Three Hybrid Brothers Locked Me in Their Tower, and the Man Who Sent Me There Is the Real Monster novel · Chapter 14 of 24

Chapter 14: No

I dressed at first light and wrapped my mother's letters in my scarf.

I put the diary in my coat, against my ribs, and the yellow leaf in the pocket of my account book.

The iron key I left on the tide table, where I would see it from the door.

I looked at the room once.

The brass button and the green sea glass sat on the sill, with a second button beside them, and a third.

I had collected a dozen buttons since the first night.

I took them all and put them in my pocket, and I did not examine why.

Then I turned the brass key in the inside lock and walked out.

Nobody was on the stair.

Nobody was in the library.

I went down past the kitchen, where the stove was ticking.

All three of them stood in a row at the foot of the stair, like men at a funeral.

Magnus, Rook, Ansel.

None of them had slept.

"I'm going to my father's yard," I said.

Rook opened his mouth.

"I'm not asking," I said.

"I'm telling you where I'll be.

"The last man who didn't tell me where I was going was the man who sent me here, and I don't intend to be him."

"The causeway shows at low tide," Magnus said.
