“A vision?”
Do humans get those? I thought that was a supernatural thing.
“Yeah, or, I don’t know what it was, but I saw a tapestry.”
My blood turns cold.
“You can’t have,” I mutter.
“Why? What does that mean? What is it?”
I sigh. All this is so much worse than I thought.
The tapestry, which currently resides in Ellis’ pack grounds, has been giving us hints about this curse ever since the first round of it began.
There was an initial image, and beneath that a second one—the one that’s currently still being shown on that cursed thing.
Personally, I try to stay away from it. Or leave it to the witches to figure out.
I tell all of this to Tara, and her face animates. “Yes. That makes sense, I think I’ve got a clue, I don’t know how or why—but you have to take me to it.”
This answer comes easy. “No.”
“Why not?”
I rub my temples; I should have never let her run out of the library like that. But I thought she was headed home.
“Because you don’t want to mess with this stuff, trust me. It’s probably a trap. As a human, there’s nothing you can do.”
“How can you say that,” she retorts. “When I literally saw something! As you said, the tapestry holds the clues; this could be huge.”
I sigh. “You don’t need to go to it, tell me what exactly you saw.”
She crosses her arms. “I’m not telling you until you take me to it.”
“Tara.”
“Actually, I can go by myself. I know the way to Ellis’ pack.”
She knows there’s no way I’d let her go alone.
“You don’t know where the tapestry is; you’ll never find it. You’re not going.”
She shrugs, daring me with her eyes. “Can’t be that hard. If I had to guess, a tapestry like that would probably be in the council meeting room or whatever you call it. If not, I’m sure Danielle will help me, and I don’t doubt she’ll be very excited to hear about this news.”
She’s smart. I’ll give her that.
“You don’t give up, do you?”
“Nope.”

It feels strange going into Ellis’ meeting hall at this hour, especially with a human, and especially with Tara after she was just almost killed.
Not to mention everything that happened before she left the library.
It’s been a weird ass evening, and no doubt it’s about to get stranger.
