"Keep running!" Inspector John shouted, grabbing my arm, and pulling me back up on my feet. I looked for Aoife in a panic. Where was she? Was she ok?
I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest. Behind us, the chopper was up in flames. Some of the debris from the explosion had landed all the way in the woods. And amidst all the chaos, I noticed Aoife shouting my name. The explosion had sent her towards the settlement.
Seeing her alive and fairly unharmed, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry!" She shouted, pointing at the settlement.
I didn't hesitate, and neither did Inspector John. As we neared the gate, Aoife had already arrived there. She glanced behind us, and her eyes widened.
I gulped. This familiar, yet also foreign sensation began to surface.
"Get down!" I shouted all of a sudden, sensing something large behind me. Like… a large amount of power. Magic.
