Luke frowned and shook his head. “No… I thought she was with you.”

I felt my heart sink. Had something horrible happened to Nina, or had she gotten away somehow? If Tiffany was dead… What if Nina was dead, too?

“I have to find her,” I said as I tried to keep my head clear despite my pounding heart. “Sh-She could be hurt—”

“Where is she?” I growled. “What did you do with her?”

“It’s not necessarily what I did with her,” she said, grinning slyly. “I was just a little helper. Edward, on the other hand…”

My eyes widened. “Edward took her?”

Lisa nodded slowly. “You’re too late, though. He’s in the werewolf realm. She’s probably with The Sister now, anyway.” She looked so pleased with herself it made me want to throttle her, but I didn’t. I controlled myself and released my grip around her neck, stepping back and passing a hand over my face. I would have to find a way to open a portal, but… I didn’t know how.

He stood, pursing his lips. “I can. It’ll sap a lot of my energy, and it’ll probably turn me back into a skeleton, but… I’ll do anything for Nina.”

Luke began to open the portal. Meanwhile, I called over my shoulder to the others. “Make sure
