It echoed louder than necessary, as if it couldn’t pass up the chance to scold me. Not daring to look down at the branch beneath my foot, I threw caution to the damn wind and made a run for it.
Three heads whipped around as I barreled through the forest line like a wolf in a china shop.
“Lola-” Zeke shouted; his hands clutched to his abdomen where the white t-shirt he wore was soaked through with blood.
Rowena, whose hair long hair was tangled from the wind, had wide eyes brimming with unshed tears. They sparkled with relief, which only acted as gasoline to the fire raging in my chest. 2
“Get away from them.” I snarled; eyes locked on Tessa. 1
The witch held her hands out, palms facing the ground, but I had yet to feel any magic oozing off her skin. I itched to lash out, to stop her heart and take her life in exchange for Sean’s, but I wanted to make it count. If she was the one that killed Sean-or if it were that sister of hers, their death would be slow, agonizingly slow.
Rowena stumbled back from Tessa, who whipped around with wild eyes.
“Do it, Lola. Hurry before she attacks.”
Rowena stammered in a voice full of fear.
She glanced my way. “I came to the cells with the supplies to break into her mind, but she’d already gotten out. The witch that helped her, she got away. She could be anywhere by now!”
“You have no idea what’s going on, Lola.”
Tessa warned, her voice growing increasingly strained.
The very sound of it made the blood rush to my head, roaring in my ears. Part of me wanted her to make the first move so I could pluck the seeds of her magic out of thin air and crush them to dust. She had to know how far along I was, how much better I’d gotten at conjuring. I’d use every drop of energy to snuff her out.
It was the least Sean deserved.
“Lola, listen to me-” Zeke’s face was uncomfortably pale, his voice tight with pain.
His words were cut short by Rowena crying out a second time.
“Lola, stop her! Can’t you feel her working her magic?” She stammered.
If it wasn’t for Zeke, I had no doubt that I would’ve blindly lashed out and snapped Tessa’s spine in two. There was something off about him, and I wasn’t talking about the blade lodged in his back, so long that the tip of it protruded from his stomach. He was standing closer to Tessa, hovering in a way that felt almost…protective?
I knew Zeke. Sure, he was loyal without fault, but not to those who didn’t deserve it.
If he thought Tessa deserved it, then there was definitely more to the story.
In fact, his eyes kept shifting over to Rowena, narrowed in a way that made my stomach tingle with unease.
