EXCERPT:
“Hardheaded woman! Stay here—let me at least make sure you chose the right train.”
I watched him go and come back in less than three minutes. “All of the passengers are packed into the last two cars, and it looks like it's five guys. Two of them are with the conductors…the other three are guarding the passengers. It doesn’t seem like they plan on stopping anytime soon.”
“Okay, well…I’m going to give them a little hand,” I said.
“Annie, we really shouldn’t be here.”
“Oh, come on. Don’t you miss us working together?” I asked, placing my hands on his chest and staring into his eyes.
He raised an eyebrow. “Are you trying to manipulate me?”
“I wouldn’t say trying, I’m just doing the right thing.” The train hit a curve, and I lost my balance, making me fall into his arms. He felt so good. I held on tighter and kept eye contact.
“What you do to me,” he said, shaking his head. “You win, let’s do it.”
I beamed, “Okay.”
I ran all the way to the front of the train, channeling Beth’s speed. Jumping about twenty feet forward, I stood facing the train. A second later, I braced myself for the impact as the screeching sound sliced my ears. The hot metal indented its way around my hands, pushing me backwards for a while. A minute of this and I felt myself almost being crushed. I had been training with other Luminary powers lately, and right now, tapping into Beth’s speed was just draining me. Crap! I found it hard to focus, I was pretty sure I was going to be flattened by this train soon.
