Chapter 10

Ariette and I slowly crept toward the front of the bank once more. We stayed low to the ground and dropped nearly flat as soon as we got to the big glass doors. Then we crawled through the huge hole that I had made when I shot out the glass panels during our first escape. I went first and checked to see if the coast was clear before I waved Ariette in.

In the few minutes we had been outside after the woman’s rescue, the troll had retreated somewhere inside the bank. It was nowhere to be seen.

“I don’t see it anywhere,” Ariette whispered from behind me. “Where do you think it went?”

I shrugged as I looked around the lobby. Sweat slid down my temples, and my shirt was already damp and stuck to my spine and under my arms. Somehow, this silence was more fear-inducing than the troll roaring or throwing desks at us.

My eyes scanned the room for any movement, and then I noticed that behind the teller stands was a huge silver vault door.

And it was wide open.

“That thing’s smarter than we gave it credit for,” I muttered to Ariette as I motioned toward the vault with my chin.

She followed my gaze, and I watched her eyes widen as she took in the open vault.

“It cracked the lock on the safe,” she whispered back to me, and I nodded in agreement.

“What?” Kalista asked in our ears, and I could practically see her puzzled frown. “How the hell did it do that?”

“Don’t know,” I replied quietly. “We’re going to go check it out.”

“Be careful,” Kalista muttered.

“Careful is my middle name,” I joked to try to distract myself from my racing pulse.

I reloaded my gun with a new magazine as Ariette unsheathed her sword, and as the blade caught the light, I stared at it in awe for a moment.

It was a pure white, the kind of white I imagined heaven would look like, and it glinted brilliantly. Elven swords were the most beautiful weapons I had ever seen.

Beautiful… but deadly, and I was counting on the latter quality to help us out right now.

We stayed low to the ground as we came up to the teller stands. And I held up three fingers as I mouthed, “One, two, th--.”

Suddenly I heard a strange sound come from the other side of the teller stands. Something pattered across the tile floor, and by the level of noise, I guessed it was a lot of somethings. Then I heard a high pitched chattering in a strange language that wasn’t Elvish or English. I glanced over at Ariette, and I saw that her eyes were as wide as saucers. Immense confusion swam through those eyes before the warrior slowly rose and peeked over the wooden wall that we rested against.

“Oh man,” she breathed before she shot backward and readied her sword, “we’ve got a lot of company here, HC!”

I jumped to my feet and readied my gun as I swung around to face the peculiar sound.
