'Reapers are real!?' Her eyes widened with the thought. 'Of course, I'm such an idiot. If I could get a scream out, Ayana and Lucas will hear me. We can't be that far away. Maybe a couple of streets.'
Mifa felt Marcus move his fingers against her lips and sighed. 'Well, here goes nothing.'
Opening her mouth, she grabbed the nearest finger and bit down as hard as she could. The curse spirit pulled his hand back for a second. That was all she needed to voice the scream that had been trapped in her throat since Marcus had grabbed her. Unfortunately, the act of defiance was cut short. Ribs gave way under the beast's strength and the hand across her mouth was replaced. He laughed evilly.
"I think I'm going to keep you for a while. Such spirit."
"You're wrong." Shadows elongated in the space between buildings. Power crackled and snapped along the air as everyone looked to the mouth of the alley to see Lucas.
