âWhat the hell, Caden?â the guy on my left hisses. âTurn the lights back on. This isnât funny.â
The ripping of Velcro sounds in the dark. âIt wasnât me, you idiot. Stop freaking out,â Caden says as a beam from his flashlight illuminates the small space. He clears the area, then turns to where Iâm standing between his teammates. His gaze lands on me, full of loathing. âDonât try to pull any shit like you did upstairs. Iâll sedate your ass before we throw you in the pit.â
âI wouldnât be worried about me right now, Caden. You have bigger problems around the corner.â
Caden rolls his eyes and turns around, taking point to lead us out of the elevator corridor. We round the corner, the halo of light landing on Cleo, Lyza, and Zander. I shouldâve known heâd be down here. Heâs standing between Cleo and Lyza. Actually, heâs holding Cleo back from Lyza. Damn, Whatever Lyza did to Cleo, it mustâve been bad. My girl looks like she has something on her. I canât tell what it is, but itâs encasing her whole body.
Wait a second. Itâs water. Of course itâs water. Why would it be anything else?
Lyza lifts her arms; bolts of lightning arc around the hallway. They donât seem to be aimed at anyone in particular, making the hall look like a plasma orb with Lyza at the center. But that wonât last long. This is about to hurt really fucking bad.
A buzz vibrates through the hallway at the same time as Iâm hit with an electrical current. It seizes my whole body, tensing each of my muscles. My eyes clench shut and I grit my teeth against the pain. No matter how hard I try, I canât pull more air into my lungs, they just wonât expand.
Finally, she lets go, releasing us from her grip. I suck a furious breath, my lungs burning. Did she hit Cleo with that blast too? Can she even pick and choose who she hits with it? I can only imagine the damage done to Cleo with the water surrounding her the way it was.
âHoly fuck,â the guy on my right says. âWhat the hell was that?â
âFucking elementals,â Caden says. âThey have more power than anyone deserves.â
Lyza and Cleoâs heads turn, gazes like daggers, cutting right to him. Zander looks over his shoulder, snarling as he sees me. Cleo moves to shove past him, but he steps into her, trying to block her.
I move to shake the guards off me but they tighten their grip. âKnock it off,â Ryan warns. âWe told you not to start shit down here.â
âOh shit, dude,â the guy on my right says, like heâs just had an epiphany. âI heard about this. One of the other guys was telling me about how this traitor not only left AGAS to fight for elementals, but started fucking one too. Thatâs his whore over there.â
My vision clouds with red. Fucking shit talker, calling my girl a fucking whoreâIâm going to find out who the hell started that rumor and enjoy beating the hell out of them.
