The Catherine Kimbridge Chronicles #4, Retribution (31 page)

Ah hell,
I thought, upon realizing that I didn’t have time to find something else.

In that split second I stepped back from behind the crates and hurled the crowbar toward the light. That is when time decided to slow down. Bertha the Crowbar summersaulted end over end. The man had the blade back. He started to look in my direction. Bertha shattered the orb, throwing everything into darkness and time back to normal. But at the same time I heard the horrible sound of flesh parting before a blade and the woman’s scream and blinding pain brought me to my knees.
Get up!
The male only I could hear demanded.
Get up and run like hell! You need to get the two of you out of here!

Run, little big one!
a new, small sounding voice said.

I felt the pain vanish before a flood of energy. I regained my feet, and ran like mad through the corridor back to the main hall. I could hear steps behind me and knew that I didn’t have time to fetch my boots. All I could do was run. And so, for the second time in a week, I was running, but this time for my life.
