I turned back around and looked
at the group of people I was left with. One of them I could kill right now,
another I wouldn’t trust with my left shoe, three of them were useless and
Sebastian was my only friend and I didn’t even trust him completely. I sighed.
“Are
we done fighting kids?” Sloan said sarcastically. I shot him a death stare and
bared my teeth a little. Actually, make that two people I could kill right now.
“Are
we?” I looked at Audrey who had taken to twirling tendrils of her flame coloured
hair around her finger.
“For
now” she cooed. I grimaced in annoyance. Who even spoke like that? It was a
cross between the voice of a child and a whore.
“Can
I speak to you alone?” I said to Sebastian. He nodded in response, shot Sloan a
reproachful look and followed me behind a slab of fallen concrete.
“So
she wasn’t what we were expecting” I said.
“If
you were expecting help then no not at all, that one’s like wild fire. She
flares up and burns out unpredictably. When she first appeared your power
outburst had already run its course through most of the city. She questioned me
about it and before I could even reply she grabbed me and pulled out all my
bloody memories. Everything she touches is instantly under the command of her
power, and I mean instantly Evs.”
