We are running; running towards the fence like all hell is about to break loose. And very soon, it does. I glance behind me just in time to see Fauna scaling the window, snatching a vial from her belt loop and downing it in one single gulp. My eyes widen and I stagger for a split second, fear and confusion almost knocking me off my feet. She just drank the contents of the vial —the said contents that contain unimaginable black magic which corrupts. Trepidation twists in my stomach like a snake. Dmitri grabs my hand and together, we bolt to the fence. It’s a feet away. It’s inches away. Something crashes into the brick wall with an ear-splitting rumble; bulldozing a hole through it, causing debris and dust to explode everywhere. We’re hurled back by the sheer force of the impact.
