Enzo looked confused, and kept blinking rapidly as though he was trying to wrap his head around it.


    “What are you talking about?” he asked. “What did I do?”


    Selena scoffed. I decided to take this opportunity while they were talking to move forward a little and


    slowly close in on them; I wasn’t sure if Enzo saw me while I quickly darted forward to the next tree


    closer to the clearing, but he didn’t say anything.


    “Selena,” he said, sounding somewhat panicked now after a long silence, “what’s going on? Who’s


    Nina?”


    My eyes widened. So he did remember me, at least a little bit; at the very least, he remembered my


    name and that I existed. He didn’t sound trusting of Selena, either. I wondered as I watched the


    puzzled look on his face from afar and the way that his eyes kept quickly shifting over to where I stood


    if he did see me, and if it was helping him to keep control of his own mind.

    “Don’t you dare say her name!” Selena snarled. “If you don’t stop thinking about her, I’ll… I’ll kill her!”


    Enzo’s eyes went wide with what looked like confusion. My own eyes went wide with fear. I didn’t know


    if I truly believed that Selena had the capacity within her to kill anyone, but she had proven time and


    time again that she would go to any lengths to keep me out of the picture.


    Selena sounded like she was crying, which caused Enzo to stare at her intensely. I decided to move


    forward again, and now I was right on the edge of the clearing. In just a few seconds, if I ran fast


    enough, I thought that I could tackle her.


    Suddenly, as I moved, Enzo’s eyes snapped up again and widened a little more. I knew he saw me


    now. I froze, expecting him to tell Selena I was here, but he didn’t; in fact, he seemed to sh with


    recognition as he saw me, and his face became serious.


    “Fuck,” Selena growled. “I’ll say it again: forget her.”


    Enzo began to blink rapidly again. His eyes took on that same foggy appearance as before. “What’s


    going on?” he asked, sounding confused. I cursed under my breath and bit my lip, slipping back behind


    the tree and out of sight. Selena’s magic was too powerful; there was no way he could get a full grasp


    on his mind when she was standing in front of him.


    “Oh, nothing,” Selena replied in a sing-song voice that made me want to retch. “I just want to go home


    now.”


    Then, as if Selena was satisfied with her work, she turned to the side and reached out with two fingers.


    She moved her fingers in a circr motion as she tried to open a portal, but nothing happened.


    I almost jumped for joy. As it turned out, Luke had in fact managed to put a hex on her; but there was


    still no knowing as to how long that hex wouldst. He only mentioned that it would work for a short


    time, which meant that there was a possibility she could open a portal any minute.


    Not only that, but my friends weren’t here yet. I quickly slipped out my phone and let out a tiny sigh of


    relief to see that they were on their way, but I still needed to buy some time.


    “What the…” Selena murmured, shaking out her hand and trying again. And yet, once again, nothing


    happened. Selena’s face turned a vibrant shade of angry red. She cursed under her breath and tried


    once more, but for a third time, the portal wouldn’t open.


    As I watched her try and try again, I still wasn’t sure what to do. Enzo seemedpletely dazed by her


    at this point, and I was worried that he would attack me at her orders if I ran out and confronted her. I


    also had no way of knowing what sort of magic or other abilities she would use on me; for all I knew,


    she could even shift and kill me in her wolf form, or maybe she had a weapon.


    But when I saw the sparks of a portal finally begin to flicker on the tips of her fingers as the hex began


    to wear off, I knew that I needed to stop her.
