Chapter 44: Take her Away

Kel longed to take Maggie away from this. Away from a world where kids were kept in a warehouse like some Amazon package waiting for one day delivery. He longed to soothe the worry he knew was etched into her face. He’d never felt about anyone the way he felt about Maggie. It surprised and shocked him how quickly she’d wormed her way into his heart.

He couldn’t see her, but he could feel her emotion. Was this what Deke was talking about? That they had a connection? Was she his fairy?

She probably had no idea she was a fairy. She had no idea the power that she possessed. Maybe he didn’t truly know either. He would have to ask his family when this was all over. What didn’t they know about their heritage?

He’d known from a young age that he was a gargoyle, but so much had been lost over the years. Kel would have to talk to the Foleys and see what he’d been missing. What didn’t he know?

That was a talk for another day. Focus on the mission. He slowed his heart rate.
