Victoria had always been very good at making disasters look like my fault. It was the only skill she had fully mastered.She stood in the training hall with her arms folded across her chest. Her black hair always looked perfect as she looked at me with an expression of wounded innocence. She had mastered the look too apparently.The broken ceremonial blade lay on the floor behind her where she had dropped it after using it to fight several holographic simulation warriors. Even though I had not touched the weapon, everyone was looking at me as if I had personally marched into the restricted weapons chamber and declared war on the academy.“She broke the rule,” Victoria said quietly. “Kiara knew we weren’t allowed to use a ceremonial weapon during combat practice, but she took it anyway, and when I tried to stop her, she became aggressive.”I stared at her. For one beautiful second, I considered laughing, because there was something almost impressive about the confidence with which she

“Do it, Victoria.” Julia urged, her voice muffled by the sound of my heart beating weakly in my ear. “She deserves it.”“Get off her now or lose your arm, Victoria.”Trevor’s voice made her stiffen and her grip loosened enough for me to draw in a breath. The crowd suddenly went silent as the aura of the three intimidating prodigies charged the atmosphere.Mrs. Heather arrived pushing through the students, her expression furious as she looked from Victoria to me. “Release her, Victoria.

Then a woman laughed in a low mocking sound.“I’m impressed. You’re strong enough to sense me.”I turned around again and again, but there was nobody there.

I wonder what you want with a nobody.”“Cute.” She laughed again. “I’m sorry, but I have to kill you now.”My heart skipped a beat. I had never felt fear like this before. My whole body ached and I knew I was no match for this intruder. Even when the rogue attacked me, I could see my enemy. This woman was different. I couldn’t smell her or track her movements, and something told me she was definitely going to kill me. The lights went out amd a thick
