After dinner, we hurried back to our room for a quick shower. Then, for the first time in a month, we changed into something that hadn’t come out of the Legion’s closets. I slipped into my favorite pair of jeans and a lace-trimmed tank top Tessa had put into the suitcase Calli and the girls had sent over last week. And, just because I was feeling adventurous, I put on a pair of high-heeled boots.

Ivy had selected a pair of red leather pants and a see-through black mesh top with strategically-placed arrangements of lace. The heels on her scrappy gold sandals could have staked a vampire. Drake was sporting a pair of dark jeans and a muscle t-shirt that read ‘I may look like an angel, but I dance like a demon’. Ivy had bought it for him before they’d joined the Legion. Maybe I should get one for myself, if only to see the appalled expression on Nero’s face when I wore it in front of him. I snorted at the thought.

A kaleidoscope of flashing lights beamed down on us at Club Firefall. Our fellow initiates were all letting their hair down tonight, relishing in their freedom for the first time in a month. To the heavy, infectious beat of music, we danced and drank and let loose in a way none of us had in over four weeks—or, in my case, forever. There was something about a month of putting your body through one punishment after the other that made you appreciate life in a whole new way. For this one night, I was free.

As the song ended, I stepped off the dance floor with my five roommates, making a beeline for the cornucopia symbol hanging over the bar. Two Legion brats cut us off.

“Hey, Drake. And ladies.” One of the guys laughed.

His buddy was equally jolly, and it wasn’t just from the rum I smelled on his breath. “So, we were wondering.” More snickering. “Are you even a real man?”

“What are you talking about?” Drake said.

“You’re staying in a room of girls.”

“Exactly.” A smile spread across his lips. “I’m staying in a room with five women. Take a moment to think about that.”

Then Drake returned to the dance floor with our three female roommates, who danced all around him. The two brats watched him with obvious annoyance, then left in a huff.

“They had that one coming,” Ivy laughed, then hurried to join our roommates.

But I was thirsty. I continued on to the bar and ordered a water. I’d already had way too many of those bombastic cocktails, and I wasn’t even sure what was in them. Something that made me really happy. Or maybe that was just my temporary freedom.

“Playing it safe?” Harker said, glancing down at my water as he sat down on the barstool beside me. He had a bombastic cocktail, blue edition.

“Well, I’m supposed to be behaving myself,” I replied. “Showing respect. Not mouthing off.”

“Basically everything you excel at.”

I grinned, lifting my glass. “Exactly.”

We clinked glasses, then fell into silence.
