good to run from an accident.”

    They stopped at a diner not far from the highway. Kalissa and Ayden chose a booth tucked in the back corner so they had less chance of being overheard. Her mouth watered at the wonderful smells drifting in the air, even though she’d eaten breakfast just a few hours ago. 
    Around eleven in the morning and not quite lunchtime, the diner was near empty. The experience of owning a café told Kalissa that the few customers that were scattered around the small restaurant were regulars.
    An elderly gentleman a few tables away flirted with the waitress like they were old friends. A smile tugged at Kalissa’s lips, and a pang of homesickness crept in.  
    With a sigh, Kalissa pulled out her phone and dialed Khloe. She so hoped that her techno-geek sister would be able to help them. 
    Khloe answered on the second ring. “Hey!”
    “Hi,” Kalissa said with a smile. Her sister was her life, especially since their parents had died. Hearing her chipper voice was like a soothing melody. She filled her sister in on the messages. “Do you know what the Wheel could be?”
    “Not right off.” Kalissa could hear the clicking of the keyboard; Khloe had already started searching the internet. 
    After a few seconds, Khloe said, “Found it. The Wheel is a family-run diner on Highway 60, right outside Dahlonega. I emailed you the address. Hey, that’s an hour away from the cabin.” 
    “It sure is.” Kalissa quickly explained what Ayden had said about their mother being in charge of hiding the Sinew. “Do you think Mom hid it somewhere around there?”
    “I wouldn’t put it past her,” Khloe answered.
    “There are two more messages written in Latin.”
    “Not a problem. Unlike you, I paid attention in class,” Khloe teased.
    “Good. I’ll call you when we get to the cabin and fax them to you,” Kalissa said, ignoring her sister’s teasing.
    “Hey, um…” 
    Kalissa smiled. She knew her sister all too well. “I’ll call when we get there, and then you can teleport over.” It used a lot of magical energy to teleport. And, other magical beings, demons included, could trace their magical signature. That was why Kalissa had driven to Charlotte. No need to take unnecessary risks. She also assumed that was why Ayden had driven, as well. It was safer that way. They could still be followed, but teleporting made it easier for the demons to know where they were going and possibly be there, waiting for them. They had suspected the demons were involved in their parents’ deaths. Now, Kalissa knew, without a doubt, they were the cause.
    “You sure that’s safe? I could drive up now and meet you there.” Khloe had a mix of worry and excitement in her voice.
    “It’ll be all right. I’ll call you from the cabin,” Kalissa said. What she didn’t tell her sister was that she had a feeling they were being followed already. There was no way she wanted her sister to drive up by herself. “I’ll talk to you soon. Love ya.”
    “Love you, too. Be safe,” Khloe said and hung up.
    Kalissa opened her email from her smartphone and wrote the address down on the back of Ayden’s riddle. She looked across the table at his smiling face. “What?”
    He shook his head. “I was just wondering if Lo is still as spoiled as she was when we were kids.”
    Kalissa laughed. “Oh, yeah. She’s gotten worse with age.”
    “Of course, she has. She is the baby,” Ayden teased.
    “Only by five minutes.” Kalissa rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t change anything about her sister. She loved her just the way she was. “Everyone spoils her.”
    “That’s because everyone loves her.”
    Kalissa looked into Ayden’s baby blue eyes that seemed to dance when he smiled. He was right. All the Divinities were treated special, but Khloe ate up every ounce of affection that was shown to her.
    Kalissa hated to be the center of attention, and absolutely refused to be treated any differently than the rest of magickin .
