Lucia held up her good hand to release another blast of flames. The girl interlinked her fingers with Lucia. The fire extinguished. Lucia tried to pull away. The demon grabbed Lucia by the scruff of her neck. Lucia winced.

Lucia inhaled deeply. All she could feel was the fear and anger of her situation. She pushed down her urge to run and tried to concentrate on her mana. The flames began to encase her hand.
"Oh?" Soir smiled. "That doesn't sound like what I want to hear." She began to tighten her grip. Lucia felt a pop in her hand.
