“Whatever you’re going to do, do it
quickly.” Alana was helping the young woman to her feet.
“You two, run.” I didn’t take my
eyes off of Venom. “Get upstairs, get to Doug. I’ll be right behind you.”
Alana didn’t argue with me. She
looked at the young woman, gave her a once over. “Are you okay to run?”
The woman nodded.
“You got a name?” I asked the young
woman.
“Missy.” Then the young woman ran
over, and kissed me on the cheek. “An angel’s kiss for luck.”
Alana and Missy took off, running
towards the stairs, past the sea of howling vipers. It was just me, Venom and
the growing ball of energy building up in the palm of my hand. It was growing
brighter and brighter.
“Release it by flexing your
fingers,” said Juktha.
I did as I was told, and just in
time. Venom was less than five feet away, and closing quickly. The burst of
energy expanded, turning from a ball into a wall of pure light.
“No!” Venom screamed. “I can’t die
this easily! I am to powerful. I am…”
His body exploded into a ball of
twisting, writhing green flame.
