Chapter 82

• I didn't bother swallowing an half suppressed scornful laugh as my mother's eyed widened when Scarlett emerged. It was too satisfying to see her drawing her head back when with just a single chant her rogue soldiers stood paralyzed. I crossed my arms over my upper abdomen as Scarlett smirked, a glint of slight evil in her eyes. When she took a step forward, my mother took two back, eyes darting into the woods as if she were silently communicating with someone.
• "What's wrong Gwen? Not much threatening and chatty now?" my mother in law mocked, tilting her head as if she were listening to something. Then I heard it, the sound of car engines coming our way from behind Gwen.
