Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUIkaBxhW5
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTlYRN4KHd
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HfRau0OGI
'I don't believe that.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErwNnswZDj
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1jAIII3vH
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2S3oEELV
'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.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAonycfrpNW
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiVDQy1Qn
With a shaking breath: 'No.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDOpKkvLch
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCIHYzSY0U
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UM405qRrh
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaVxIilhDE
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.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndJrKzBy2
She turned to face the rubble.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrEK2sT4Cn
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8p27gnWUt
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjxsGpCdCP
'They're already dead!'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTN7d1HVg
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.'666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5u5BD0vWq
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiolQs1Co0L
'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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0DXSabtR
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6MeQCGjfi
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOGm5ivRU
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrBB4DWQw
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJkWQs6mi
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1rPDxg9LV
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 -666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZB4rmjvTV
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegzsAcdmF5
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Z2jKPhub
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 -666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcQCcx715b
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNfgxJoUwf
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZ3leacNn
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeCuarbFy0
Bound by the lives she saved.
