CHAPTER 15

A t some point, my hair had plastered itself to my face, so I moved it out of the way and watched as the other witches all took their turn on the obstacle course. Every time one of them finished, they came over to where I sat and hung around with Scarlett and me, which I thought was very nice of them.

“Good job,” Jess said when she finished, her skin covered in a thin sheen of sweat. “The first time I tried I fell off the floating plates. You made it way further than I did the first time around.”

“That’s a good workout, isn’t it?” the second witch asked me as she trotted over.

It was funny; I hadn’t really realized I was working out at the time — apart from the times when my muscles were so painful I thought I was being stabbed — but now that I sat here I realized I was breathing hard and that most of the muscles in my body were starting to feel tight and sore.

“Yeah, I guess it was,” I said with a nervous laugh.

“It’s what I love about Eye of the Wolf,” Jess explained. “Before I’d just go to a normal gym and run on the treadmill. And sure, it’s not too bad, but running isn’t the most exciting form of exercise to begin with, and I found myself just counting down how long it would be until I could stop doing it. Whereas not only are Mercutio’s obstacle courses always exciting, but you almost forget you’re exercising since you’re so focused on just getting to the end. He changes them a lot, too. He’s got dozens of obstacles and he switches them up all the time. All he needs is one witch to show up and cast the spell to make the course appear, but he designs them. And if you feel like you’re not getting enough of a workout, you just need to tell him and he can either make harder obstacles for you, or you can do multiple laps of the one that’s set up.”

I laughed. “Well, I didn’t even make it through one lap of this one, so I don’t think that’s for me.”

“That’s right, it’s your first time,” Jess said with a kind smile. “No one expects you to crush it on the first try.”

“Scarlett did,” I said, and Jess nodded.

“Yeah, that was really cool. You’re a natural,” she said, and Scarlett waved her compliment away.

“A lifetime of getting into trouble means I’m pretty good at getting out of sticky situations,” she said with a laugh. “It was really fun, though. I enjoyed it.”

“Do you want to come with me and go for a second round?”

Scarlett looked over at me, as if waiting for permission, but I waved her on, laughing.

“Go, go. Don’t let my wet butt stop you. If you want to do it, go do it.”

Scarlett grinned. “I’ll be back soon.”

I smiled as I watched my cousin and Jess running back toward the cargo net together.
