Chapter 13: Knockout
I read the line at the bottom three times.
"All her partners," I said.
"All of them." My roommate's ribbons were coming out of her hair. "If you lose one match, the winner gets Cassius."
Behind me, the bed creaked.
Cassius came to the door in his shirt with his hair every which way and took the paper out of my hand.
He read it once.
"Your father," he said.
"He can't beat me, so he's trying to buy you back." I took the paper back and folded it very small. "Wolves for the bride price, a dragon for the debt. He's a tidy man."
Pip climbed off my roommate's shoulder onto mine and sniffed my ear.
"The first knockout is in four days," my roommate said. "Against a bear."
"Then we have four days," I said.
The training ring was full of people by the next morning.
I hadn't asked anybody.
They just came.
My roommate brought her fox and a stopwatch she'd stolen from the riding master.
Jory came at six, alone, in his dark red vest, and stood at the rail until I looked at him.
"Bears favor the left foreleg," he said. "We fought one in the spring trials. They swing wide with the right and they can't turn back fast."
"Show me," Cassius said.
