Chapter 6: Escape

Mary
Mary goes to Hamilton's office to ask for permission to visit Fred's grave in Earl's Court. Hamilton and Ashley tell her that Earl's Court is one of the most dangerous places in London for witches, and refuse to take her. This makes Mary determined to leave.

Ash
Mary tells Ash about her plan to escape, asking for his assistance. When he initially refuses, she decides to go and ask Reg how he left the academy, knowing this because of what Callum told her. Reg then tells her about Tanner Webster, a teleportation mage who will take people out of the academy for payment/favours. While Ash and Reg argue about using Tanner, Mary disappears to look for him.

Mary
Mary finds and knocks on Tanner's door. He invites her in and she asks him to take her to Brompton Cemetery. After some initial resistance, Tanner suggests that they could "do [him] a...favour". Realising what he means, Mar begins to lose her temper. She lashes out and—without realising—fills Tanner's lungs with water, almost drowning him. She eventually realises what she is doing and calms down. Tanner, afraid, then agrees to take her to Earl's Court. Just as they are about to go, Callum breaks down the door. But it is too late, and Mary and Tanner disappear.
