Close Call.

Edira's Pov

"There must be something we are missing here," I mused and glanced out over the ocean. I could see Baldo nodded and sighed in the corner of my eye. Marise had been gone for weeks now, and my hope sunk a little bit every day. I felt like the biggest failure. How could this happen? We were so careful.

I finally thought everything was going to be okay. "It's not your fault, you know. Stop blaming yourself." Baldo mumble and I felt his hand on my arm. "I know that in my heart, but my mind tells me otherwise... I was so close to get to her... But I just let her slip away. I don't understand how he got her. Marise would never run to him willingly." Baldos eyes narrowed and then he stood up quickly, "There is one spell that can let you take over other beings will and power, but only a very strong and powerful witch would be able to do that. And it would require the use and knowledge of black magic." Baldo clenched his jaw and I felt my heart drop.
