“Get fucked,”I countered.
I called to my powers, about to rein merry hell upon these gas mask idiots.
Nothing happened, the door to my engine firmly shut against me.
“You’re in good hands,”Ember said.“My hands.”
Oh my God.“How?”I asked sharply.
“None of your business.”
I felt her inside me, hot fingers turning the crank, in full command over every aspect of my being. The black smoke had altered me, opening a back door into the engine room, and those humans helped bolster it.
Well, so my theory went.
“Release me!”I yelled.
“Keep your voice down, key. It will soon be over.”
Revulsion tested my gag reflex.“For you,”I retorted.
No comeback from the noxious insect.
“Well?”I huffed.
“Be quiet.”
“Why? Trying to concentrate?”
No answer.
So, I decided to sing a nursery rhyme in a terrible pitch, my voice making nails on a chalk board sound like Pavarotti.
“Enough!”she hollered.
Interesting. Her command failed to stop me.
I was definitely getting on her nerves, cranking up the volume to push her to the limit.
“Will you shut the fuck up?”she spat.
My body slammed to a stop, turning upside down. Her grip on me slipped, giving me an in. A surge of wicked elation brought fire to my hands. I flipped myself upright.
Yes,Dark Me murmured.
I unleashed a torrent of fire down on the humans. The flames burned big and fast, engulfing the enchanters within seconds.
“No!”Ember wailed, trying to regain control.
“Hands off.”
My crank wasn’t for the likes of her greasy fingers.
The ring cooled, the effects of the black smoke fading.
“I win,”I returned.“I fucking win!”
Rabid fury joined the thrill of smacking her down, needing an outlet. Burning those humans to death was only the appetizer. Now for the main course.
