She laughs and shrugs. “You don’t.”
We stare at each other and I can hear the shouting grow closer. With a deep breath I nod my head.
“I will fight for you in return for the things you offered. I would also like a cut of the coin won. And half of everyday as my own time,” I say.
She snorts. “You have death at your back and you’re negotiating. You got balls.” I think of the ball at the castle with the dancing and music. It doesn’t seem to fit the context of her comment.
“I will give you a small cut of the coin. And if you prove to be a decent fighter, I will increase the percentage. And you’ll get half a day off a week, just like everyone else,” she says. Her jaw is set, she will not be swayed from this.
It is my turn to snort. “I’m a good fighter.” Half a day a week is not ideal, but this is my safest option at the moment.
“We’ll see,” she says with an arched brow, turning away.
I scale the wall at a run and pull myself onto the top.
“One more thing,” I say. She looks over her shoulder with a frown.
“If you try to take advantage of me, I’ll rip your head off,” I say and then wonder belatedly if I should have put a bad word in there, too.
She smiles, but it does not reach her icy blue eyes. “Right back at ya kiddo.” She pulls herself onto the roof of a building and then turns back towards me.
“You coming?” She glances to the shadows moving at the end of the alley. I swallow hard knowing this is a pivotal moment in my likely short existence. The shadows creep closer, making my decision for me.
I follow the woman up onto the rooftop, in the midst of Glacium’s lethal outer ring.

ZERO
By Claire Stevens
If you're made an offer that seems too good to be true, it usually is...
Roanne Harper is having a bad week. Falsely accused of shoplifting and suspended from school, her whole life has taken a distinct nose-dive. So when her solicitor tells her that there is another option open to her, that by helping to rescue a kidnapped child the charges against her could be dropped, she ignores the nagging voice of doubt in the back of her mind and agrees to help. What she doesn’t realise is that her journey will take her through a parallel dimension, where she will meet gods, demons, superheroes, psychopaths and a boy who may hold the answer to who she really is.
