Caleb and I exchanged a reassuring smile and gently touched their heads. “Don’t worry, both of us are fine. We’ll be out of here soon.”

A feeling of loss washed over me.
Observing my emotional state, Debra encouraged the children towards me. “Elena, Dylan, It’s okay. Grandpa was under a bad spell, which is why he was mean before. Mommy has fixed it, and he won’t hurt you now.”
