Chapter 20
“Well, hello, Jayne. Fancy meeting you here.” The bitchy half-smile she gave me was a straight up flashback from Miami.
“Hello, Samantha. Looks like you found a place where you fit right in.”
She scowled in response. I noticed she was wearing a black robe over a white tunic and black pants. I was afraid to think that this uniform meant the same thing it meant in my Light Fae world. If she were one of us, I’d say she’s a witch.
Ben smiled at me. “Hello, Jayne. I see you’ve managed to convince Tony to make the change. Good for you. I’m sure he’s making all of you very proud.”
“Blow it out your ass, Ben. I’m not interested in your bullshit. You’d better get lost before I call a platoon of green elves in to waste you and Ms. Congeniality here.” I gestured with my chin to Her Royal Bitchiness. Samantha and I had met before when we were both runaways hanging out with Jared and his crew in Miami. I had only known her for about two days, but it was enough to see that she had a bad attitude and a massive chip on her shoulder. All of us in Miami thought for sure she’d be invited to take the changeling test with us, but after the interview, she had been rejected – the only one of us. At the time, Jared had been really upset and so had she. I guess she’d found a back-up plan ... or it had found her.
“No, you won’t do that. Because if you do, your friends here will get hurt.” He nodded towards Scrum and Tony on the ground.
“Seems like you’ve already managed to do that, so I guess I’ve got nothing to lose.” I tapped into The Green, angry with myself that I hadn’t powered up as soon as I’d heard the noise that was them coming. I could have been better prepared than I was, and with Tony lying there helpless like that, it was totally stupid to not have had the power on standby. What had I been thinking?
“No, they’re fine. Just in suspension for a few minutes while we take care of business.”
I rubbed my hand slowly over the spot where Tim rested in my shirt. One of his feet was jabbing my boob and I needed to move it, but I didn’t want them to know he was there.
“What business?”
“The business of taking you with us.”
I barked out a laugh. “Ha! As if that’s gonna happen. Listen, I appreciate the drama guys, but I’m not going anywhere with you a-holes.”
Ben shrugged, still smiling. “It’s either you or them. You choose.”
“Hmmm,” I said sarcastically, putting my finger to my lips. “I chooooose ... none of the above.” And with that, I threw up a Green energy bubble between them and us, enclosing my friends inside, praying Tony would still be able to get out of the Gray. “Now get the fuck outta here before someone gets hurt. And by someone, I mean you.
