  92. By Amanda Hocking

“I know,” I said. “I’m just . . . missing a whole month of my life.”

“What’s the last thing you remember?” Finn asked carefully.

A series of hazy images ran through my mind—the city hall in Isarna with a jeweled fox skeleton on display, kissing Pan in the hotel room, and Noomi watching me as an all-girls’ choir sang a haunting hymn in a language I didn’t completely understand.

“The last thing I remember clearly is arriving in Isarna.” I shook my head. “Then it’s all a blur.”

“When we get back to Förening, I’ll get in touch with the healers I know,” Finn said, keeping his voice hard, to hide the worry underneath. “I already let them know that you might need them today. I wasn’t sure what condition you’d be in. There might be a way that they could bring your memories back.”

I unbuckled my seat belt so I could reach into the back seat and open my bag. It was too big to haul into the front, not without impacting Finn’s ability to drive, so I started rummaging through it.

“Ulla, you can’t hang over the seat like that,” he told me firmly. “It’s not safe.”

So naturally, I clambered back, practically falling on my head and kicking the ceiling before I managed to safely right myself.

“That’s not what I meant,” he muttered, then louder, “Put your seat belt on.”

I did, then immediately returned to my search of the bag. It was mostly full of my dirty clothes, and they were actually mine, unlike the ill-fitting outfit I’d woken up in on the plane. Why had I been in that when I had plenty of my own stuff?

And then I felt it. The thin, cold rectangle of my cell phone. I made an excited squawk. It was dead but my charger was tangled in a bralette. Once I got it separated, Finn plugged my phone into the dash to charge.

While I waited for that, I went back to rummaging through my things. At the very bottom of the bag, I found a book. Jem-Kruk and the Adlrivellir. I flipped through it, but the book fell open to the last page.

And there, in my own handwriting, I’d scrawled important messages to myself.

Senka is your mother, Indu is your father

Don’t Trust Noomi or Illaria

They’re Your Sisters but they LIE

Áibmoráigi is on the northwest mountain beyond Lake Sodalen

The Lady in the Long White Dress is a waterfall

Find the waterfall, find Eliana

Jem-Kruk might be a liar

You and Pan kissed (and you both liked it)

Johan (Hanna’s grandfather) knows the truth about Senka & Jem-Kruk

And then below all that, in big angry letters:

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BLOOD!
