survive this onslaught. Even if she didn't.
    She touched the match to the two white candles' wicks and waited a moment to make sure the flame caught. The last thing she needed was for them to blow out in the middle of her makeshift ceremony.
    She closed her eyes to center herself and block out the darkness. The door slammed open at the other side of the room. She jumped as the two candles snuffed out. Frowning, she turned around quickly, knowing exactly who it was: Marina.
    Marina stomped forward, her eyes blazing, her hands on her hips. "I felt a power surge but I couldn't believe it was coming from you. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Marina's eyes were huge. "You're a Healer. You remember what Veli said; 'Healers have no business trifling with such strong energy'."
    Ah yes, Charma could remember lots of things that Veli had said over the years. And probably much more acutely than Marina could. But she wouldn't correct the other woman. Not at the moment anyway.
    Charma swallowed. "The night is sick. It's infected. I need to heal it." How did you explain to someone that you had no choice?
    Asking her not to perform the ceremony was like asking her not to breathe, not to eat—it was akin to asking her to simply stop existing.
    Marina sighed. "You're incorrigible. Here." Marina grabbed Charma's arm and even the small contact made Charma want to cringe. Any physical contact when she felt like this was agony. "I'll distract you." Marina looked at Charma so expectantly Charma almost wanted to cry. She didn't have it in her tonight to do anything except take care of whatever was going wrong with the night. She wanted no human contact, no one needing anything from her.
    Charma pushed away Marina's arm and covered her chest with her own, trying to protect herself. To place a barrier between the rest of the world and her physical body. But the reality was—she knew better. There really was no choice except to let Marina say whatever it was that Marina had come up here to tell her. There would be no getting rid of her otherwise. "Tell me." She loved her like a sister even if sometimes Marina could make Charma crazy.
    "I've got one. A real live one. Maybe two even, but one of their energies keeps vanishing on me. It's very odd. I think there are two in the same place." Marina grinned.
    "You've got what?" Charma hoped this wasn't some kind of animal. A rat or a skunk or some other disgusting creature that Marina was using to improve her power base. She just couldn't deal with watching some small rodent floating around the room.
    "The locator spell worked. I found a missing member of our family. Maybe two. Another Outsider. One, at least, I'm sure about. There might be a second one there too but I'm not sure." The way Marina said the word Outsider was practically a screech. Charma placed a hand on her ear to stop the ringing.
    "That's great. How did you find her? The one you're sure about."
    "Him. It's a him and he's in New Jersey. I'm not even sure the other one is real. But the one that's solidly there is a him."
    "Not too far then. We'll send Leonardo to go make contact when he gets back from Europe." Leonardo had been gone for weeks searching a graveyard for Abraxas's lost journals. Three months ago, Isabelle had finally located them by travelling back in time to see Abraxas and to save Kal's life. At the time, their one-time leader, had been nearly dead and yet he'd told Isabelle where he'd hidden the journals they needed. Now, Leonardo looked for them.
    Things had become even more complicated when Leonardo had gone to retrieve the books and had gotten caught in the graveyard by local authorities. They thought he'd defaced a grave in the middle of the night. They hadn't appreciated his explanation that he was merely researching old folklore from the area. Kal had to fly to France to retrieve him and Isabelle had gone with him because, frankly, they just couldn't seem to bear being apart from each other.
    "An Outsider. I
