Chapter Eleven

The one benefit of being so annoyed was that I stalked out of The Outlaw Hotel and barely even noticed all the witches in the front room staring at my back as I went.

No one tried to curse me, at least, but owing to the fact that it was just one more layer of anxiety and unfairness, I had to deliberately hold back from slamming the front door off its hinges. And I really didn’t want to know what the owner would do if I wrecked the property.

As soon as I stepped out onto the wooden walkway that ran through the Hollow, three separate tumbleweeds veered out of their way to slam into my legs, the prickly brown vegetation managing to scratch me right through my jeans. I kicked them away, then hopped over them when they tried to change course.

Something very close to a growl lingered at the back of my throat. And while it might have felt really, really good to sink my teeth into something, I had to fight the urge. Not only was it a super bad idea to pick a fight with a town full of witches that were all trained extensively with dark magic, but the prison was right there! I’d have happily gone sun tanning before I ever walked through those doors.

At least my shoes made a satisfying thump against the wooden walkway as I stalked through the town. I didn’t even have any destination in mind.

I couldn’t wait to leave a review. What a vacation spot, truly memorable. I made a mental note to ask Henner, Haven Hollow’s very own technomancer, if there was a supernatural version of Yelp.

Though it probably wouldn’t be smart to post a review until I was far away from the place.

I steered clear from the edge of town where the Jenny Greenteeth had set up shop. She’d been one of the few people who hadn’t treated me like crap, and that was nice, but seeing her again was going to bring back all the stress of the vision she’d revealed to me, and that wasn’t something I needed on top of everything else that was going on.

It took me a while to notice that I was being watched.

Like, an embarrassingly long time. In my defense, though, everyone was kind of watching me. I couldn’t twitch in the town without a half a dozen witches glaring at me like they were daring me to try something. But as I wandered the town, I realized that
