Resurrection
Chantelle's hand was abruptly stopped before she managed to touch the corpse of the Grand Meister.
"What?" she said, drawing back a little. She was surprised and slightly shocked. Her heartbeat had elevated because of his sudden words.
She eyed Alec, who had reached out to grab her, rather unhappily.
The other man had not been paying attention to her at all, but now he suddenly stopped her? What did he think he was doing, exactly?
She didn't understand what he meant by this.
Alec made sure that the idiot who was going to so carelessly touch the corpse wasn't going to continue her action and let go, resisting the urge to dust off his hands. She was dusty from head to toe and looked rather sorry.
"Don't touch the corpse," he said with as much patience as he could. "There's an array on it that will activate once you do."
