LANCE
I watch her lips moving. Her high pitched voice cackling into laughter. But none of it is registering in my brain. I'm having trouble breathing. Anger is surging through my veins. The black liquid is flowing all over my muscles.

For the first time, I saw a change in the burly twins expression. It wasn't anger or annoyance… it was fear.
Other people who have roughly the same size come pouring out in the store. I clench my fist. The shadow swirling in my hand intensified.
"Get him." Meira's orders were cold and clear. I try not to think of any lingering emotion from her. I once fancied you. And this is how you repay me. By betrayal.
