Despite Vayne's promise to return promptly, the hunter didn't return for hours, causing Fiora to worry, and she wasn't the only one. Irelia watched her as she paced back and forth in the small basement while Akali tried to ignore her. Jinx seemed indifferent.

"Where is she?" Irelia broke the silence. "It shouldn't have taken that long."

"I don't know," Fiora responded. "She won't answer any of my calls," she added, trying desperately how hurt she was because of that.

"We shouldn't have let her leave," Akali pointed out. "It's dangerous out there."

"Don't me ridiculous, Vayne can handle herself perfectly," Irelia retorted. "Maybe she left willingly."

Her words hurt Fiora even more. Would Vayne leave her behind like that after everything they had gone through? After everything they had shared? The dueler knew that Shauna felt guilty but she couldn't imagine going that far, right? What would be the purpose of leaving anyway? Would it change anything? Probably not.

"Vayne wouldn't leave like that," Fiora argued. "Something must have happened, I can't explain it otherwise." She paused for a moment. "I'll go look for her."

Irelia quickly walked up to her, grabbing her arm before Fiora could make a move. "Are you out of your mind?" she hissed. "You can't just go out there looking for her, it's suicide! She abandoned you, get over yourself!"

Fiora pulled her arm away from Irelia's grip. "You don't know that," she replied. "And I'm not going to take permission from you nor ask you to help me find her either."

"So what? Are you so foolish to believe that you can find Vayne in such a big city like Piltover without any help or clues?" Irelia inquired.

"I need to at least try," Fiora shrugged. She realized that Irelia did have a point. And if she was any right, if Vayne had vanished on purpose, it would be impossible to find her. When the hunter wanted to be unfounded, she remained as such.

"You don't have to do this on your own," Irelia said eventually. "We'll help you."

"You seriously don't have to-"

"Actually, yes we do." Akali spoke for the first time. "We are bound on the same fate, all of us. If we don't help one another, we are doomed. Vayne could be in danger for all we know. I'd hate it if something like that happened to Irelia or Jinx."

"Agreed!" The Loose Cannon grinned. "Plus, I'm super bored. This should be fun!"

"I can't thank you enough," said Fiora gratefully. "Vayne will never hear the end of it once we find her for causing us so much trouble."

"Alright, where should we start?" Akali asked.

"Let's search the area and if we don't find her, we'll proceed elsewhere," Irelia suggested.

Before they could agree to anything, Fiora received a message from no one else but Vayne herself! She felt relief washing over her but only momentarily. She opened it frantically and read the quick message on the inside of her mask. Relief was replaced by fear.

"I know where Vayne is," she announced.

"How?" Akali asked in surprise.

"She just sent me a message," Fiora explained, trying to keep her cool. "But we'll need to find a vehicle because it's outside of Piltover."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that!" Jinx exclaimed. "I know where to get us a vehicle?"

"You do?" Fiora asked in disbelief.

"You'll have to trust me on that one." Jinx winked at her.

Fiora had a hard time believing her but Irelia placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"She might be a little bit crazy but you can trust her word," she assured her.

"Alright, then." Fiora nodded. "Go fetch us a vehicle then. We need to hurry."

Jinx jumped around in excitement before exiting the basement to find the promised vehicle. Fiora only hoped she wouldn't take too long.

"How the hell did Vayne end up outside Piltover?" Akali wondered out loud.

Fiora shook her head. "If it's what I assume it is, I'm going to kill her once we save her."

"She's in danger then," Irelia pointed out.

"Of course she is! I don't know what she was even thinking!" Fiora expressed her frustration, running a hand through her silver hair. "I've known her for so long and she's never done anything as stupid and reckless as this. I can't understand her sometimes."

"Vayne is a complex personality. I doubt you'll ever be able to understand completely," Irelia pointed out. "I'm pretty convinced that she had a really good reason to do whatever she did tonight. I don't know her that well but she never does anything without a good reason."

Fiora shook her head. "If she got herself in trouble for me, I'm going to kill her before the PROJECT corporation does," she growled.

They waited for Jinx in silence. There were a million thoughts going through Fiora's mind, trying to analyze Vayne's intentions, trying to figure out a way to get her out from whatever situation she had gotten herself into. A sudden honk from outside made them all jump.

"I'll check if that's indeed Jinx," said Akali as she approached the door. She went outside and returned only seconds later. "Come on!" She motioned at Irelia and Fiora to follow her outside.

There was a white van parked outside, waiting for them with Jinx on the driver seat. Fiora took the seat next to her and Irelia with Akali went behind. Once the back doors shut close, Jinx accelerated.

"Where did you find this?" Irelia asked.

Jinx flashed her a smile through the mirror. "Somewhere." She winked. "Don't worry, this babe will take us everywhere we want."

"You truly are Vi's sister," Fiora mattered to herself.

It turned out that letting Jinx drive wasn't such a good idea. She was a completely reckless driver and the amount of times she had to make a difficult maneuver to avoid an oncoming vehicle were countless. Fiora was worried that if they kept it like that, it was almost certain that the police would come after them eventually.

