She could feel it creeping up her ankle and legs. It was hardening, making it impossible for her to move. A laugh sounded as it went higher.
“Sorry Devin but things must be done. bạn must be taken out of the picture.”
“What did I do, Amber?!”
“You betrayed me! bạn left Sensai, bạn lấy trộm, đánh cắp BACK your Angel's light, and bạn risked everything for one human! That betrayal will never be forgiven!”
“Amber...I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt bạn but I had to save him! He was my brother!”
“You think apologizing will help?! No! It's time bạn payed the price!”
“What do bạn plan to do when I'm gone?”
“Infiltrate. Sensai taught us that. So I'll play pretend.”
“They'll never believe you! They know bạn Amber!”
The crystal was up to her neck now.
“Oh I know. That's why I'll look like you.”
“No!”
“Oh yes. I told bạn everything was mine and would be!”
Amber touched the stolen chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm on her neck.
“Goodbye Devin.”
“No!”
Devin sat up, panting. She looked around and took a deep breath. She was safe. It took a few phút to regain her composure.
“Oh that was horrible.”
Devin slipped out of giường and over to her cabinet of herbs and potions. She pulled out a mix of cinnamon and vanilla bean, heating up some water. She put the mix in, feeling relaxed bởi the scent. She sat on the couch, feet pulled up. She drank the soothing mixture, a full moon hiển thị through her window. She heard a knocking sound and waited a few minutes.
It didn't sound again. Devin went to the door and opened it. The mug spilled from her hand, crashing over the floor. A crystallized rose sat in front of her door. A note was attached to it. Say goodbye to your little friends, my Crystal Angel. I'm coming for you.

"So you're just going to let him leave to D.C.?" Lexi stared at her older brother.
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy bạn idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.
"He won't kill the President Lexi, stop daydreaming."
"Then bạn obviously don't know him."
"Actually I do, but bạn don't. Dad is going to D.C. for a meeting with House of Representatives, and the President to talk about what was stolen from the Navy." Jaime put his hands in his pockets, staring and his little sister.
"And what makes bạn think he won't go crazy?"
"Nudge will keep him under control. Trust me." Lexi almost dropped the phone that was in her hand.
"Nudge? I thought she retired."
"Nope, and Jack will be with her. Things will be fine." Jaime opened his wings an soared upwards. "You coming trang chủ hoặc what?" Lexi sighed and followed him.
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy bạn idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."

"I'm trying to find a present for Holly, but have no idea—hey!"
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm a fiery red-head, cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly is a sexy blonde."
Sam smirked. "You find cây ô rô, hoa huệ, holly sexy?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Barbara's blue eyes widened. "I mean, bạn see her as—that is to say that from the male perspective—"
Sam nodded in a "go ahead" gesture, but the Gothamite just glared at him.
"Go to hell, Grant."
"Someone's not happy."
Barbara hid her face behind the magazine.
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
