knew what we were looking at.
    He shook his head. “Amaya, why did you agree to bring this weird note for some creepy woman you claim not to know?”
    “She threatened my family.” Amaya curled her lip. “I realized it was better to bring the stupid note than anger her. Although, you better pretend you found this in your room because I will kill you if something happens to my family. It’s your fault I didn’t leave the note where I was supposed to. Only Adrian was supposed to be here, talk to me, and then I’d sneak into your room.”
    “What if I actually agreed to come to your imaginary therapy sessions?” Adrian chuckled.
    “Oh, please. I know you. You never would have agreed to such a thing.” She toyed with a strand of her dark hair. “Besides, the therapy is real. I could have easily convinced my therapist that I wanted you with me so I could deal with my problems.”
    Adrian’s smile faded. “Is this all you had to do? Just deliver the paper?”
    She nodded.
    “Then go,” I said.
    “Gladly.” She made a mocking bow and strode toward the door. “I hope I never see you again.” She muttered as she closed the door behind her. Well, I couldn’t agree more with her last comment.
     

Chapter 06
     
     
    I turned the paper to the left, then flipped it to another side. “I have no idea what I’m looking at.”
    “Me neither,” Adrian said. We’d been examining the symbol from every possible angle and we still didn’t know anything about it or what it could represent. “I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
    “The search engine doesn’t recognize it either.” I closed my web browser with a frustrated sigh. The symbol was some kind of a cross between a crown, rose or something weird, maybe a representation of magic or some abstract concept.
    “But for some reason the mysterious woman thought you’d know what it means or she wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble to deliver it to you.”
    “I don’t know. Maybe she was trying to scare me. I mean, are we talking about the same woman who attacked me or someone else?” I’d never think I’d have enemies once I stopped being the president of the Element Preservers.
    “Could be.” He shrugged. “But if it is, she could have handed you that paper while she was here.”
    “Not if she wanted to make sure I see it and not someone else. There was a lot of mess in the room and someone could have thrown the paper into the trash with the debris. Besides, she wouldn’t have needed the note if she had managed to kidnap me.” I got up and left the paper on the desk. My head was already starting to hurt from staring at the symbol for too long.
    “We can show the symbol to Lily,” Adrian offered.
    I shook my head. “I don’t want to tell her about this. It feels personal. Besides, Lily has enough of problems with all the unrest among carriers and non-carriers. We should get out of here.”
    “Are you sure you feel fine enough to leave?” Worry creased Adrian’s brow.
    “Yeah.” I placed my hands around his neck. “In fact, I couldn’t feel Amaya’s element at all.” I grimaced. “Well, except for all that water that ended up in my face.”
    “What?” His face brightened, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Are you trying to say you don’t have the disease anymore? But I couldn’t feel Amaya’s element when I touched you.”
    “I don’t know. I just don’t feel elements anymore, I guess.” We didn’t know what happened when a carrier touched a person who didn’t have any kind of an element, not even a dormant one, so it was hard to tell whether I still had the disease or not. Even if the lack of symptoms of the disease was only temporary, I still wanted to leave this place and get somewhere safe. “All I know is that I don’t want to be trapped here anymore.”
    Adrian bent his head and pressed his forehead against mine. “I’m glad to hear that. We should start packing.” He started to turn away
