The gym, late Tuesday night
Nadia headed straight from the roof to the gym and grabbed a bo staff. She warmed up quickly, trying to focus on her breathing and not the prickly feeling behind her eyes. She closed her eyes, memories lunging out at her from the back of her mind.
The police officer, lifting his club. Roberto telling her she was special. Her and Walter sparring the first month of school. Walter the vampire, leering down at her with Pippi the fairy at his side. The tail lights fading over the causeway. Walter and Cally lying with her in bed. The look of concern when she'd gotten the email. The look of pain, lasting only moments, when she said she was leaving. Cesar spotting her in the airport, Cesar drilling with her, insisting on taking her out for a drink even when she kept saying "no". Roberto grabbing Cesar by the shirt. Roberto putting the necklace on her after she graduated.
Diego, bleeding and dying on the floor of the club.
The look of shock on Roberto's face when she drew the gun.
The smile when Walter had first spotted her, and the way he looked at her when he shook his head.
She realized she was screaming when she ran out of breath. She took a step back from the dummy she was beating the crap out of with her staff.
If it'd been human, it'd be dead by now.
Crap.
She dropped her staff and fell to her knees, struggling to catch her breath.
It was probably better Walter had broken it off.
She wasn't exactly safe.

Oh, way to be selfish again, me.

Nadia pulled away from Cally, looking down. "Sorry."
