“Wow,” I
say, bouncing to my feet. “What a rush!”
I try to step out over the pentagram but it resists me. It pushes me back in.
“Theo,” I chide him, laughing with the joy of being whole again. “I’m perfectly fine.”
AngelBeastie meows loudly. Mozz is leaning against the invisible wall of the pentagram, trying to get in. Theo seems to take this as a sign things are okay. He erases two of the chalk sigils with his finger, and Mozz falls in.
I scoop her up as I dance out of the pentagram, my feet smudging the circles of sigils carelessly. I laugh and swing Mozz aside. I throw my arms wide and spin in a circle, drumming my feet on the flagstones below. The world feels so goddamn good.
“Diana, are you alright?” Theo says, disconcerted by my reaction.
I seize him by the head and I drag his face down towards me. I kiss both of his cheeks with a resounding smack. “Thank you, Teddy bear,” I purr. “You’ve set me free.”
