Chapter 19: Rescued

REM'S POV

Bleeding and hazy from the pain, Rem raised their head, sure they'd misheard. There was no way Serine had been foolish enough to come back for them. With a groan, they raised their head at the second shout and saw her.

"Serine," they whispered. Any more words were cut off by coughing and they struggled to speak and gave up.

The six Hunters who had been pursuing them all turned toward the greater threat that Serine presented and drew their weapons. The two at the front of the group took a step toward Serine but stopped short, their feet still in the air. They turned toward each other, faces blank, and dropped their weapons.

"What the hell are you doing?" demanded a female Hunter.

Rather than answer her, the two Hunters dropped to the ground, pale and possibly not breathing.

Serine stepped closer, her eyes closed still, and the next two Hunters' faces went blank.

Swearing, the female Hunter and her partner raised their weapons.
