Chapter Twelve

Maddie

I pushed through the door at street level, finally done with class. I’d imbued the charm with Umbral energy that still hadn’t worn off. No one’s had. Our homework was to record how long the energy lasted and one more attempt over the weekend. Nox hurried out the door with me. I stopped short, and we collided. I ended up on all fours with scraped palms. Nox tripped right over me, stumbling headlong into Josh Dennison.

They were a tangle of limbs at the bottom of the steps. Muffled exclamations of surprise and annoyance had me stifling laughter as I stood up and brushed myself off. They looked like a giant amalgamated spider. I reached a hand down and grabbed one of Nox’s. It was cold and a bit clammy, exactly what I’d expect from a Kelpie.

Josh’s eyes followed our movement as I helped her up. Her breath plumed out white in the cold air, carrying a stammer of laughter along with it. I held my hand out to help Josh up, but he shook his head and rose on his own. I also laughed. Couldn’t help it.

“Great Goblin’s Garters, that’s hilarious!” Nox held her shaking sides with one hand and pointed at Josh’s chest with the other.

“I know, right?” I leaned on a lamp post to steady myself, gasping words out between giggles.

“What’s so funny?” Josh put his hands on his hips, feet shoulder’s width apart. His face wore the most menacing frown he could probably manage. Other people might be scared of an angry wolf shifter, but it didn’t faze either of us. After all, Nox could turn into a magical Unseelie horse, and I could hide if Josh wolfed out.

“Didn’t look before you put your shirt on today, huh?” I pressed a hand to my breastbone, trying to suppress the giggle fit.

“Leaping Luna, I did it again?” He pulled down the hem of his t-shirt, peering at it. I watched his lips form the words “Fuck you, you fucking fuck.” He rolled his eyes, reminding me of Lynn on an extra-sarcastic day.

“Yup.” I shook my head. “You wore the rudest shirt in the known universe again.”

“Wait, again?” Nox’s question came complete with a curious glimmer in her eye. “You mean he’s worn that in public before?”

“Yeah, I did. That was the worst presentation grade I ever got.” Josh sighed. “I’ll have to do something about that before I go on my Campus Police business.”

“And how.” I blinked. “Wait. You have Campus Police business?”

“Yeah. Gotta check on some professor on emergency medical leave. No one’s heard from him and the Headmistress is worried.”

“Hmm.” I wanted to tell Josh more, but probably shouldn’t in front of Nox. She didn’t know about the Grim problem.

“Oh, wow.” Nox put one hand over her mouth. “The only Professor on leave is Brodsky, the guy who was supposed to teach Magic Theory. Can I go with you? I had him last semester and actually liked him.”

My voice mingled with Josh’s as we spoke simultaneously.
