Chapter 242: Caught in Limbo

Nina

Somehow, I managed to daze all of the guards at once.

But Enzo and I didn’t have time to stand around and try to figure out how I did it. There was no knowing exactly how long this spell of mine would last, and for all we knew Selena had already been alerted to our location. We seemed to have an unspoken agreement to run as fast as we could, and that was exactly what we did. We ran across the large lawn that led up to the mansion, weaving through the stupefied guards, and bolted up the steps to another door that was slightly off to the side. We could reuse the same entrance we had used before, but we also couldn’t simply walk in through the front doors. Instead, we used a small wooden door that was tucked into the corner of the mansion; and, much to my surprise, it opened to a set of stairs that were going down.

With one last apprehensive look at each other, Enzo and I shut the door behind us and began our descent.

The stairs led to some sort of old root cellar. The floors and walls were all made of cobblestone, and when I flicked on my phone’s flashlight, I noticed that there were rows of shelves containing all sorts of weapons.

This wasn’t a cellar; it was an armory.

And it was a packed one, at that.

Enzo walked over to a shelf that contained a large amount of swords and picked one up, inspecting it in the light of my flashlight.

“Damn,” he said quietly, turning the blade this way and that. “It looks razor sharp.”

I swallowed nervously. “Put it back,” I said. “We need to move.”

Enzo nodded and slowly put the sword back on the rack. I never explained to him the premonition that I saw in the portal about my life being intertwined with Selena’s, but I had a feeling that he knew something about it. But now wasn’t the time to talk about it.
