CHAPTER 14

I scrambled to my feet. I grabbed the kanobō I had dropped when I’d tackled Daniel. I brandished it at the statue like it was a sword.

“Grab the cloak and stay behind me,” I snapped at Daniel. I eyed the approaching red clay statue. “I’ll take care of this thing.” Since Daniel was the immortal one, I probably should have been the one to stay behind him. You could take the girl out of the bodyguarding gig, but not the bodyguarding gig out of the girl.

I swung the kanobō at the statue, expecting the statue to shatter like the case around the Cloak of Wisdom had.

Moving faster than I expected, the statue lifted its hand and grabbed the end of the kanobō racing toward it. The statue pulled. I was yanked off my feet. The statue was much stronger than I, and I was no weakling.

I had been the swinger, now I was the swung. The room became a blur as the statue pulled its arm holding the kanobō back, then flicked it forward, like someone casting with a rod and reel.

I’m not sure if the statue let go of the kanobō, or if I did. Maybe the kanobō let go of me, figuring I wasn’t safe to be around. Regardless, I went flying.

I slammed into the tapestry-covered wall with a bone-rattling thump. It felt like a few of my internal organs got rearranged.

I fell to the floor, ripping the tapestry down with me. It fell on top of me like a giant rough blanket. The opaque artwork blinded me. I pawed feverishly at the tapestry, trying to get it off me before the statue came over and stomped me like a bug trapped under a rug.

No good. It was like one of those Chinese finger puzzles—the more I struggled, the more entangled I became.

New plan. Hoping this wasn’t a one-of-a kind irreplaceable work of art, I grabbed two handfuls of the tapestry. I yanked hard. With a rending sound, the tapestry ripped apart, freeing me.

I stood, blinking bits of fabric out of my eyes. Daniel came hurtling through the air toward me, with something red fluttering behind him like a streamer. I halfway caught him, halfway served as a human airbag. Daniel’s collision with me slammed my back into the wall again. We both went sprawling.

Daniel had the Ark fragment in one hand, and the Cloak of Wisdom clutched in the other. The fact the Ark fragment had not protected Daniel from the statue’s attack the way it had protected him from me in my apartment did not bode well.

Pushing Daniel out of the way, I scrambled to my feet again. I summoned a ball of spellfire. I flung it at the approaching statue.

Bullseye. The fireball hit the statue square in the chest. The statue’s whole body caught fire with a whoosh, like a lit match had been put to a pile of charcoal drenched in lighter fluid.

The fire stopped the statue’s advance. But before I could dislocate
