Hawthorn shakes their head. โ€œPlease, Iโ€™ve slept enough for now.โ€
Tybalt insists on putting Hawthorn back in the salt circle. He pointedly tells Ezra to stay out of it.
โ€œI'm going out. Llewellyn will be back soon. Aldenโ€™s in charge.โ€
The tiger yawns, lounging by the hearth.

Tybalt has a plan. he's just not good at sharing his thoughts, and isn't used to being second-guessed (because that won't cause problems... XD)

She was a #bonny lass, they sang, but sheโ€™s left nameless in these songsโ€”unlike the men she died for, the Johns or Jameses or Williams-fair. So Miss Alice went around to all the haunted spots, singing until the shades joined in, adding a verse with the beautiesโ€™ names.

In general: putting Hawthorn๐ŸŒธ back in the orb๐Ÿ”ฎ means Tybalt๐Ÿง™& Ezra๐Ÿ“œ will venture out.
If H๐ŸŒธ remains mobile, Ty๐Ÿง™ will venture out, H๐ŸŒธ&E๐Ÿ“œ will remain in the cottage ๐Ÿก
a future possibility: switching up the POV, following Ty๐Ÿง™ or Llew๐Ÿฆ (please comment your thoughts!)

He follows the haunting melody deeper into the cave, to a submerged dead-end. Several mermaids swim in the dark water, or lounge on rocks. When he adds his magic-tinged voice to their #harmony, most fall under his spell. But one, with shark-black eyes, shows her teethโ€ฆ

โ€œSo what happens now?โ€
Tybalt looks at Hawthorn. โ€œIโ€™ll ask proper permission, this timeโ€”โ€
โ€œWait a minute,โ€ Ezra protests. โ€œNot the orb again.โ€
โ€œTheyโ€™ll be safer, harder to track.โ€
โ€œWeโ€™re safe right here.โ€ Maybe thatโ€™s wishful thinking, butโ€ฆ โ€œHawthorn, what do you want to do?โ€

Alan goes to meet Death on the edge of town, at the #lightning -struck tree. It is rumoured to be a place of bad luck. (No kidding.)
โ€œAre you ready?โ€ Death asks.
No, never. But they shake hands. A tremor, a shift. Cass sighs.
Death picks up the scythe. โ€œSee you next year.โ€

(2/2) โ€œGuysโ€ฆdo you realize what this means?โ€ Mikey grabbed the notebook. โ€œWe could be rich!โ€
โ€œNo, no, noโ€”โ€ Sara swiped it back. โ€œThere are rules, lookโ€”you canโ€™t just magic up whatever you want.โ€
Of course, they didnโ€™t want to listen to her at that point.

โ€œJustโ€ฆwatch.โ€ Wielding a pen, she read aloud as she wrote: โ€œTrentโ€™s shirt turned red.โ€
And so it did.
โ€œOmigod,โ€ Nat said, โ€œcan you make me a blonde?โ€
Rolling her eyes, Sara wrote that as well, and they watched, #spellbound, as Natโ€™s dark curls turned golden.

โ€œSo we heard. He was a werewolf?โ€
Tybalt steps back as Ezra helps Hawthorn up the ladder. โ€œYes, called himself Grei. Alden sniffed him out. Llewellyn is following him now, making sure they donโ€™t cause trouble.โ€
โ€œโ€˜Theyโ€™?โ€
โ€œHe mentioned friends. He may run with a pack.โ€

She wavers as she walks, perhaps drunk. A flickering streetlight catches on her face as it swings side to side, on glitter, or tears, orโ€”the points blink, out of sequence. A face full of eyes, focused on you. Spiralling as she comes closer. You canโ€™t look away. You canโ€™t even screamโ€ฆ

(2/2) you wonโ€™t warm up for hours. You may have a different accent than before, a few memories that arenโ€™t your own. Youโ€™ll find yourself walking routes that are familiarโ€”but not to you.
And the dreams, of course. The dreams will linger. Of that place, of those lives. Always looking for a way out.

What signs hint that ghosts still linger?
The cold spots. If youโ€™re brave enough to stand in one, you may hear snatches of music or conversation from when the place was first built, in all its glory. But be careful: when you step out, your fingers may be frostbite blue, and
