'Pardon me, but if you wish, I can take care of this problem?'
'Take care how?' Cali replied, watching Anemis with barely veiled curiosity.
The summoned entity didn't answer her, though. Instead, its eyes remained fixated on mine. 'Permission to act?'
I gestured at the oblivious, stumbling students. 'If you think you can save them, sure.'
Disguised behind Vampyric teeth, Anemis grinned slightly; then, all eight students became paralysed. The blood energy in their veins, seemingly betraying them, then they passed out on the spot.
Cali approached their rigid, upright bodies first and pressed her ear against the closest one's chest. 'Weird.'
'Are they dead?' Asher queried.
'No,' Anemis answered for them both. 'Although they are immobilised. This way, the Faeries can't hope to control them again.'
I sighed. 'Portal to Brilling North Hospital car park.'
