The next morning, there was no sign of Meridian. Tallulah knew better than to get the authorities involved and felt that it was for the best to see if the guides could locate her. She went downstairs to find Esmra talking with some of the coven members about the new plan.
“Has Meridian made it back?” Tallulah frantically asked.
“I know what happened, Luna told me. I am sure you are worried but stay calm. They will find her. Meridian will be okay. We need to get ready for tonight as though she will be there for us to perform the ritual,” Esmra said to Tallulah in hopes that her words were a calming factor during the madness.
