Chapter 45: Breaking into My Old School

"So you're saying Gwen didn't have any powers while you two were stuck in the leyline?" Melanie pauses in painting her nails blue, looking up from my bed. "Then how did she capture your ghosts?"

"No idea." My shoulders slump.

Jezza chews on her lower lip. "Lots of magical talismans can be programmed to the work. Like take your tiger-eye amulet. It automatically transcribes the magical words into a language you can read."

"Yeah." I sit down between them both, my head is starting to pound. "But she had a whistle spell that helped me get away from the vampires."

Melanie waves a hand in dismissal. "That's nothing. Anyone could've set that up for her ahead of time just like the prism. She points it at the ghosts and voila, ghost vacuum. And the whistle would work for werewolves too-so she probably had it on her for that and then used it for the vamps."
