Chapter Thirteen

I needed some air. All of this was too much. I pounded down the long flight of stairs, desperate for the outside. Desperate for anything that wasn’t magic or missing bracelets or elves or even tingles from a gorgeous man. My senses and my brain were overloaded. It was laughable considering my brain was empty of a short lifetime’s worth of memories, but there we were.

Shoving open the door that led to the outside, I was met with a warm breeze that took my breath away. In the distance, there was a stone bench under a tree and it seemed like the perfect place for a woman who had no clue where her life was going to sit and think about shit.

That’s all I needed to do, I told myself as I walked toward it, enjoying the sun beating down on my face. Trees and sunshine and benches. Those were all very normal, very human things and there was nothing I craved more in that moment.

I sat on the bench and rested my face on my palms with my elbows on my knees. “Why did he even bring me here?”

Movement beside me caught my attention and I gasped as my eyes fluttered open. It was him. The one from the desert, right beside me.

“Because you asked, Mia.”

I checked my bracelet, or tried to, in order to confirm my name but there was no bracelet anymore. My one security blanket...gone.

“But I’m just a human, I think. There are elves here and mages and gnomes. I don’t even know what I am. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? I should’ve just asked for water and a ride.”

He tipped his hook nose in the air. “I don’t make mistakes. If you are attending a magic academy then you must have some kind of magic in you.”

“Ha!” I pointed to him. “And that’s where you’re wrong. See these hands? They’re just hands. Not a damned magic thing about them.”

“I’ve already said...I’m not wrong.”

This man’s quips were about as interesting as his grey, nondescript robes.

“I tried to make an alarm clock without a wire work in class.”

Why I chose to give him that information was beyond me. Maybe I was just venting. Maybe if I whined enough he would swish his staff around and give me another life, one where I was actually useful.

“And you failed.”

I scoffed. “How did you know?”

He took off his hat and dusted the top off after rolling his eyes. His wrinkles gave away some of his age but there was a twinkle in his eyes that told me his soul was far from at the dusk of this life. “Because, you stupid girl, if you had made it work, we would not be having this conversation about you not being magic and woe is me and I’m pathetic.”

His mimicry of my voice was impeccable.

“I never said I was pathetic.”

“You did...didn’t use that word, but you certainly said you were pathetic.”

I kicked at his boots but he moved just in time.
