Nina's POV
The smoke closed in, twisting and coiling around me, blocking everything else out, crushing me.
"EDDIE!" I screamed out in desperation.
In a moment the smoke was gone, the blue shimmer was back, and Eddie stood in front of me, his face plastered with disbelief. I pulled myself up, throwing out my hands, and together we moved forward, slowly pushing the girl of fire away, back towards the room.
The doorway sealed.
"What the hell?!" Eddie yelled, staring at his hands as he stumbled backwards. "What was that!? What just happened? What the hell did I do!?"
"Eddie, calm down." I said.
"What is going on? What are you even doing here? How did you get here?!" He was starting to hyperventilate.
"Eddie, calm down!" I screamed at him.
He stopped, staring at me in disbelief.
"Do you want us all to be killed!?"I yelled.
Eddie looked back to the girl of fire trapped behind the sealed door.
"T-th-that's Ammit. Ammit is h-he-here. Oh god. Oh god. Nina what do we do?!"
"I don't know!"
He started pacing back and forth, running his hands through his hair. "That isn't going to hold her long."
"I know."
"I mean...she's like a god!"
"I know, Eddie."
"She is going to kill us!"
"I know, Eddie!" I snapped at him.
"What do we do?" He asked again.
"Shut up! I'm thinking!" I yelled.
But my mind was blank.
"Where's Fabian?" I finally asked.
"Nina, this really isn't the best time for a reunion..."
"Just tell me where he is! He'll know what to do." I yelled back.
"Nina?" A familiar voice sounded from the next room.
I whirled around, finding Fabian standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
"Nina!"
He took a step forward, then saw the state we were in. The burned out room, Patricia, dying on the ground at the feet of the young African American woman, Eddie and I, both covered in blood. His smile faded.
"Help us." I said on the verge of tears.
He just stood there, staring at us.
"Fabian. Please."
He took a sharp, still not taking his eyes off us.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it.
He silently looked around the hall once more, then finally spoke.
"What. The. Fuck."
