“You did it, James.” The priest squeezed my shoulder.

My brain hurt when I tried to think, but I managed to ask, “What did I do, exactly.”

“But she can use other Doors, right, so what’s the big deal? I nearly died - are you telling me she can come for me again?”

He started shaking his head even before I finished talking. “No, no. Helena won’t be able to step foot in France - she will have no access to her power here, she would be as a normal woman. And you can believe she would never willingly relinquish her power in such a manner.”

“No, of course not. Who would want to be a normal person?”
