    About this ebook

    Kendra's worst nightmare is now a reality. Someone else is taking her place, the Magical Girl Union exists, and Chronos won't tell her where it is or who's behind it.

    Instead, she's sent on an insultingly easy mission to stop a magical girl thief, which turns out to be slightly less easy . . .

    . . . when Kendra accidentally stumbles into a newspaper that tells her what her best friend is currently doing.

    Emily Martha Sorensen

    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 Best Friends - Emily Martha Sorensen

      Chapter 1: The Surveillance

      Rhea was hard at work, furiously trying to make sense of the egregious nonsense her predecessor had left behind.  It seemed that Great-Uncle Nico’s idiocy about foreign policy had been equaled only by his incompetence at domestic management.

      She heard a rustle from behind her.  Annoyed, she flicked a quick glance at her arm to check a split second into the past, saw it was Minerva standing there, and didn’t bother to turn around.

      Ma’am? her minion ventured from the doorway.  The peons are complaining again.

      Let them, Rhea snorted derisively.  They’re all too afraid of me to do anything about it.

      I . . . I don’t think they are.  They’re saying things like ‘lazy’ and ‘weak’ . . .

      "Lazy? Rhea exploded, looking over her shoulder.  Do they have any idea what a mess Great-Uncle Nico left me?!"

      No, but I don’t think they c—

      His records on renegade family members are ridiculously sloppy, Rhea fumed.  He hadn’t updated the file on Chronos in over a decade, the file about me misspelled the name of my store, and did you know that I have a third cousin twice removed with grandchildren currently living in Argos who don’t even know they’re Olympians?!

      Boss, I don’t think the peons are intere—

      "And mismanagement of funds! Rhea exclaimed.  He hadn’t paid a minion or assassin in years, which means all the competent ones quit years ago.  The only ones who stayed were either family or terrified of him, which left a pathetic selection.  And do you know how many infiltrators he had among our rivals and enemies?  Do you?  Do you?"

      Minerva was suppressing a yawn.  N— she began.

      ZERO! Rhea screamed, clenching her fists.  That complete idiot!

      Minerva sighed.  I didn’t say I agreed with them, boss.  I just said that the idiots are getting restless.  Why don’t you just blackmail somebody to keep them happy?

      Rhea turned and gave her minion a flat stare.

      Minerva folded her arms, not remotely cowed.

      In the silence, Rhea’s gaze flitted across her minion’s outfit, evaluating the skill with which it had been put together.  She had to admit, it was pretty clever.

      Minerva wore two ponytails, one at the top left side and one at the bottom right, which made her look off-balance and potentially out of her mind.  The skirt she wore was slashed up to the hip in twelve places, allowing her arrowhead tail free range of movement, as well showing off enough of her legs to be highly distracting to any men who came near.  And the starburst necklace she wore was a subtle, yet terrifying, threat.

      To most people, of course, it would seem no more than a pretty piece of jewelry.  It was the sort of accessory Rhea might have given to a magical girl.  But for the Olympian minions who had spent decades placating a man with the power to kill people with an explosion of power that took that exact
