Life In Shadows – Elliott Kay

She knew he was waiting for an apology for her snapping at him. It wasn’t forthcoming. Shannon could be firm and loud in an emergency, but she rarely rebuked him or anyone else with the company. She was always shy at parties. Quiet. Not withdrawn, but certainly introverted. A rebuke like that only came out when someone struck a nerve.

She hadn’t even let anyone know she had a boyfriend until the Christmas party last year. Now she had lost him, and felt more annoyed than heartbroken. She realized the heartache would come later. For the moment, her biggest problem was the guy looking over her shoulder as she tapped at her phone. “Changin’ your relationship status on your profile, huh?” “No,” answered Shannon. “I never post that kind of stuff. I’m tempted to close the whole stupid account except for all my family out of state.”

“So what are you doing?” “I’m trying to figure out how to make it stop sending me updates when people send me something or tag me.” “Why’s that?” “Because he changed his status and people are bugging me about what’s wrong.” “Seriously? He did that already? Shannon, this fuckin’ guy—” “Is out of my life now, okay?” Shannon sighed. “Let it go.

I’m better off without him. I’ll find somebody new sooner or later.” She looked out the window, wishing she could step right out the door and out of this conversation. “Well, you’re a pretty gal, right? I mean I don’t want to get awkward, but you are,” Ian pointed out. “I bet you get asked out a lot, right?”

“No.” “Really?” “I think I project it or something, but…” Shannon let out a sigh. “I hate dating.” * * * Serena hated being thrown through drywall. She crashed through the plaster and flimsy wood in a mess of dust and splinters and continued straight through the coffee table in the living room, too.

Onyx stiffened. The question, asked from behind her with false warmth, interrupted her spell. The winged, seven-foot-tall gargoyle in front of her stared back with face-devouring rage. Onyx felt pretty much the same way. Bitch did not just check my magic cred in a place like this, she thought, yet she knew that some in this crowd would do exactly that. The gallery held a couple dozen Practitioners.

Almost every one of them saw the rest as a check on their own potential power. Grimacing, Onyx lowered her ebony wand and turned to face the inevitable games of “What’s Your Practice (So I Can Mock It)?”
