Being killed at Lansing wasn’t any better or worse than being killed at Leavenworth.

But I’d forgotten how terrifying it could be.

It happened shortly after the news spread. Now everyone knew I was The Witch’s daughter who could come back from the dead. I only needed one guess as to who spilled the beans.

Before being hauled away to my sparring match, I’d confronted Lucy about it.

“You heard everything last night, didn’t you?”

Lucy sat on her bed cross-legged and brushed her fingers through her blonde hair. “You two weren’t exactly being quiet.”

I curled my hands into fists and glared at her. “And that gave you the right to tell everyone?”

She shrugged. “They deserve to know.”

“And what about my power? Did they deserve to know that too?”

She cast a withering look in my direction. “So you can come back to life… what’s the big deal?”

Her dismissal was hard to swallow. I’d never fully trusted Lucy, but I hadn’t expected this. “The big deal, Lucy, is that now I’ve got a target on my back. People talking about who can kill me and how. Strangulation, head bashing, setting me on fire, you name it, I’ve heard it. Why don’t we trade powers and you can see what getting killed feels like.”

“Someone was going to kill you eventually.”

I kicked my bed in frustration. “What don’t you understand about dying? Why? Why did you do it?”

She took a chunk of hair and neatly divided it into thirds before beginning a braid at the base of her scalp. “Thought I should warn the others.”

“Warn them?” I spat. “About what? I can’t do anything!”

“Oh, come on.” Lucy dropped the braid she was working on, and her lips curled back in a snarl. It wasn’t a good look on her. “Your mom, the evil witch who tortures us all on a weekly basis, just happens to be the warden? She came to talk to you at night when she thought the coast was clear. Only it wasn’t.”

“Did you even listen to our conversation? She left me!”

Lucy kept speaking like I hadn’t said a word. “You haven’t died yet, so obviously something’s going on.” Yeah, dumb luck. “Best-case scenario? You have an advantage because you’re under your mom’s protection. Worst case? You’re a spy leaking information for her to use against us.”

I threw my head back and groaned. “That’s not even remotely true.”

“Which part of it?”

“None of it!” I was losing my cool. Okay fine, I’d already lost it. “You know me. How could you think that?”

She scoffed. “I barely know you. My own family stabbed me in the back, so why not a cellmate I only just met?”

I wasn’t going to feel sorry for her. Maybe I would have before, but not now. Lucy had singlehandedly destroyed my life.

A guard had shown up before I could think of some way to make her understand. It would have been a waste of breath anyway, and God only knew how many I had left.

Tossed into the same sterile room as before, I was forced to face off against a guy who could solidify water with a single touch.
