Phoenix Code

“Nora, can you do what I just said?” Lillian spoke very firmly, and Nora could’ve sworn she heard metal moving against metal in her satchel. Nora merely assumed that she had some knick-knacks in her bag.

“Fine, but you’re explaining what’s going on when we get to your house, okay?”

Nora began to speed up a bit, letting Lillian fall behind. Then, from behind her came a deep thump and something hitting the ground. Nora whirled around and saw Lillian, the hand that was in her bag extended as though she'd just thrown something, and a red thing on the ground, a silver thing buried deep in its chest. The creature was writhing, then exploded to ash, revealing what the silver thing was. It was a blade, of shiny silver and gold metal, that clattered onto the concrete. Lillian stood up straight, walked over casually to the blade, picked it up and slipped it into her satchel, sealing it with the buckles. She turned around, and saw Nora's shocked and terrified face. Lillian's expression, the same calm one as before, vanished into worry, and anger.
