The building was on fire. Again. I pinched the bridge of my nose and turned
to one of the witches who was standing next to me and wringing her hands.
‘Tell me you didn’t forget to cover your crystal ball.’
Sarah’s lip wobbled. ‘I’m so sorry, Coven Mother.’
I kept my face carefully neutral, trying to bank my frustration. ‘Until you
can learn proper potion and crystal-ball care, I’m demoting you to acolyte.’
I resisted the urge to apologise but this wasn’t Sarah’s first mistake, not by a
long shot. And her mistakes were costly. She needed supervision and her
bruised ego would just have to take the hit.
Sarah wailed at my judgement and collapsed sobbing into the arms of her
waiting friends. Ria sent me her best death glare, which I blithely ignored. I
contemplated giving Sarah a sympathetic little pat on the arm, but I’d just
relegated her back to the ranks of a lowly acolyte so I doubted any
comforting gestures from me would be welcome.
I turned back to the newly refurbished building and grimaced at the
flames licking at the freshly painted walls.
I hauled out my phone and speed-dialled Dick Symes: Dick by name, dick
by nature. Still, the water elemental was local, and one of his extended
family would be able to get here faster than the emergency services. No
doubt the location of the training house so close to one of the most
prestigious water elemental families in the UK was not a simple
coincidence but a matter of design by some clever former Coven Mother.
Goddess knows, we had needed the elementals often enough lately. The
thought made me narrow my eyes again at Sarah.
The phone continued to ring and I struggled to push down my impatience.
I didn’t need a water elemental in ten minutes, I needed one now. Luckily
Dick chose that moment to answer. ‘Amber DeLea, what do you need?’ he
asked brusquely.
I appreciated that he got straight to the point. We weren’t friends and we
didn’t need to discuss the weather. ‘I need someone to put out a fire at the
coven’s training house.’
There was a beat of silence. ‘Again?’
I couldn’t suppress the sigh that slipped out. ‘Yes.’
He snickered: dick. ‘Martin will be with you shortly. It’ll cost more this
time,’ he warned.
I expected nothing less. Nothing is free in the Other realm. ‘What do you
want?’ I asked suspiciously.
‘A favour,’ he suggested lightly, like it was no big deal.
I wasn’t born yesterday. No way was I agreeing to that; it was far too
open-ended. ‘One favour, to be called in within three months’ time. No
injury, harm or death to befall anyone as a direct consequence of that
favour,’ I counter-offered.
‘Done,’ he agreed triumphantly.
