“How could this happen?” I chided Maze as we hurried down the path toward the school. It was late afternoon and this time of year the sun began to set at 4:00 p.m. Cool air seeped in through my sweater and I pulled my bomber jacket higher on my shoulders to fight the wind.

“Your crazy friend showed up,” he snapped back.

“You didn’t have to let her in!” Classes were over for the day and the other students were all heading back to their houses or hanging out laughing in groups of friends. Their lives all seems so carefree. I almost missed the days when all I had to worry about was classes and Tilly.

Maze tapped his temple. “She’s important. I’ve seen it.”

I stopped in my tracks. “Important to what? What’s going to happen to her?”

“Nothing, if I can help it.” He turned from me and kept walking.

I quickened my pace to catch up. “What the hell does that mean? If you can help it?”

“We’re going to need her. That’s all I can say.”

I grabbed his jacket and jerked him to a stop. He arched his eyebrow at me and pointedly looked at my hand.

“Ballsy.”

“I don’t give a shit how ballsy you think I am. You need to start talking and you need to start talking now.” I shook him. Some of the students openly gaped at me, but I didn’t care. “Tilly is freaking lost in this magical hell she has no clue about. She’s a cat and is probably losing her shit. So if you know something, spill it now.”

Gold magic poured from my hand and surrounded him.

He looked down at my hand once more. “You’re gonna want to let me go.”

“Or what?” I wasn’t scared of him the way everyone else was. This was Maze and after living with him for weeks, the only thing I was worried about around him were my goldfish snacks.

Green smoke poured from his hands and the lapels of his jacket opened wide. Tarot cards flew from his pockets and surrounded me like a tornado. They glowed and the images blurred together as they moved faster and faster. Students ran and ducked for cover as I stood in the middle of this. My own magic rose to meet his and I didn’t stop it. His cards glowed to a blinding color and I dropped my grip and shielded my eyes. Green smoke blasted me and my body flew up and back. I twisted in the air and dropped toward the ground.

I held my hands out and let my magic go. I pictured myself floating down to the ground and my fall slowed to a float and I righted myself. I dropped down a few feet away from him and stepped from the air like I was walking off the bottom step. I straightened my jacket and stomped up to Maze. “What was that for?”

The cards drifted back down into his pockets and his smoke dissipated as quickly as it came on. He cracked his neck and locks of his midnight hair fell asleep.
