Chapter Four

* * *

The sun felt hot on his head and shoulders as he crossed the asphalt expanse toward the other two boys, and he burned with energy.

He also had plenty of time to think things over, just as he had when Andrew had tried to punch him at morning recess.

What am I going to do? What should I do?

Maybe those were two separate things.

Other questions occurred to him. What would Dad do? Or Uncle Graydon, or Hugh? Or Mom?

Trying to figure that out was much trickier than trying to hold on to a cloaking spell. They were all very different people, which meant they might make very different choices from each other.

Maybe that meant there was more than one right way to deal with something, and maybe . . . more than one wrong way to deal with something too.

To be sure he dealt with this in the right way, he might have to grow up some more. His dragon side liked that idea and tried to push to get bigger, but he managed to stay in control of that for now. Eventually his dragon side would win and he would go through another growth spurt, but he could postpone it for a while.

The only thing he knew for sure was that dealing with cows was easy compared to dealing with Andrew and the tools. As Hugh had said about the cows (or hunting any other kind of prey), take only what you need, kill them quick and don’t let them suffer.

When he reached the stairwell the other boys straightened from the railing and started over to him, both walking with a bit of a swagger and darting glances at each other.

Were they egging each other on? Where had Brad gone?

Giving the area outside the playground one last glance, Liam jogged lightly down the bare, concrete steps in the stairwell. There was nothing at the bottom of the stairs except for a few dried leaves, and a metal, locked door that led into the school building.

Nobody would be able to see what happened down here, unless Hugh or one of the other guards flew directly overhead, which they might choose to do, but he hoped not. He wanted to figure this out on his own.

Turning, he put the concrete wall at his back and looked up at the other two boys who stood at the top of the stairs. Then the predator in him went quiet and waited.

Come on, he thought. I was fast earlier, and that surprised you, but I’m just a first grader and you guys are third graders. There’s only one of me, while there’s two of you.

Andrew and Joel must have arrived at the same conclusion, because after exchanging a grin, they bounded down the stairs after him.

Okay, then. He got ready.

Andrew said, “How’s your back? I heard you fell down earlier and got a boo-boo.”

Joel snickered.

“Maybe you’ll fall down again someday soon,” said Andrew. The expression in his eyes had turned hectic, and he looked excited.
