CHAPTER 81 The Fire

  Macy POV

  "Macy," Mom calls out into the darkness. "Macy, I can't find you."

  I can hear her voice, but I don't know where she is. It feels like millions of trees are standing in my way. They are so close together that I can't squeeze through to find her. I sprint up and down the tree line, looking for a way in.

  Finally, I stop running and press my face between two tree trunks. ''Mom. I can't find a way in."

  Her sobs are loud. It is like she is just out of reach. I try to squeeze my shoulders through the trees, but my wings won't allow it. They are flapping wildly behind me. It is like they have a mind of their own.

  "Mom," I shout. "I am going to find another way in. Stay right there."

  "No," she calls back. "You have to go."

  "Don't be silly," I cry. "I'm not leaving without you."
