**ADDIE'S POV**
The fireball that Fallida had just flung at me seemed as if it were moving in slow motion. I was still wondering what it was that had been going through the woman's mind. I mean, how in the world did she think that this was a good idea? Why was she trying to attack me in a room that was literally surrounded by men and women that were paid to protect me? That was, in my opinion, the pinnacle of stupidity. And the problem was, these people probably all thought that they were better than me and would all act like this if I didn't put an end to that way of thinking. I knew what I needed to do, I had known it the moment that I saw her start to cast her magic in my direction.
