Chapter Fifteen

They reached the secure room in the same moment that the heavy round door swung open.

It’s like a bank vault in a fifties movie. Bizarre.

The five enemies present turned to face them. Diana categorized them instantly based on body language. Two moved to protect the other two, and that pair drifted toward the central figure in the arrangement. The leader, seconds in command, and their seconds. She shouted, “Down on the floor—now!”

They didn’t comply, of course.

They never do. A girl can dream, right?

Replicating their pattern from the previous room, Cara went left, and Diana cut right, while Rath attacked down the middle. The leader stepped into the vault and vanished from sight. His two lieutenants blocked access to whatever was inside and raised their wands at the seven-foot troll who bore down on them with cold intent. Diana pulled the trigger of her rifle until it clicked empty. She hoped for a lucky shot on the wizard on her side and sighed when the bullets bounced harmlessly away. While she’d expected a shield, it would have been nice for her not to be right for once.

Shadow magic reached for her in the form of waving tentacles that emerged from the wizard’s wand. She threw herself to the side in a frantic evasive maneuver and dipped her head to avoid the one aimed at it. The barbed spikes along it sent the reality of their murderous intent home.

Shit. These bastards are tougher than the others were.

She clicked the release strap for her rifle and dropped the weapon behind her. It was useless now.

The mage dispatched a continuous flow of tendrils to grasp her. Fear and anger surged within at the memory of being trapped by a similar attack. The emotions emerged from her hand as a shuddering bolt of force that she dragged in a line across the wizard’s body. He staggered at the unexpected series of blows, and his spell faltered. She rocketed forward again and flicked her left fingers to knock his wand free, but he held on stubbornly and whipped it in her direction.

The dark tentacles uncoiled again. This time, they were narrow and cylindrical and entwined themselves into a thick bar. She avoided it with a backspin to the right and leapt at the wizard. Diana registered two things in mid-flight. The first was the broad grin that stretched across her adversary’s face. The second was the short wand in his off-hand that she hadn’t seen. It fired a thin cone of shadow directly at her heart.
