Chapter 15

Ellie and I finished our lunches, then made our way back to the stadium to bring Sara her sandwich before it was time for the competition to begin.

As we made our way down the hall, we ran into a tall, somewhat lanky-looking guy with brown hair who looked to be in his early twenties.

“Out of the way, athlete coming through,” he said to us, striding through the hallway like he was some kind of god. He held his shoulders out, like he was trying to make himself seem as big and as important as possible, and it most definitely was not working. I giggled as I stepped aside as he walked past, and he glared at me, which meant he didn’t see that Ellie made absolutely no effort to get out of his way. In fact, I was pretty sure that she made a conscious effort to contract her muscles in her shoulder so when he went by, they collided, and the man fell to the floor with a yelp.

It certainly wasn’t the macho alpha male type of reaction he was obviously going for.

“What on earth is wrong with you?” he howled at Ellie. “Didn’t you see that I was coming? You should have gotten out of my way. I’m one of the athletes here. I’m much more important than someone like you.”

“You must be Jason, the alternate who only got picked because somebody else was killed,” Ellie said, standing over him with her hands on her hips. “I don’t recognize you from the official announcement where all of the real competitors got to go on TV and introduce themselves.” Ellie didn’t take it well when people acted like they were completely full of themselves.

“And I’m more skilled with this than you could ever hope to be,” Ellie said, pulling out her wand. “So instead of trying to lord over me how important you are, I recommend you get out of here as fast as you can before I turn you into something even Eli won’t be able to rescue you from.”

A smile crept up my face as Jason’s face went pale at Ellie’s threat. “You can’t do this! This isn’t over, witch!” He stumbled down the hall, and as soon as he was out of sight, Ellie and I both burst out laughing.

“Wow, Derek is not wrong about him being spoiled,” I laughed. “I can’t believe he thought we should move out of the way just because we’re not athletes like he is.”

“I know, right? He looks young. Reality is going to be a punch in the face for that kid one day.”

“I hope Sara destroys him in the competition tonight.”

“Me too.”

We got to the door of her dressing room and knocked, and a moment later Sara slipped the
