Shadowed Match
Right after I spoke, Isolde screamed, pulling one assassin her way.
Thorne moved back to shield her.
All his focus was on Isolde, and he did not see another assassin coming at me.
I could feel the poison coursing through my veins.

Through the blur, I thought I saw someone bravely step in front of me and kick the assassin's blade away...
When I woke up, my four friends who might one day be more than just friends were all by my bedside.
