Sliding past the others as fluid as water going around rocks in a stream he came for me, I felt his arm snag my waist and my feet left the Earth. I heard Devon’s shots fire and Kenneth soared into the air in pursuit. Cassi let out a scream and I heard the others calling my name as we ascended, until they were just specks.

In the blink of an eye Shamshiel closed his wings around us

I asked in my mind trying to comprehend it. Our morning class ended while I was out on my own world. I can also hear the rumors about the incident happened in the morning but I don’t care.

And for a single, suspended moment— There was nothing. The Fall Then— I dropped. Not physically. Not in a way I could understand.

Stop catastrophizing. Alex tried to read a document. Failed. Checked the clock. 2:47 PM. Only forty-seven minutes had passed. She checked her phone again. Nothing. No calls. No texts. No emergencies. 3:58 PM finally arrived. Alex grabbed her keys. Jessica opened the door laughing. “They discovered washable markers!” Behind her Catherine and Maya were covered in bright blue and purple scribbles.

We took out their leader before he could gain real power.” Lennox smirked. “Which means we won.” Thalassa clinked a glass against the table. “Finally.” Darwin looked at Fiona. “We did it.” She nodded. “Yeah.” But instead of the rush of victory, she felt something else.
