After a quick lunch, Braxton dropped me off at the natural sciences building. He offered to go into class with me, but I knew he had his own business class to attend. Taking a deep breath, I walked into the auditorium. With a quick look over the students, it wasn’t hard to see Dakota sitting in his regular seat. I had to make a choice.

I could stand up to a billionaire overbearing father, but not an ex-lover.

“Suck it up, Lacey,” I said as I made the move to sit with him. Just before I got there, another woman slipped into the seat next to him. I hadn’t seen her in the class before, but I didn’t pay much attention to anyone else.

I took the seat nearest him but back a row. He looked back at me, then at the woman next to him. I shrugged, then the lights dimmed as our professor began to run through slides of rocks. Someone once told me that geology was one of the easier sciences, but it was also the most boring.

When the lights clicked back on, the woman sitting beside Dakota jerked her hand back to herself. His hand remained open where hers had once laid in it. A heavy feeling settled in my stomach and a bout of nausea threatened to make me puke.

“Please prepare for the test,” Professor Abilia said. A teacher’s assistant passed tests out at the end of the row. We each took one and passed it. While at lunch, Brax helped me go through the questions. He’d taken geology before so he already knew the answers. I hurried through the test, turned in my paper, and never looked back as I ran out the door. The closest bathroom was down the hallway.

Just as I reached the door, the hallway darkened.

“No! Leave me alone!” I shouted.

A figure in a hood stepped out of the wall ahead of me. It was taller than Ajax. I turned to run only to find another one behind me. This one had a small frame like a woman.

“No,” I shouted again. “Stop!”

“Come with us. It will be a lot less painful if you do,” the male said.

“Get away!”

“It’s good that you are afraid. You should be, but it’s too late now,” the woman said. She lowered her hood to show me the face of the woman who had been sitting with Dakota. She held up a bloody knife. “He didn’t even fight me. You’d broken him enough that I just shoved it in without effort.”

“NO!”

When I turned back to the man, he was right in front of me. I pushed my hand toward him like I was going to push him away, but a blast of wind came from it, throwing him down the hallway. His body rolled to a stop.

“Reckless, foolish girl. You can’t use magic to save yourself. It only draws more of us to you.” She cackled as she slowly approached me. I lifted my hand, and without the chant, my purple circle appeared.
