“You broke her fucking handle,” Rae said with a sigh. Her mask slipped just enough for us to see how annoyed she was. There was a small scowl that graced her lips and her forehead was wrinkled, no doubt a leftover from the conversation with her father.

“Your face will stick like that if you’re not careful,” Eli responded and then proceeded to show us how she had entered last time.

“Both of you are going to send me into an early grave,” Rae grumbled in response.

As soon as the door was wide enough a flash of white streaked by us and crashed into Eli’s face, then fell to the floor with a thud. Despite the current cloud of dark emotions that hung around me, laughter bubbled up inside me. Eli’s mouth was hanging open and she seemed to be momentarily stunned as she processed what just happened. Rae was also noticeably pleased at the turn of events. A smile played at the corner of her lips.

I heard Amr hiss from inside.

“I just want the cat,” Eli called and then peeked her head in through the open doorway. “Dax’s cat but I would like a taste of the other one while I am here as well.” Her voice sounded like she was smiling.

My magic purred at the thought that raced through my mind. Watching Eli go down on her while I sucked the magic out of her would be far too decadent. I couldn’t see her but I hoped that her cheeks were painted with that beautiful red I had seen the last time in the garden.

I heard the small shuffling of her feet and her pajama-clad body came into view with Amr in her arms. She locked eyes with me and held the cat out to me. He meowed unhappily but I couldn’t even bother to look at him, I was too entranced by the light blush that spread across her face, only interrupted by her freckles. I swallowed thickly and tried to ignore the coiling in my stomach.

When I took Amr from her arms and accidentally brushed my skin against her, my magic jumped up to the surface and reached out to her. Then in a matter of seconds, the monster disappeared in a poof and instead it was like a dog tugging at its leash, whining to get a taste of the curse.

There has to be another reason.

My teacher’s voice rang through my head, and I was suddenly brought back to the feeling of Amr struggling in my arms. Rae grabbed the fallen pillow and handed it to Rosie before she and Eli pushed my dazed form down the hallway and to Rae’s dorm. As we walked, I pushed my magic out to Amr and he sucked it up like a black hole, purring as he did.

“What did your teacher say?” Rae asked as she pushed me into her room. It was just like any other dorm, but I didn’t miss the expensive coffee machine on the counter of her kitchenette.
