kept listening to them talking about tryouts. It was going to be the highlight of their days for weeks to come.

 
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
    HE NEXT COUPLE of weeks were a constant battle between Blake and I. We had so many words with one another and each time he tried to go for me – hurting me was the number one priority – the jolt in my arm would come back and I could protect myself from his bad temper.
    It made him more furious but he never transformed as he knew that I would have access to my abilities then and nothing he could do could hurt me.
    I thought that was exactly what they’d meant by calling it the impasse stage. The Riders did have some way to protect themselves from their dragons until the bond was made, or the Dent.
    He wanted me dead so badly so he could be free, but the bond didn’t allow it. He was harmless against me.
    The Rubicon was harmless against an insignificant little human girl like me. If I was still a Rubicon it would’ve made me furious too.
    I actually used that last statement so many times, I knew I was lowering myself to his standard, and although many told me to just walk away, Blake wasn’t the type that would let me just walk away.
    How long is this going to last?
    Master Longwei actually had to intervene the other day in the cafeteria.
    It’d been lunch time and I’d plopped down on my pillow right next to Becky and George.
    “I’m not going to even ask where you were,” Becky joked.
    “I’m not going to tell, either.” I smiled.
    “Longbottoms again?”
    “Nope.”
    “Urgh.”
    “Here we go,” George said and my entire body just slumped into the chair. “Dude, seriously, give it up man.”
    “George, stay out of this.” Blake leaned on the table and stared straight at me.
    “What, you miss me that much already?” I joked.
    “Never in a million years.” He was always so serious. It was so stupid.
    “Then what do you want, Blake?”
    “Elena just ignore him,” Sammy said.
    “You know what I want, Elena. Please.” He begged me and I looked at him. He’d never begged me before, well only that night when he’d wanted me to kill him.
    “Blake stop it!” Sammy yelled at him.
    “Stay out of this Samantha.” He glared at her and looked back at me. “You know what the Dent is Elena, please.”
    “Elena, don’t do it,” George said.
    “Shut the fuck up!” Blake barked at him.
    “It’s not what you think, idiot,” George said back through gritted teeth.
    “Then explain it to me, please. Because there is never going to be a time that I will want Elena more than anything else.”
    “Don’t ask me to explain it to you. Be patient.” George’s tone was soft. You would never know that he was a Moon-Bolt, a Chromatic dragon.
    Still, I couldn’t do this anymore but I knew I couldn’t free him either. So, I got up and went to leave.
    “No.” He grabbed my hand. “Say it. Now!”
    “Fine,” I yelled at him. “You want to hear it—”
    The words left George’s mouth so fast and an invisible contraption slapped over my mouth. I couldn’t speak.
    Chaos broke out as I looked at George, clutching my mouth to break the spell, and Blake grabbed him.
    Becky yelped from shock as they went for each other while I tried desperately to free myself from not being able to speak.
    Becky tried to help George, and it felt as if everything went into slow motion as Blake lifted up his arm and an invisible force threw her in the air.
    My heart stammered in my chest and the same jolt rushed up my arm, but this time it spread to my entire body.
    I lifted both arms as if I was going to grab her in the air, and to my surprise she stopped.
    I lowered her down to the ground gently, her eyes huge, and when she was safe, unharmed, I concentrated on Blake.
    I pushed him away from George just as he was about to throw another punch and his back was against the wall in a flash. An umph left his mouth as he collided with the wall, but to my surprise it still held.
    I
