I nodded. “And I’m running out now. Unless you have a stash of Mage Bloom lying around and can find a witch who is versed in potions, we’ll deal with more angels until I find my wings.”
Until I got my magic back, actually. My wings were a missing limb and I desperately missed them but recovering them wouldn’t do much for me other than make me feel like an angel again. And allow me entrance to Elysium again.
“Actually, I know a witch who might have this plant.” Lacey leaned back in her seat and grabbed her phone.
“What?” I twisted in my seat to look at her.
She pressed a couple of buttons then put her phone to her ear. “Hi, it’s me. Yeah, I know. Listen, do you have Mage Bloom?” Her face fell. “No? Damn it. We really need it.” Her eyes met mine. “But you can get it. A lot of it? Then get it. We’re coming your way.” Beside me, Levi groaned. “Yeah, me, Levi, and a friend. All right. I’ll let you know when we arrive. Bye.”
“What happened?” I asked. I mean, I had heard it, but I needed confirmation.
“I found you a witch who can get Mage Bloom, and she’s talented with potions,” Lacey said, sounding proud. “If you know what else goes in the potions, or the gist of it, I’m sure she can do it.”
She had mentioned having a lot of Mage Bloom, and unless Sylvie was abusing me and my desperation, this plant was expensive. But I wouldn’t say no to this, even if I had to get there, buy the quantity I could pay for, and arrange to buy the rest later.
“That’s amazing. Thank you.”
Lacey shrugged and leaned over Levi’s seat again. “We have to change course.”
He met her eyes through the rearview mirror, fuming again. “You didn’t even ask me. I’m not willing to go there. It’ll add two days to this fucking trip.”
My shoulders sagged. Two more days?
“But you heard what Ariella said,” Lacey countered. “If she doesn’t have more of the potion soon, the angels are going to find her. Do you prefer adding two days of boring travel or dealing with a handful, maybe a dozen angels by ourselves? I know you’re powerful, but I doubt you can take a dozen angels, especially high-ranked ones, by yourself.”
Levi glanced at me, and for a moment, I thought he would strangle me. “This wasn’t part of your wish, sweetheart. I expect some kind of payment for this.”
Shit. “I’ll figure something out.”
Though we had left yesterday, we hadn’t gone far because of my wound. We were about thirty minutes north of Dallas, which meant, we still had a twenty-four-hour drive to San Francisco.
Levi reached to the car screen and pressed a couple of buttons, changing our destination to Durango, Colorado—about seven hours northwest. “I hope you have a thicker jacket, sweetheart.”
Damn, Colorado in February was a lot colder than Houston, but from the map, I could see it was on the southern border, so maybe it wasn’t so bad.
Without anything else to do for that long, I leaned back in my seat and tried to sleep.
Try being the important word of that sentence.
Despite yesterday’s fight, I was wound up and couldn’t shut off my brain.
The angels had found me again.
Had they erased the humans’ memories already? I opened the browser on my phone and searched for news about the gas station. I found some, but all the articles mentioned a freaky accident where a pump exploded and they didn’t know why. A few humans were hurt, but nothing critical.
Yup, they had done their homework already.
What would they do the next time they found me? Because they would find me again unless I could get plenty of potions.
How would I pay this witch? I had only a couple thousand dollars left. I would need to go back to Houston and fight three times per week, if not more, to pay for it.
But I couldn’t do that and retrieve my wings. I hoped this witch accepted what I had. Maybe I could find a fight club in Durango and earn some money.
Hm, not sure I liked the idea of fighting with Levi and Lacey around.
Maybe I could rob a bank.
I sighed.
