"Elio!" I called as I ran, desperate to leave Peter and the Many-Eyed behind us. "Magnus!"

I could see others, too. Eowyn and Ellie and Aggie. Familiar, welcome faces, although I wished I could have come for them sooner. Through speaking with Daine, I had known they were here, but it wasn't as easy to get away from Peter as just leaving. He was always watching and if I had tried to go before now, I knew I would have only invited danger and possible injury to the people who had been with me. Now there was no choice. Not with the way Peter had attacked me.

I jumped over a fallen log, turning back to help others, then made for the camp. My shouts had drawn attention, not only that of my friends, but of the pirates, too, and I could see them glancing between me and Elio. Too late I realized my mistake. They had thought Elio was me and that might have been what was keeping everyone safe.

"It's Jamie!" one of the pirates shouted. I recognized him. He wore an eyepatch and I had been the one to take his eye. "There's two of him! It's that boy's magic again!"

I didn't know what was happening, if we would be welcomed or not, but I knew I had to get to my friends.
