Cara made it outside safely, gulping in fresh air as her head immediately cleared. Turning to help Drake, she reached toward the hole. An awful shriek filled the air, forcing Cara to clap her hands over her ears. The hole filled in neatly, blocking Drake’s way out.
Cara sank to her knees, tears streaming from her eyes as she clawed the ground trying to find a way back in. He had saved her, and now he was trapped. The music had stopped, the lights were gone. The world was supernaturally quiet. Cara knew the old stories. She would never get into the land of the fae the same way twice. She had spent one night with the fae. Now the faery who had saved her life was lost to her forever.
