No one said a word, which was fine by me. Talking would only deepen the tension. Silence was usually how we handled it when things got real dicey. I guess we were all kind of caught up in our own thoughts. I was worried about Derek and Zack. Yeah, I know, I had more important things going on that should have come out on top of my list of things to worry over, but I’ve never been the big picture kind of girl. In that moment I was less concerned about the danger of following Megara than I was about my brother and the guy I was in love with getting into a serious fight. Sure, they’d argued before. Lots. Once they even got in a fistfight and I had to use my power over air to separate them. But I’d hoped things between them would get better as time passed. They hadn’t. I wouldn’t have believed it possible before, but I was starting to think they were actually getting worse. And if it came down to a real fight, water versus fire, I knew how it would end. And then what?
