Chapter 16

Christopher was steaming. He had barely made it through the qualifying round to compete.

Stupid Becca.

That little cow had always been jealous of his success. That was the only possible explanation.

Why couldn't she just be happy for him?

Sasha was pretending she didn't know him today. Tanya had thrown him a sympathetic glance as she came off the ice, but when he started to approach her she had turned her back quickly.

Although he was angry, he didn't want to call Mom. First of all, she would go crazy with worry and secondly, he didn't want her joining him at the village.

If only he could find Becca so that he could get out from under the creeping worry that something was wrong.

He decided to grab a bucket of ice for his knee. Maybe if he sat in one of the lounges he would see her or hear something.

As he rounded the corner to the big ice machines he heard a familiar sound and froze in his tracks.

Becca's laughter.

He poked his head around the corner to see her surrounded by a bunch of knuckle dragging snowboarders. One of them had his arm around her shoulder and his hand tucked in the back pocket of her jeans.

Christopher was filled with white rage.

"Rebecca McCall!" he shouted.

She spun around instantly with a look of fear.

That was better.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he demanded, grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her away.

He was surprised to feel her resist him.

Then the biggest knuckle dragger of all, the one who'd had his hand in his sister's back pocket, swaggered up.

"Take. Your. Hands. Off. Her."

"It's okay, Samir, he's my brother!" Becca said quickly.

No. Not Samir Andrews.

He took a closer look and could almost feel smoke pouring out of his ears.

Christopher had been seeing red and he'd seen right past the thing that should have made him angriest.

"I don't care who you are, you cowardly son-of-a-bitch, you will take your hands off her," Samir said.

He was massive and he looked super angry.

Christopher gave Becca's wrist a brutal squeeze, then let go.

"Where were you?" he asked his sister through clenched teeth.

"You kicked me out."

"You didn't come to my qualifier."

She had the decency to look guilty for a moment. But she didn't answer.

Instead Samir stepped up.

"You kicked her out, man – in a city full of strangers. You owe her an apology. And she does not owe you an explanation."

Christopher looked around.

Suddenly it seemed like every athlete in the village had come out of their rooms. They were all staring silently at him.

It wasn't fair.

"You walked out on me. And now you're with him. You're a witch, Becca. And you will get yours."

He turned on his heel and walked away.

Their chattering started before he had taken his second step.
