embarrassment.
    “I’ll have you in your own room in fifteen minutes. Can you wait that long? If you can’t there is a toilet at the back of the plane, but we are about to land.”
    “I think I can wait.”
    Rainey pulled out her cell and called Abe. There was only half a ring when he answered the phone.
    “Where the hell are you, Rainey?”
    “I will be there in less than fifteen minutes. I need to talk to you – another vision, don’t ask. Oh, and Ariana needs a room.” She held her breath. Would he get her cryptic message?
    “Oh, is she with you? What has she said? What do you think she’s thinking? How much did you tell her? Does she know about… me?” Abe blurted, then he cleared his throat and continued in a more composed tone of voice. “I mean, I’ll call Lydia to get her a room and I will meet you in your lair in twenty five minutes.”
    “See you in twenty-five, Abe.” Rainey hit the end button on her cell as she rolled her eyes. Puppy love, she thought.
    “Do you see that, Ariana?” Rainey nodded, looking through the front window at the ocean below them.
    Ariana followed her gaze. “See what? I see a lot of water, which really isn’t making me very comfortable at this precise moment. Why?”
    It always entertained Rainey to watch the faces of the new arrivals when they watched the island appear out of nowhere. She smiled and lifted the illusion so the young woman could see it. “La-ca-de-man-ce-lono.”
    Ariana inhaled sharply. “Oh my God, Rainey! How did you do that? I know, I know – you’re a witch. I got that. But it’s amazing. The island looks so pretty.”
    Rainey let her look out for a minute and busied herself with the controls.
    “This witchy stuff,” Ariana asked, turning her back on the window; the plane was losing altitude fast now, and her stomach felt like it had decided to move house somewhere higher up her esophagus. “Is it something you learn, or something you’re born with? Can you teach me?”
    Well, at least she wasn’t opposed to the supernatural. “Easy, Blondie, slow down. Geez, do you ever ask one thing at a time? If you don’t have any witch blood in you, I won’t be able to teach you a thing, but if you do, it will be easy. We can look into that, if you like. Once you’re settled ,” she stressed the last word. Provided you have enough patience to do even that, she mumbled to herself.
    “What?”
    “I was just thinking aloud – I’ll need some information about your family lineage, and we’ll have to test your brain waves and a few other things with some instruments I made. They’re all in my lair. We can try the spell first, but I don’t know if it’ll work. I haven’t ever tried it before. That would be the easy way. If it works, that is.”
    “You’re going to try a new, untested thing on me? A spell you’ve never tried before? Great! Thanks. I see my decision of coming here was a brilliant idea.”
    “Relax. You’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
    “Trust me, you don’t want me to relax one muscle. Not until I’ve been to the bathroom. And what the hell is a lair?”
    “Every witch has a lair. And not just witches, even you have one. It just means a place where one retreats, a den or place of rest. Witches protect their den with spells and…”
    “I bet you soundproof yours,” Ariana interrupted.
    “Har, har. I haven’t made anyone scream yet, though I’ll admit I have been tempted once or twice. Like when people talk too much, for example.” Ariana closed her mouth and crossed her arms tightly, her retort dying on her lips. “I’ll continue, then,” Rainey said, smiling. “I do most of my work in my lair. Spells, readings, research, you know? {{And whilst it may not be soundproofed,}} no one can enter my lair without my permission. I have a wicked sense of humor.”
    “I’ll say,” Ariana mumbled softly under her breath.
    The plane touched down on the island’s airstrip and the two girls walked towards the sweetest car
