick k*ss. We head into thekitchen and replace that Darrien and Megan have set up a ‘build your own taco‘ station at the dining table.When we’re all settled and eating, I inform everyone of my intention to try the tracking spell.

“Cam says that it might work, if the emotional connection between Kiara and I is strong enough, andworst case it does nothing. It’s worth a shot. I don’t know why I feel the need to justify my decision somuch. No one is even arguing with me.

“That’s fair. We can do it tomorrow. Just give me time to get the team together so we can be ready if itdoes work. We should also replace out if Alex learned anything from the computer. We might be able tonarrow down the search area or something.” I feel a sudden rush of affection for Bellamy. Not only is hebacking my plan, but he’s coming up with ways to make it work more efficiently.

“You should try to tell Kiara that we’re coming. I think it might make the spell work better. If she’sexpecting you, she will be thinking about you. That seems like it might help with the whole emotionalconnection thing, right?” Megan suggests. Darrien nods approvingly at her and the pride in his eyes isalmost embarrassing to watch. Bellamy also agrees that it’s worth a shot. We decide to try the spelltomorrow at about midday. It gives me time to wake up, try to warn Kiara that we are (hopefully) comingand use the potion. It also gives Bellamy time to communicate with the team and Alex about whateverhe might have found.

After contacting Kiara, I’m exhausted again. As a result I’m practically falling asleep at the dinner table.Darrien Volunteers to coordinate with Alex to make arrangements for tomorrow and to my surprise,Bellamy agrees to let him manage things. I must look more tired than I thought because Bellamypractically drags me upstairs. We rush through our nighttime routines and for what is probably the firsttime in my adult life, I go to bed early without complaint. We are both in bed and asleep before it evenhits nine at night.
