The room doesn't scare her. The words on the walls are incomprehensible, the stains and bedframes unrecognizable. After all, the wards Elle was kept in were immaculately clean.

Yet this time, when her skin starts sparking, she keeps her eyes closed.

Maybe there is something she's scared of. Or she just needs to think without distraction.

But if she's trying to feign unconsciousness, the sparks are enough to betray her.

"If you remember this," she presses on -

"I really -"




She rests her head back against the bedframe, looking away again.

"I knew. It wasn't you."

(Eventually, anyway.)

Looking around, Ava thinks--

If it takes two demons to subdue Elle effectively when she's conscious, she might want to rustle up a third just to be safe.

She puts her fingers to her head. One of her hands is flecked with spots of blood.

This time, when the smoke rises, it wends out the door-- and down the silent corridor.

Elle stays still.

Finally, the sparks begin to dissipate, even if they don't go out entirely.

(She doesn't really want to have her other arm slashed, too.)

Ugh, that last demon's giving her a major headache. She'd kill for a nap.


Of course, as far as that's concerned ...
