Chapter Twenty-Two
A little was all we needed. The next morning, I met Maria and Mikey at breakfast and nodded as I sat down with my tray of scrambled eggs and pancakes. All through the dining hall, people muttered nervously and picked at their food. Prometheus paced around the front of the room, and his gaze landed on me for an uncomfortable two seconds before he moved on. Even through his spectacles, I detected his nerves. Until now, he'd been staying mostly out of sight, probably working on his golems, and now he was back to see the results of his work.
To see me mature.
And when I didn't, I had the matter of getting off campus again.
Serena stormed into the dining hall and through the attached lunch line, looking more furious than I'd ever seen her. Ronin had pulled a jerk move on her, then. Serena, as she walked over to sit with Wendy and Percival, sent me a death glare. You set me up, she meant.
"Giselle, you just exchanged one nemesis for another," Mikey hissed. "I heard about what Ronin did. Now, what were you nodding about?"
I waited for Prometheus to leave the room. "We've got it. A whole summer's supply. We're all going to fail Combat Training spectacularly today."
"Excellent," Mikey said in a fake evil voice. "Oh, and I have to tell you something. We've got a plan, according to Ronin."
"Mikey!" Maria said, slapping her hand to her mouth.
"What?" I gasped. "A plan?"
"It's a surprise," Maria said. Her look warned Mikey to say no more.
Carmen hadn't given me any hints about a plan, though she'd sent me messages saying she was looking forward to seeing me this summer. "Okay. Fine. But Prometheus. We haven't even fed him the water yet--"
"We'll just have to work on that next year," Maria said. "Third years work around the immortals more than second years do. I've been looking for him to leave some nectar out, but he's careful. Like he expects someone to pull a fast one on him."
I pulled out a small vial of crushed asphodel petals. Wendy had given me a dozen, easily enough for all three of us. Yeah, it looked super illegal, at least in the normal world, and my friends' eyes widened at the sight. But I uncorked it, sprinkled a tiny bit on their scrambled eggs as well as mine, and then took a huge bite. "We've got to take this risk."
I swallowed, and instantly a cold feeling spread through my limbs, bringing weakness. I hadn't realized the low groan of the void had been present in the back of my mind, waiting to strike, until it silenced. Gasping for breath, I gripped the table as my palms sweat, hitting my tray by accident which in turn hit my carton of orange juice. It spilled. "I...I think it works," I said as I watched the juice spread across the table.
Mikey swept it up with a napkin. "You just reverted back to a Level Fifty Klutz, so maybe. Let me try.
