“It’s enchanted.” I shook my head. “I think we need Riviana. Nathair, please go and get Queen Riviana for me.” I instructed him and he disappeared after a quick nod. “This is something that we should leave up to someone with magic like her.”
A few minutes later, Nathair returned with Riviana and the others. They had supposedly finished searching the house and was happy to have been called out here to see what we had found.
I had re-covered the door while Riviana was on her way here to stop the temptation of the others, and myself. We didn’t need to test it again to see if we were able to touch it. It would just end the same way as the previous two times.
“Have you tried to open the door yet?” Riviana asked me with a serious look in her eyes and her hand pressed against the door.
“We wanted to try.” I answered her honestly as I watched on in awe. She was not thrown back when she tried to touch the door. I knew we had needed her.
“What do you mean that you wanted to try?” She was confused.
“We can’t even touch the door.”
“What do you mean? How could you not touch the door? It’s right here.” She just didn’t seem to get it yet.
“What I mean is that, whenever we tried to touch the door, it threw us away from it.”
After she looked at the door for a few minutes, she broke her silence.
“This makes no sense to me.”
“This is just a thought, Riviana, but perhaps the door will allow you to touch it because you are part Fae, unlike any of the rest of us. You are the only one part Fae among us.” Vincent’s words seemed to surprise her more than I thought they would.
“Riviana? Do you think that might be the reason?” I felt my eyes go wide as I asked her that. “I mean, it makes sense to me.”
“Yeah, now that Vincent mentions it, that seems like the only logical thing.” Trevor added.
“I think it is a good thing that we have a Fae with us then.” Landon grinned.
“Are you going to try and open the door?” I asked her.
“I am.”
No sooner had she said those words did the door start to glow even more. It was clear she was putting magic into it. The rest of us were just standing there, staring at her as she did her work. And soon enough, the door just disappeared entirely.
The moment that the door was gone, it was like my Little Bunny just stepped right on through to the other side without even looking back.
“Riviana!” I screamed her name as I went to follow her. However, even with the door gone, the magic threw be back. The others were right there with me, trying to rush forward.
“Riviana?”
“Riviana?”
“Queen Riviana?”
“Queen Riviana?”
Riviana?”
“My Queen?”
All six of the others, the three inside with me and the three outside who had been watching at the door, all rushed forward and tried to follow their queen. They were all thrown back and at a loss.
“Riviana!” I called after her, trying again and again to make it through the door. It was no use, though. She was on the other side and we couldn’t make it to where she was. “RIVIANA!” I screamed her name, hoping that she could hear me.

I could still smell the blood, thick and pungent. Someone had been hurt really badly, that was the only explanation for that amount of blood. My question though, were they still alive? With how much blood was in the house and how much was here, was it even possible for them to still be alive?
The light around me finally faded. I could see the place that the door had taken me. I was in the middle of a bright clearing. It rounded and had tall grass and trees, closing it off completely. I had a feeling that I wouldn’t be able to go beyond those trees even if I wanted to.
The inside of the clearing was beautiful, I could tell that much at a glance. The grass was cut perfectly with not a blade out of place. There were bushes with beautiful flowers.. A weeping willow stood tall in the middle of the large space to provide a little bit of shade. That was something else that I noticed, none of the trees near the edge cast a shadow into the clearing. It was like the light didn’t exist anywhere but straight above.
I swept my eyes over the clearing until I spotted the trail of blood. There it was, heading to the very center. And crouched under the tree was a man on his knees next to what looked like a dead body. Well, I guess I just found Alloy and Sterling.
The man on his knees had to be Alloy. His skin was pale, practically paper white. His hair and eyes were indeed a pure silver that would catch the light and reflect it back to you. He was a good looking man, but relatively small in comparison to all the other men that I had ever met.
The man on the ground must have been Sterling. In contrast to Alloy, this man’s skin was literally silver, though it looked slightly pale and sickly right now. His hair and eyes were both pure black, he didn’t even have whites to his eyes, it was all black.
“W..w..w..who are you? And h..h..h..how did y..y..you get in here?” Alloy asked me as he took a defensive stance in front of Sterling. “You shouldn’t have been able to come through that door, it’s warded.”
