Chapter 135: Sacred Circle

Greta and August arrived in front of Sylvia's shop in the Jeep with Finn somewhere in the shadows. It was reassuring to know he was there, but the fact that August couldn't hear him or see him was a little unnerving. That meant that anyone here could be a few breaths away, stalking just a few paces back in the woods without her even knowing.

"Before we go in," Greta stopped. "I have an idea. Why don't you try focusing your senses to see if you can tell where Finn is right now."

"What do you mean? That doesn't have anything to do with the Veiled," August frowned.

"Maybe it does," Greta shrugged. "Just give it a try."

August looked around, not even knowing where to begin. She let the Veiled grow larger to her eyes, and she was met with the thrumming life of the forest on the air.

She exhaled deeply and closed her eyes to focus on the forest around her. Maybe she could sense Finn in a different way that didn't involve her eyes.
