The mill didn't explode, but it filled with a thick, acrid smoke that blinded the digital sensors. In the chaos, I felt Ethan’s hand grab mine. He was cold, his skin clammy, the light in his temple finally dying into a dull, exhausted gray. "Grace," he whispered, his weight crushing me as he leaned into me. "The child... get the child out..." "We're all getting out," I said. We stumbled through the smoke toward the shattered bay doors. Julian met us there, helping me shoulder Ethan’s weight.

I raise my hand, finger pointed to the woman in black, “Kill her.” I command an echo. The woman in black lifts her head, nose twitching, nostrils flaring. She caught a scent of something. Her eyes shift and land on me then dart to the echo almost upon her. “Morgan! No!” I see Finn racing toward the woman in black “Stop! No!” He screams. Panic-stricken and looking fearful.
