Chapter Eight

For the next few hours, Vivian, Tula and I spent scouring the library on any books that might relate to the trails. The computers brought up a warning page that anything about Wonderland or the Academy was off-limits. I hoped we hadn’t shown our hand before we even knew what it was. I didn’t know if anyone actually monitored computers or if there was a way to record our search history. If there was, I didn’t know if they could pin it back to us. I just wanted to make sure we were safe and smart.

As such, I suggested we go old school.

“I found a book on Latin and Greek.” Tula waved a thick book at us, coming back over to the table we had claimed as our own.

“Ewww…how is that supposed to help us?” Vivian sank into the chair beside me, furrowing her brow as she looked at her nails. “Do you even know either language?”

“No.” Tula placed a hand on her hip. “I know English, Spanish, some Italian and French.”

“Great.” I lifted my chin at her book. “Then you study that. I’ve got a book on Wonderland Mathematics. I aced Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus at school, so here’s hoping I’ve got a talent for this world’s math too.” I wasn’t sure if that would actually work if the maths correlated with each other, but who knew? Maybe we would be able to catch a break.

“And I’m studying submissions.”

“You’re studying BDSM sex?” Tula chuckled, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “Are they testing us on that too, ‘cause I’ll pass with flying colors.”

“God, I hope not.” I shook my head. My last two boyfriends were not great in bed at all. I don’t even think I ever had an orgasm. The sex was over too fast for me to know if I had or not. And from what I gathered, if I had had one, there would be no question of whether or not I had one.

“No. Submission holds.” She turned the book to face us. “Like in martial arts.”

Black and white images of people fighting, but one on their knees with their face scrunched up in pain caught my eye and I leaned forward to get a better look at them.

“Looks like a cross between Jujitsu and Judo.” I glanced over at her, impressed. “Are you able to do stuff like that?”

“Yeah, won’t you break a nail or something?” Tula added.

Vivian sniffed. “I’ll have you both know that I took Karate, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo.”

“Why?” Tula straightened. She furrowed her brow as though she didn’t quite believe anything that Vivian had to say, especially about self-defense. “Don’t you rich people have bodyguards to protect you and shit?”

“Yes,” she said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. “But do you think I have this great figure by eating caviar and shopping all day? I have to work for it. Besides, I kinda like being able to kick ass.” She grinned to herself, inspecting her manicure.
