To beat a Bully
Viviane clears her throat, and her expression looks furious. “Nia, I want
a word. You two, piss off.”
Darius grimaces at me, and he and Serana cross to the door.
Viviane glares down at me. “What was that today?”
“Tarquin lost it.”
“I don’t care about Tarquin.” Viviane narrows her eyes. “He can take
care of himself. He’s a good fighter. I’m the self-defense instructor, and it’s
my job to make sure that out in the field, you’ll be able to take care of
yourself and your allies. And right now, Nia, it doesn’t seem likely.”
“I’ve never trained for this,” I protest. “I work in a bookstore.”
“Really? And when you’re on a mission, will you ask them for mercy
because you’re just a harmless little reader of books?” She shakes her head.
“I’ve never seen such a pathetic display of survival instinct. Tarquin is a big
man. How do you beat a big man?”
I raise my eyebrows. “I need to be faster?”
“Don’t be absurd. You can’t be faster. He’s been training from a young
age, and you’re weak.”
I bite my lip “So…I should tire him out. Keep my distance until—”
“Aren’t you asthmatic? The longer the fight is, the worse your chances
are.”
“I should use his weight against him?” I ask desperately.
“How? Scare him with diet tips?”
“I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me the answer? How do I beat him?”
“With everything you’ve got!” she snarls.
“Sorry, what does that mean?”
“Why didn’t you bite his nose off?”
My jaw drops. “You want me to bite his nose off?”
“He was on top of you. Inches away. All you had to do was lunge
forward and bite his nose off. Really grip that nose with your teeth and
gnaw at it until you rip it to shreds. Or distract him, then gouge his eye out
Good Day?
Cheer up, our Lady of the Lake.” Tana lays her hand on my shoulder.
“It was, all considered, a good day.”
My jaw drops open. “A good day? People died. Raphael has been taken
—”
“But we’ve slowed the darkness’s progress, and we still have hope.”
“Raphael doesn’t.”
“Doesn’t he?” she asks.
Something in her tone eases the heavy weight in my chest. There’s a
playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
“What do you mean?” I ask. “Did you see something? Can you just tell
me, for fuck’s sake?”
“Calm down.” She hands me her deck of cards. “Shuffle them.”
I do as she says, shuffling them with trembling hands.
“Now, pick a card. Just one.”
“This feels more like a magic trick than a reading.”
“It’s a reading.”
I take one card out and flip it. The Star.
“I’ve checked over and over,” Tana says. “Always the Star. Past and
future. And that, I’m certain, is Raphael. The card represents healing and
the connection to the universe, someone in tune with the creative force. If
he were truly doomed, that’s not what we’d see. His light would be
dimmed. Raphael has been taken, that’s true. But you can save him. You
can get him back. And his light will return to us.”
Against my better judgment, I feel hope rekindling in my heart. “Are
you sure?” My throat is tight.
She touches my cheek. “You are the Lady of the Lake.”
I bite my lip. “That sounds so formal.”
“How about Aqua Bitch?” Serana grins, joining us. “That’s better,
right?”
“Aqua Bitch?” Tana asks, scandalized. “What nicknames do you have
