CHAPTER 7<br />

“ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?” Griffin is leaning over me, his brows<br />

pinched together in concern.<br />

“Yes,” I say, rolling onto my back. “Just peachy.”<br />

“What happened?” He looks really anxious, like I’m going to<br />

accuse him of zapping me like last time.<br />

No, I know better.<br />

“I’m not sure. I just tr—aaaack!” I try to stand, but my right ankle<br />

buckles under me. Arms flailing, I collapse forward against Griffin’s<br />

chest.<br />

Seems like Nicole didn’t just knock me down. <strong>My</strong> ankle doesn’t<br />

hurt or anything, but it won’t support my weight. As I clutch Griffin’s<br />

shoulders and claw my way upright, I throw a scowl in the direction<br />

of the bushes where I glimpsed her. She’s long gone, I’m sure.<br />

“You must have really twisted that ankle,” Griffin says, placing<br />

his hands on my back for support. “Can you walk?”<br />

“Of course I ca—aaaack!”<br />

Another step forward—and another tumble immediately into<br />

Griffin’s arms. What did Nicole do, zap away my ankle muscles?<br />

“Here.” Griffin comes up behind me, scoops down, and lifts me<br />

into his arms. “I’ll carry you.”
