Nicolette and Ruby joined me, and we stood over the creature, each of us placing our left foot atop its barrel-like belly.
"We are some badass bitches," Nicolette said, and the three of us laughed. "I'll get started on those outfits first chance I get."
The attack had been a welcome release from the pressures of the day. It allowed us to release our anger and aggression. We had, at least for the moment, saved the academy from another attack. I sniffed the air again to make sure there were no other Sarchi in the area. I doubted they had been drawn here intentionally by Edius. In fact, the creatures would not play sides with people not from the underworld.
We grabbed our packs and turned when the clapping began, the guys standing near one of the buildings watching us, three young, hot women fighting evil.
