me. Pure shock that they could possibly be this cruel.

My ex shrugged. โ€œI own everything in this house anyway.โ€

The fuck he did.

Anger like nothing Iโ€™d ever felt in my life coursed through me. Breathing hard, I tried to calm myself, but it was as if white hot fire filled my lungs and the air warmed around me like the moment before a volcanic explosion. I even imagined the ground starting to shake. It had to be in my head, but it was all I could do to keep from clawing at this bitch with my good hand. I couldnโ€™t attack her, though, because if she fought back Iโ€™d pass out from the pain in my arm.

Lifting my good hand I pointed at them both. โ€œKarmaโ€™s going to get you!โ€ And I knew I sounded a little crazy, but then the toad on the ground croaked again, and I said the first thing that came to mind. โ€œYouโ€”youโ€™re both freaking toads!โ€

From one blink of the eye to the next, they were gone.

I stood, confused, when I heard a croak and slowly lowered my eyes. There, where they were standing, were two toads, and their clothes beneath them in piles. And one of the toads had my motherโ€™s necklace lying over it.

Slowly, I knelt down and picked up the locket.

The toads gave me sad croaks as I blinked back down at them, and my legs shook as I slowly stood back up. Did I just turn them into toads? That was not possible. This was like the old lady and the car. I was having some kind of breakdown. I was losing my mind.

I needed to get out of here. I raced inside and ignored the messy living room. Going to my room, I used one hand to pick out a shirt, pants, and a bra, and I dressed one-handed, finally giving in to the pain and screaming when I had to get my arm into the shirt. Then, fully dressed, I grabbed my keys and headed out the front door.

There, parked in my driveway, was my exโ€™s car.

My heart raced. I moved through the backyard like I was in a nightmare. The toads werenโ€™t on the piles of clothes anymore, but I knelt down and found my exโ€™s wallet and keys in the pants.

If this was some sort of breakdown, it was a good one.

And if I really just turned them into toads, I needed to hide the evidence. Iโ€™d seen way too many detective shows. If they turned up missing, I was the first person anyone would look into. And if the police found their clothes and car here, I was in trouble.

I didnโ€™t know what I was doing when I grabbed their stuff with my good hand and ran back out front, but I threw their clothes into the passenger seat and put the keys in the ignition. The back seats were full of my exโ€™s stuff, and I saw my jewelry box on the floor.

Gritting my teeth, I put the car in reverse and pulled out of my driveway. I was going to toss the clothes in a random dumpster, then leave the car at his new apartment complex. When I was done, Iโ€™d take a cab to the hospital near me and get my shoulder fixed.

Oh, and I was going to take back my jewelry box.

After that, I had no idea. But I had to figure out what the heck was going on.

And get out of town until I got a grip. Fortunately for me, I knew just where I was going to go.

Home.

3 Emma

Mystic Hollow was the perfect little town, and as I drove down the coast, windows rolled down, I felt another wave of anger at my ex. I shouldโ€™ve never left this town. The salty water, the white beaches, even the woods, they were all a part of me. I had all of my best memories in this place.

Itโ€™d never stopped feeling like home.

But he hadnโ€™t wanted to move here. So, we didnโ€™t. I resented him for that, but I resented myself even more. Because with each day that had passed since the Day of Strangeness, Iโ€™d started to realize how many times Iโ€™d given into Rick.

Iโ€™d given in and given in until I was living a life I wasnโ€™t happy in. And that was just as much on me as it was on him.

I shifted my shoulder in the brace, and took the next one-handed curve in the road slowly. The urgent care doctors had said Iโ€™d probably bruised my bones, but theyโ€™d fixed the dislocated shoulder, so it wasnโ€™t nearly as painful as before. Not that youโ€™d know it from the gnarly bruise that had spread over my painfully white skin. Still, I was hurting as I came to this last stretch of the drive. A couple days in a car was already hard on my bum, back, and neck. The shoulder just added a whole other fun element to being crammed into a car all night.

Slowing down even more, I reached the road with all of the beautiful beach houses spread out, facing the ocean. If I stayed on this path, Iโ€™d come to the town of Mystic Hollow, and if I kept going, Iโ€™d find woods in every direction. This place was isolated.

Which was exactly what I needed.

I turned another curve and saw the spot where the road broke off. One way led to the quiet street with beach houses, and the other went into town. I took the quiet road, watching the ocean waves between the houses and tilting my face up to feel the sunlight on it. My gaze pulled from the ocean, and I looked ahead, waiting to catch sight of our house. But when it came into view, I was a little surprised. It was in rougher shape than I remembered.

Pulling into the driveway, I killed the engine and climbed out. Outside, the scent of the ocean was even stronger, and
