    About this ebook

    Kendra has her first assignment: to stop a bully at a school for magical girls.

    But she underestimates the language barrier, she overestimates her own competence at villainy, and she's not used to fighting without magic.

    So attacking an entire school of magical girls may not be the wisest thing she's ever done.

    Especially since a villainous fashion designer is watching.

    Books were my first love and best friends growing up, which I did in five states and four countries. My love of storytelling has never waned, and I've always wanted to write -- and share -- my own stories.I love fantasy, especially fairy tale retellings, fascinating magic systems, humor, and clean paranormal romance. I like science fiction too, but the more magic in a story, the more pleased I'm likely to be.I have two comics, the first of them complete, the second ongoing. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, crafts, editing, and I occasionally play videogames.

      To Prevent Smart Choices - Emily Martha Sorensen

      Chapter 1: The Eavesdrop

      Paint dribbled from the thick brush as Kendra swiped it from one side of the crack to the other.  Swipe swipe swipe.

      . . . So I don’t think Florence is going to come, Kendra concluded, finishing the interminable story that had felt like it was never going to wrap up.

      Good, Chronos grunted from below her.

      "Good? Kendra’s head spun around, glaring down at her.  Florence said no, and you say good?"

      Chronos dunked her thick brush into the can of housepaint beside her.  Truth be told, she hadn’t listened for the last ten minutes, but she wasn’t going to admit that.  If she did, Kendra might feel the need to explain the whole spiel all over again from the beginning.

      You were asking her to join you, right? Chronos hazarded.  The last thing she had paid attention to was Kendra going over a long list of reasons why Florence would have made a perfect member of their still-unnamed villain team.

      Yes! Kendra said impatiently.  Weren’t you listening?

      No, Chronos thought.

      Yes, she said.

      Well, Kendra said huffily, shoving her paintbrush into the can of paint perched precariously on top of the ladder she was standing upon, "then you should know there’s nothing good about it.  We needed Florence!"

      Then maybe you should’ve told her that before you quit your team and left her behind, Chronos said tartly, jabbing her paintbrush into the cracks in the paint beside her.

      She was feeling rather cranky to be doing this chore in the first place.  Tiffany’s FIX IT! power had fixed the structural damage on the outside walls of the lair, but the paint had stayed cracked, leaving exposed stone and bricks underneath.  Chronos hadn’t even noticed that, much less cared, but then Kendra had shown up in her bedroom this morning with two paintbrushes and cans of paint.

      C’mon, oracle! Kendra had said impatiently.  We have to make this place look respectable!

      Why? Chronos had asked incredulously.  Who’s going to see it?

      Logic hadn’t worked on Kendra, however, and then next thing she’d known, they were both outside painting walls for no good reason whatsoever.

      That girl is way too obsessed with appearances, Chronos thought grumpily, poking her paintbrush into the holes in the paint and moving down a step to reach the next part.  I hope she and Rhea never meet.

      . . . which was why I couldn’t tell her then, Kendra was saying.  But of course I thought of it!  I knew we would need Florence!  She has powers to incapacitate without injuring, and she wouldn’t have had to give them up because she was in no danger of turning evil!  What do you take me for?

      A person who can’t stop talking long enough to notice that I’m not listening? Chronos thought.

      Oh, I know what you’re thinking, Kendra said, glaring as she swiped her paintbrush back and forth again across the spot that was
