CRESS

“Girl, I don’t know,” Roe said from my cell as I stood over Geo’s unconscious form the next morning. She was the first person I called when it was a reasonable hour. I figured if anyone knew how to tend to a gargoyle, it’d be a guardian witch.

“He’s, like, alive?” she asked.

“He’s breathing,” I reported.

That wasn’t the part that concerned me. He had several gashes over his bare chest, and each sparkled with a coating of silver liquid. It was pretty but eerie, like nothing a normal guy would have. At least he wasn’t a bloody mess. Other than the pink spittle I’d cleaned from the corner of his mouth, there was no blood at all unless that’s what the silver stuff was.

“Do you have any idea how I could help him?” I asked with an edge of desperation. I didn’t want my gargoyle guardian to die, especially not while he lay out on Lanie’s old bed.

There was a pause on her end. “I could ask one of my professors. If you wanted.”

“Uh, n-no. That won’t be necessary.” I didn’t want any authority figures at the school poking around and asking questions. Though Geo hadn’t said who he’d fought, I didn’t know anything capable of gouging furrows in solid rock other than my boogeyman, Phaeron. He’d had claws.

They weren’t as wide as the furrows in Geo right now, but he’d still had claws.

Roe wished me good luck, and I ended the call by telling her I wouldn’t be in class. Over the last two weeks, I’d worked extra hard to catch up, so it was with a bit of reluctance that I decided to stay here and make sure I was on hand to help Geo when he woke.

Still, it gave me an excuse to lie back down and rest my aching muscles. Dr. Voidbinder had me doing basic drills with a wooden version of a librarian sword Monday through Friday, saying I couldn’t learn any more serious skills until I knew my weapon like it was an extension of my hand. It was clear I was out of shape, too, so I’d started going to the gym more with Roe.

I was making “great strides,” though. Soon Dr. Voidbinder was going to teach me how to conduct magic down a real sword and trace witch runes with the tip. The moment I learned how to do that, I’d be officially two years ahead, with the shakiest foundational knowledge a gal could have. We hadn’t even gotten to the most basic runes yet in Introduction to Witchcraft.

Ben hadn’t returned to class in all this time and was likely to fail his classes soon for poor attendance. He still texted, though. I’d burned down the battery on my phone late into the night rereading his messages and reliving how they made me feel until I went to sleep with my cheeks hurting from smiling so much. I yearned to see him more and more with each day that passed.

I got by in the meantime with the support of the solid women in my life.
