The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

wrath of the ender kin

POV 3rd person 

Crystal and Razer sat, staring as Sheila sat talking with Lance, the two talked and laughed and seemed to get along well. 

"Sister...I didn't know mom knew Lance...and got along so well with him," Razer said. 

"I didn't think anyone got along that well with Lance...even his girlfriend...." Crystal answered back.

Sheila turned to see her family staring, she waved to them before going back to talking with Lance. "I think they're planning to murder someone," Stella said interpreting their thoughts. "it's the only thing I can think they have in common," 

"that tracks," Razer added. 

"I think they're just friends," Meeps said walking over. 

"What would Sheila have to do with Lance?" Stella asked. 

"Well, we do have some enderkin him us," Crystal added. "it's a very small amount to the point it only really gave her a long life but..."

Suddenly Lance and Sheila turned and got up to walk over. "Crystal, I know you already know Lance, but there is something important you should know, Lance looked after us just after you were born, he even named you," 

Crystal let out a sigh of relief. "thank the gods! I thought you were gonna say you were dating for a minute," 

"EW!" Sheila said. "Lance is my best bud, I didn't want to date him," 

"And she's not my type! not enough...'Ahem' anyway, I don't know how I didn't put it together earlier, someone named Crystal with lightning powers," Lance admitted, he thought for a moment. "Do you have a stuffed Gorf toy?" 

"Yes, I ummm...Still, sleep with it sometimes," Crystal admitted.

Lance's face lit up. "I made that for you! when you were like a week old, you didn't leave my Gorf alone so I thought you'd like your own,"

"So just for clarity, you weren't planning on killing anyone?" Razer asked. 

"Why would I plan that? I'd do it," Sheila said, this made Lance and Rzer both smile.  

Razer, Crystal, Sheila and Lance walked to the wall to meet Ceris and Gwedonly who were helping Patrick train the new joint ender watchers and Frostbourne squad, the walk through the cold snow was nice as they all talked until reaching the wall. 

POV Sheila 

we saw Gwendoly and Ceris just ahead of us then BOOM the wall shocked and fell taking us with it, I saw Crystal open a portal and get her and Razer through it, Lance tried to grab me to teleport us out but couldn't reach me as fell. 

Lance was buried under some rubble, I was lucky enough to have gotten out mostly unshaven, I noticed someone walking out of the smoke, their form looked female, although dressed in a dark purple, with their face covered, only showing their eyes, it was hard to tell. 

but those eyes, those were the eyes of an enderkin, and she was carrying a sword, a very sharp sword, I reached for my mine but I must have lost it while falling, she walked forward towards Lance, who was pinned under some rubble, not moving. 

"HEY!" I yelled grabbing a rock and chucking it at her, she teleported behind me and I dodged a punch, spinning and kicking out aiming for her legs but she was gone, then the nearby part of the wall came down, I wasn't quick enough to dodge, also getting pin under some rubble. 

The woman walked out from behind, me and continued towards Lance, she stood above him and raised her Katana, the rubble around Lance shifted, and a dust and dirt-covered hand raised from the ground, grabbing the blade.
