No Doubt!
As Zed moved to open Section IV, Kirstie's mind screamed with Lord Harley's command.
"Stop him!"
Kirstie's eyes squinted, and the flames on her body erupted. Like a burning star, she shot past Rebecca and instantly appeared next to Zed to crush him.
"No!" Rebecca followed behind to stop her.
~THUMP~
Suddenly, Kirstie's hand of flames stopped, and her heart started thumping loudly. A sense of fear and crisis swelled up within her, and she moved her eyes to the door of Section IV.
It was opening, slowly, in fact, very slowly, but it was opening!
She has failed!!
Fumes of violet hue escaped from the opening and grazed past the Alphas like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
Rebecca froze in her place. Despite living for so long and gaining such power, terror overtook her.
Her instincts were screaming like crazy, telling her to move.
But she couldn't.
