His head jerked up, and I thought he might have been relieved to see me. But then he turned back to the Itineris, crouching down to pull something out of a black duffel bag at his feet. \"Never hurts to be prepared,\" he said. \"It just seems like overkill when you already have a dagger and I have supernatural magic at my disposal.\" \"'Superpowerful?'\" He stood up, a gold chain dangling from his fingers. \"let me remind you of two words, Mercer: Bad. Dog. \" I rolled my eyes. \"That was nearly a year ago. I'm way better now.\" \"Yeah,well,I'm not taking any chances,\" he said. For the first time, I noticed there was some sort of holster thing on his back. He slid the sword into it so the hilt rose over his shoulders. \"Besides,\" he added, \"I thought you might not come. After what happened the other night...\" he paused, studying my face. \"Are you all right?\" \"I will be when people stop asking me that.\" \"You know I had nothing to do with that, right?\" \"Yeah,\" I replied. \"And if you did have something to do with it, I will vaporize you where you stand.\" The corner of his mouth quirked. \"Good to know.\" He closed the distance between us, coming to stand entirely too close to me. \"What are you doing?\" I asked, hoping I didn't sound as breathless as I felt. He lifted his hands, and with surprising gentleness, placed the chain around both our necks. Looking down at it, I saw that the links were actually tiny figures holding hands. I'd seen it somewhere before. \"This is the necklace one of the angels is wearing in the window at Hex Hall.\" \"It is indeed.\" Reaching down to take my hands, he explained, \"It's also a very powerful protection charm, which we're going to need.\" I swallowed as we laced our fingers and stepped closer to the Itineris. \"Why?\" \"Because we're going a very long way.\" I involuntarily squeezed his fingers with mine. The last time I'd traveled through the Itineris, I'd only gone a few hundred miles, and that had made my head nearly explode. \"Where are we going?\" I asked. \"Graymalkin Island,\" he answered.
