Chapter Nine

MY PHONE DINGED IN my pocket, waking me from my doze. It was Brooks. "Hello?" I wiped the sleep from my eyes as I answered. I'd gone back to my dorm for my free period and fallen asleep on the bed. I'd been hoping to find the book unattended, but no such luck.

"Hey," Brooks’ smooth voice tickled my eardrums. "Where are you?"

"Uh, napping. Am I supposed to be somewhere?" I rolled off the bed and finger-combed my hair.

"You're about to miss the Greenies auditions," he hissed into his phone. "If you don't get here in the next few minutes I don't think they'll let you try out."

"Oh, no! I didn't know that was today! Where are the auditions?"

"Halfway up the path in the woods where we went to the fairy circle." His voice was so hushed I almost didn't hear him as I hurried to yank my sneakers on.

"Be right there." I turned off my phone and shoved it in my pocket as I dashed for the door.

The thing about being a vampire-witch hybrid was that I could move fast. I mean, fast. I never did because I tried to pass myself off as a witch most of the time. Witches couldn't go as fast as vampires, and even most vampires couldn't go as fast as hybrids.

I jogged down the stone stairs at the back of the dorm area of the castle. I had to make a choice. If I wanted to make the tryouts, I'd have to run hybrid-fast. Otherwise, I'd never get that far in minutes. It was at least a mile from the base of the path to the fairy circle, and the path was a good half-mile from my dorm. At best, I'd be looking at five minutes of running at top witch-speed without dipping into my vampire side.

I decided to split the difference. I'd go as fast as I thought any other witch could manage until I hit the woods. Then I'd hit it hard.

It took me a good three minutes to get out of the castle and to the path. As soon as the trees closed around me, I took off, letting my muscles show their stuff, launching me forward like a bullet.

I heard the greenies before I saw them and slowed my pace. The half-mile or so from the base of the path to the audition spot had taken me roughly fifteen seconds. I skidded to a halt beside Brooks in a large clearing off the main path and faked panting. "I ran," I whispered. I didn't need to breathe hard, but a witch who ran from the dorms would have to. If I was lucky, nobody else knew I was that far away when he called and figured out how fast I'd gotten there. I didn't recognize any of them, anyway, and none of them paid me any attention. I was off the hook.

"Okay," Miss Green called. "It's time to begin. The audition is quite simple. You come here." She pointed to the trees in front of her.
