As I came to a painful stop at the bottom of the steps, the battle around me continued to rage on. Luke fell beside me, motionless after his tumble down the stairs. I slowly pushed myself up to my hands and knees and looked up to see that the Luna was walking toward me.

And behind her, Lori and Jessica were suspended in the air by magic.

"Let them go!" I growled.

The Luna just laughed. "You and your little friends are putting up quite the fight," she said, her voice low and almost sultry sounding. "It's such a shame that I can end all of their lives with a single snap." She raised her hand and twisted her wrist. The battlefield fell silent. I looked up frantically to see that all of my friends and recruits, and even the rogues, were frozen in time. Behind me, Enzo stood frozen as well. He was still in his wolf form, and was stalking toward the Luna with his teeth bared. Now, the only things moving were his eyes.

"What have you done?" I asked, scrambling to my feet. "Why are you doing this?"

"Don't you know already?" the Luna said, walking further down the steps to come face to face with me. "Do I really need to explain it again?"

I shook my head, trying to stay strong beneath the piercing gaze of her red eyes. "You won't get away with this," I whispered. "Let my friends go, or I'll kill you." I pulled the knife out of my boot that I had been hiding and brandished it, pointing it at the Luna's face. But she just laughed again and swatted it away with an unexpected amount of force, causing it to clatter to the ground. My hand and wrist rang out in searing pain where she had hit

Luna slowly turned back to face me. There was a sick, twisted smile on her face as the screaming around us continued. "You changed your mind, then?" she said, looking down on me from where she stood on the steps. Her all-white, calm appearance stood in stark contrast against the pain and agony around us.
