Innocent little girl vibes

------------------------------

We all press against the window to see if Mr. Ramble is fine. He's already a safe distance away from us, and relatively unharmed. The soldiers don't seem to be firing at him though.

They're firing at a little girl with the same blond hair as me. The girl is screaming and running in terror. A bullet scrapes her arm and she wails in pain. Tears well up in her eyes as she trips over and falls to the ground, wounding her knee in the process. The soldiers smile viciously, pointing their guns at her...

"No!" I scream, melting into my shadow, passing through the door and darting towards the soldiers. They're confusing, looking everywhere for me. I sneak up on then and knock one out with a fist to the guts. The second one is startled and just stares at me in confusion, allowing me to nail him with a kick and knock him unconscious in one shot.

I kneel down beside the little girl and ask her, "Are you okay?"

She just stares at me. No, not at me. Her eyes are focused on something behind me.

I whip around to find a gun being aimed at my head.

"Don't try anything," the man aiming a gun at my head says. "Or you die."

"Ha," I say. "You try."

I immediately melt into my shadow. Or, try to melt into my shadow. The man stops me midway by producing a sedative dart from his pocket in a flourish and sticking it in my arm.

I lose my concentration and the world goes all blurry. I get the feeling that the man is grabbing me and leaping into a mirror.

The next thing I know, everything goes black.

"Dude," Ally says, as I creak my eyelids open. "Don't be so rash and reckless next time."

"Where am I?" I croak.

"On the jeep, 120 miles per hour," Ally says.

"Wait what?" I sit up bolt right.

"Next time don't be so impulsive," Christoph chides me from the wheel. "Our location was revealed

"Yeah, we had to spend a lot of time and energy to rescue you from that Emergent member. And he got away," Benjamin chimes in.

"Oh," I say, embarrassed. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Ally says. "Lol but they were probably doing that to bait you out. And you were like: I AM THE HERO WOOHOO and little girl be like: gosh look behind you, you dum dum."
