The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0273

It’s tiring work, trying to boost each other’s gifts, but it’s working and we’re getting better at it by the end of our training time. It’s about that time that I hear Liam talking to Dustin about Sarah having a real target. I know immediately that Liam plans to use himself as her real–life target.

He feels confident in his ability to heal but I’m not feeling great about him getting stabbed. I watch as Dustin gets Sarah ready in an attack stance and then as Cyran lunges at her. Sarah’s response is instantaneous. It’s a reflex response, she throws the knife at Cyran. I can see the trajectory of the knife and there is no way he can move fast enough to not get hit. It’s my instinct, I can’t stop it. Alessia pushes me to jump in front of Cyran and grab the knife.

It’s a bit like a movie. I grab the knife between my hands, just before it sinks into my chest. I stand there for a moment, shocked that it actually worked. Then Liam has shifted and is yelling at me.

“Angel!” He grabs the knife out of my hands. “I thought we agreed that you would never put yourself in between me and danger again.” He tosses the knife on the ground and grabs me by the shoulders, shaking me.
