My fainting spell didn't last long, at least I don't think it did. It seemed like I just passed out when I blinked my way awake again and we were running once more. This time to the sound of excited giggling. Wait, Viviana was enjoying this? A little too much, I was thinking, irritation now making it through my dazed reawakening.
"Suckers," she muttered under her breath, skidding to a stop at the door of her car. I was able to see the crowd of people fighting the large, black froth of her power-my power, the thief- holding them back while a huge man loomed in the forefront, his shining, beet red face thick with fat.
"I'll find you, Viviana!" His voice boomed as she slammed the door to the car, turning the key, the engine roaring to life. His words reached even through glass and steel and the hum of her exit. "And you'll pay for what you've done!"
She barked a laugh that told me she couldn't care less about his threat.
