Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXVqgCzhG
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzZFAx6gpC
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRgl0ed4Sh
'I don't believe that.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMfd4vPlLv
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWk4DniofF
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEp2bWAZq0
'Christine. Listen to me. You're special. You're the most powerful of all of us. And you can still join us. You can be reborn as part of Floor Twelve Minus.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctRgYOmeDI
The woman cried. She had nothing left - her job was gone, she had no family, and the struggle had drained all the life out of her.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkmbQWB79
With a shaking breath: 'No.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMBAFx6vb
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu32FQQd0Tb
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gRRIpvQA
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFPmTG2eIy
Christine slapped him. 'I don't know who you're talking about. But he sounds like a man who does not deserve to be spoken about like that.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMipl7mUTk
She turned to face the rubble.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf2FGadMJs
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg8uxUCQLX
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRCMWGyv5Z
'They're already dead!'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3z8Wm3Ogs
Christine stared on at the pile of concrete and glass, a face that aged within just a few days carved into a look of determination. 'That's not going to stop me.'665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtoCgqgdAR
With a strenuous roar, she lifted her hands and the pieces of the WestGo building slowly began rolling to the center of the ruin, crashing against each other as the service workers ran around in alarm.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc8srWco5L
'Aaaaaaaaaargh!' The pieces were floating now, dripping dust and stones onto the bodies beneath, until they, too, rose into the sky, like puppets suspended by the strings of heaven.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyIhmmpYH5
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGhb31EC31
There were groans as pieces of steel bent, a flurry of activity as discarded bolts and supports on the ground spun into the air, shards of glass shooting up like a flock of shimmering doves, tinkling as they gathered into radially cracked panes.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL5WeNh1ug
Christine's veins were pulsing, an overflow of energy pouring from the ground through her body, ripples of the Void sending undulations through the air.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUrO4DvlF
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkRvimmZ8
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAkPGZCIJ0
Slowly, heavily, they began spinning in the air, some rising, some falling, all slowly being drawn into the center like a giant suspended centrifuge, crashes of smoke and dust, screams of exclamation from the people watching below as it began taking on a shape, a triangular prism reaching up into the sky -665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq52aQxlUFD
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydLg5yDrb
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMQ5mgR5j
Hughes looked on in amazement - Christine had revived them all. Not just one human, but thousands of actual people. Back on earth to feel the warmth of a loved one's embrace, back on earth to cry and smile -665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9HN6uZZfa
He didn't even try to fight it. He just turned back to the empty space in front of him, and in a daze, walked over to the object on the ground.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hdMheryFP
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ND6rALhiT
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSef7iQ3SH
Bound by the lives she saved.
