Chapter 251

“It’s an elixir that contains Leyanne’s tears. She made it for my grandmother when she needed an ailment. I’m not sure what it does, but I used to play with it because it’s so pretty, and I was often scolded. A witch’s tears are powerful and only gift them to people they trust.” Sierra touches it once more lovingly, then retracts her hands and stares at it as though it will magically transform into something amazing. I just see a bottle of glitter water and sigh again. “So, what do we do with it? How do we ‘locate’ her?” I ask tentatively, air emphasizing the word with my comma fingers. Sierra sighs and presses her palms to her chest, over her heart. “We find the book which tells us how to perform a locator spell. It’s been nine years since I used it, and it’s rusty. I used it to find out where you were being cared for, Alora.” She smiles softly at me, and I gawp as I click on exactly what she means. The night Sierra crept into my room to bind us for eternity and protect me from Juan.
