I needed to find what Carl was talking about.
I flipped through the book, page after page, looking for anything that would do what he said. I groaned as I finished the book again. “I can’t find it.” Toya grabbed for the letter. “It’s not in there.”
“Just give me a second.” She opened the letter and read out loud. “Amy. I know you are confused about this room, but I made it specifically for you. You have a spell you can use in that rock of yours. You just have to modify it, shift it and repurpose it.” Toya paused. She put down the letter and looked at me. “There is nothing?”
I shook my head. “Nothing that I could think of.” I handed her the book, and she gasped. “What?”
She looked up. “It’s always so surprising to watch it shift from a rock to a book.” She smirked as she flipped through the pages. “He said it’s a spell that you would have to change, soit’s obviously for something else.” She kept flipping through the book.
I chewed on my lip. “A spell that what?”
Toya scrunched her face up. “I don’t know. It’s to help us get there, right?”
I closed my eyes and laid back on the bed. “A spell to help us connect to the cabin?”
Nix paced inside of my mind.We need more information.
Megan trotted over and sat.I don’t think we do. Your grandmother was a good witch, but she obviously left certain things out just in case someone stole her book.
I pursed my lips.So you think it’s a spell my grandmother knew?
Megan scoffed.Are you forgetting the underground passage from the gazebo to the cabin? A hallway that stretched a few hundred feet, but actually stretched across the country.
Her words bounced around in my mind. The passage from the gazebo on pack lands to the cave under the cabin. A connection. A bridge. I shot up. “Holy shit.”
Toya jolted. “You thought of something.” I nodded. “Did you figure it out?”
I held up my hand and closed my eyes again. “I don’t know.” I pictured what I would need to make this work. I felt a soft push, and the book was back into my hands, opened to a page. I looked down and froze. “What’s this?”
“Your book?” Toya sounded confused.
“No, the page.” I pointed to it, but Toya shrugged.
“That’s the page I was on when you jumped up.” She looked down at the book and laughed. “It’s a rock again, so I can’t see the page I was on.”
“It’s on a spell.” I whispered, staring at it.
Toya groaned and hit my shoulder. “Every page is a spell, Aim.” She shook her head. “What spell?”
“A simple recall spell.” I looked up at her, then back down to the page.
Toya nodded. “I’m nodding like I know what that means.” She looked back at me. “What does that do?”
“It brings a small item to you. Say you forgot your phone, you can recall it to you. Voila, you have your phone.”
“How the heck is that supposed to help us?” Toya shuffled closer and grabbed the edge of the book. I looked at her.
“Does that work?”
She nodded. “Yeah, as long as I have one hand on the book, it’s a book.” She looked over the page. “I still don’t understand how it can help us.”
“See here.” I pointed out a note, written in small handwriting in the margin. “It states that this spell opens a pathway. A pathway big enough to reach the object you are looking to recall.”
“So like a wormhole?” Toya looked back at me with a raised eyebrow.
“I never should have shown you that sci-fi show.” I shook my head. “But yes, like a wormhole.” I stared down at the page and willed it to tell me how to do it. I chewed on my lip.
“Can you make it bigger?” Toya looked at the page.
