Emily's pov

Does it seriously take this long to turn thirty people into undead slaves? All she does is stab them in the guts and whisper something their ears.

I suspect that she is entertained by this.

Compass, Boulder, and Flame were celebrating our victory. Some victory, we didn't even fight.

A shadow flew across the floor. Not like with wings or anything but like it jumped from one exposed steel girder thing to another. They were supposed to make the bank look rustic but ended up making it look unfinished.

I pulled energy from Flame, and blasted the spot where I saw the shadow go. There was a shout from Flame as his flames disappeared. Then there was a cry of pain, that I'm pretty sure came from Flame. Oops, I left him unprotected. In more ways than one.

There was a flash of light where I had blasted. Hmm. That was new.

I was attacked from behind.
