I spin just in time to see her on her knees beside the altar, both of her hands pressed to Kaziel's chest.
He's writhing in agony now. Blood pours from his nose and mouth, splattering on the stone as his body arches, the Hollow lashing out. His eyes are rolled back, his breath coming in strained pants.

"The Hollow's fighting to take over. It’s being affected by the Sanctum and is redirecting the backlash into Kaz’s body," Kira shouts. "It knows it's losing!"
I grab Kaziel's face, forcing his gaze towards mine.
