Leonel's fury peaked as he finally looked back.
Monet felt a shock to her soul. It was like something had driven a spear right into it, and fear crept up her spine, almost collapsing her to the ground.
It was at that moment that a second streaking light appeared. Or, rather… a streaking darkness.
"STOP! STOP!"
