Chapter Nine

I grabbed a vase of flowers sitting on the counter and threw it. It shattered against the floor spraying glass and water on the wall. What did Dad think he was doing? Why would he ever think I would betray my friend? My breath was coming in short gasps. Who in the supernatural community decided the best thing to do was lock everyone they didn’t like away? How was that fair? How was that justice? I screamed in anger and kicked one of the shards of the destroyed vase. I watched as it slid across the floor until it collided with someone’s boot. Drew standing in the doorway to the den. He leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. The rest of my anger dissolved into embarrassment.

“I didn’t realize anyone was here.”

“I can tell. Feel better?”

“Not really,” I admitted. I waved my hand at the shattered vase and recited the spell for repairing things. The vase picked itself up off the floor and put itself together again. The flowers and water swept up like a mini tornado until they were back in order in the vase. I picked it up off the floor and set it back on the counter where I’d found it.

“Witch magic is so handy. I’m always so jealous when I see you all use it. Oh, your hand is bleeding.” He was right. My race across the grounds had split the wound back open again. The dark liquid stained the bandage my dad had put on. “Come sit down and let me bandage it for you.”

I nodded and followed him, too exhausted to protest. Using magic after the whirlwind of a morning had taken the last of my energy. I followed Drew and sat down on the couch. He pulled up an ottoman and sat down in front of me.

“So, what has you so testy this morning, little dragon?” Tingles ran up and down my hand as he touched it and started unwrapping the bandage.

“My dad. He’s being a butt.” Drew chuckled. His hands were gentle as he cleaned my wound.

“Your dad was here on campus?” Crap. I’d forgotten I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone about our lessons. Oh well, Drew was a fellow immortal. Besides, I was tired of all these secrets.

“He comes once a week to give me lessons.”

“That’s understandable, since he’s the only other dragon animage. How old is he anyway? Like 800—1000 years old?”

“No—wha—”

“Quit twitching, you’re going to make your hand bleed again.” He wrapped a clean bandage around my hand. “Sophie, come on. I’m an immortal, too. Plus, I’m a gryphon. I can smell lies. The story about there being so many dragons is just a story, right? No other animage magic passes from generation to generation like that. He’s been the only dragon all these years.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” What was the point in lying if he would know?

“From what I know about dragons, and from what I’ve seen from you, it can’t be easy when you both have hot tempers.
