"Sophie!" I yell through the mist. "Sophie!"

All of my friends are gathered with me, all yelling Sophie's name as well.

Suddenly, a scream pierces through the mist. It's Sophie's.

We all run toward the voice.

"No, no, no, please." Sophie whimpers. "You know what it'll do them. I can't hurt them like that."

"Too late." Vespera cackles.

"NO!" It takes me half a second to realize that the lightning bolt was aiming for me.

But then it stops suddenly.

The mist clears.

There's Sophie's lifeless body.

Grady leans over and checks her pulse. He shakes his head. No.

Everyone stares at her body. 

This can't be happening.

I drop to my knees, sobbing.

NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo.

This can't be real.


Sophie's dead.
