I ran faster than I ever had before, reaching him first. I used my finest blade work, but never landed a hit. I used my ability to its extent, but he never wavered. You ran in next, dual daggers in hand. I was happy to see that you used the form I taught you, but I saw something in you. A strange form of controlled insanity. Then, I saw our enemy fly back from some sort of explosion. I ran into the smoke, but found a curved blade against my neck-- Viktor's scythe. I saw you running towards me, but my glare told you to go. I can handle this. "I will see you again," I whispered to you. "Now GO!!" You turned and reluctantly ran out of the building. "Leave the other," I heard Viktor say. "We have the girl. Take her away. She'll be submitted for questioning tomorrow." The guards shoved me into a cell and pushed me over. One took my weapon and the other my shoes. I don't know why. They left and I yelled some pretty vulgar words and phrases. I hit the walls and stone bars. I was trapped and I definitely knew it.
