EXCERPT
“Don’t you dare, Míra,” I begged, leaning forward to stop her hand before it moved into the ring we had drawn in chalk on the floor. “That’s my last marble, and I need it.”
“No, you don’t.” Míra wrinkled her nose, wiggling a bit before narrowing her eyes at me. The threat was clear, even in the dim light of Risha’s magic.
I tried not to purse my lips. I hated when she did that, being all rebellious and rude and stuff. It had been worse since she had gotten here.
Sometimes, I would swear she hated me. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t hate me. I was her brother; she was my best friend … You didn’t hate those people.
“You don’t need it. It’s your last one. I get that one, and you lose.”
The anger in her voice made me flinch as I sat back against the metal frame of her hospital bed. Folding my legs beneath me and sticking out my lip, I glared at the ring of marbles we had drawn in the middle of the hospital floor after Ryland had made us leave the ruins.
“Why do you think I don’t need it?” Now I was pouting. “I won’t get better at this game if you don’t give me a chance, and I want to master it before Ryland gets back from talking to Ilyan. He’s been gone an hour. I might still have time.”
“If you haven’t mastered it now, you aren’t going to.”
Ouch, Míra. She could at least talk to me like she didn’t hate me.
“No, you don’t.” Míra wrinkled her nose, wiggling a bit before narrowing her eyes at me. The threat was clear, even in the dim light of Risha’s magic.