"Can you just drive like a normal person?" she hissed at the gunman. She only received a mischievous grin.

"If we don't end up dying in PROJECT'S hands, we sure as hell will in here," Akali murmured.

With Fiora's instructions, they drove outside Piltover, leaving the city behind as they entered the countryside. Fiora remembered the first time she had drove out there, again for the exact same purpose. Although, the circumstances had been different then. That place, Norman Rose's mansion, only held more questions than answers for her. She wasn't sure how she felt about returning back there, but she was certain it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

As they grew closer to the mansion, she asked Jinx to turn off the van's lights and pull over to the side.

"We still got two kilometers until we reach the place," the Loose Cannon complained.

"That place is a fucking fortress. If they notice us approaching, we've got no chance," Fiora explained as she exited the vehicle, shutting the door behind them.

The four PROJECTS moved in the darkness carefully. Only thing that could be seen was their shadows. After a while, they could see the enormous mansion standing tall in the middle of nowhere, in between a couple of hills. Fiora hadn't lied when she claimed the place was a fortress; there were guards literally everywhere. They needed to be extra careful in order to approach the house. They came close to the bush fence and scanned the area.

"How are we going to find Vayne in here? This place is huge," Akali asked.

"I might known where they're holding her," Fiora replied. "There's a secret basement under the mansion but it can only be accessed through the building. Plus, there is a Program guarding the place. It won't be easy to get there."

"What's the plan then?" Irelia asked.

"Plan? We don't need a plan!" Jinx proclaimed. "I say we walk in and blow everything up!"

"That's a terrible idea," Irelia argued. "There are too many guards. And even if we managed to get rid of all of them, there's a chance they might harm Vayne to stop us. We can't afford that."

"I have to agree with Irelia on that one," Akali agreed.

"I agree that we need to ensure Vayne's safety first but Jinx's idea isn't terrible," said Fiora.

"See? Someone is finally seeing my potential!" Jinx grinned.

"What do you mean?" Irelia asked, ignoring Jinx.

"None of us is exceptionally good at being stealthy, except maybe Akali. So sneaking inside is out of the cards. We should exploit everyone's abilities," Fiora explained. "For example, Jinx is really good at blowing things up, right? Irelia could give her hand and protect Jinx from whoever tries to stop her. In the meantime, Akali and I could sneak inside. I can take care of that Program Camille while Akali gets to Vayne at the basement."

"It's not a terrible plan," Akali said sceptical. "But what about getting out? Surely, getting inside is one problem but what happens afterwards?"

"I say we leave that to Jinx too. One last blast should be enough to guarantee us enough time to escape," Irelia suggested.

Jinx had to contain a scream. "This is the best night ever! I wish Vi was here, though. Her and I could wreck the ultimate chaos!"

"As much as I agree with that statement, Vi is better not be seen around here since it's not safe," Fiora said. "Alright, do we all agree on this plan?"

"It's reckless and extremely dangerous but we don't have an other choice." Irelia sighed.

"Let's do this then." Akali slammed her fist on her other open palm.


Fiora and Akali awaited patiently behind the bushes. Fiora only hoped this plan would work because it was their only chance.

Suddenly an explosion from the front side of the yard alerted the guards. The front gate had been blasted open and the guards that had been around there had either been killed or knocked out. In the meantime, Jinx walked inside confidently with her guns ready and a smirk on her face. The guards had been caught off guard by the sudden explosion but not for too long. Soon, most of them run on the front side to face Jinx.

The Loose Cannon grinned mischievously. "It's showtime," she spoke to herself before chaos erupted.

Akali motioned at Fiora to follow her. They walked through the bushes and then proceeded towards the mansion in a crouching position. They could listen to Jinx's hysterical laughter right behind them and the groans of the guards.

Once they reached the mansion, Akali carefully looked around before walking towards the nearest window. Breaking in was a piece of cake for her. She pushed it open and jumped inside. Fiora looked around before mimicking her. She gave one last glance at Jinx who seemed to be having the time of her life. Irelia fought alongside her, deflecting most of the bullets coming their way with her blades. Then, she leaned inside.

The dueler and the assassin found themselves inside a dining room. There was a long oak table in the middle of the room with chairs surrounding it. On the sides, there was luxurious furniture where plates and glasses were stored in display through the glass doors. There were also a couple of rare plants in the corners of the dinning room for decoration. The velvet curtains matched with the thick carpet.

As much as Fiora would love to stand there and appreciate the luxury of the place, they had a mission to accomplish. Her and Akali moved carefully towards the door when they heard it click.

"Shit," the assassin cursed. There was no time to hide properly. They're only choice was to take out whoever would make the mistake to walk inside.

The door opened and a woman stepped in. Upon taking notice of the two PROJECTS sneaking in, she let out a scream. Akali prepared to strike when Fiora suddenly stopped her.

"Wait!" she screeched, holding Akali's arm still.

"What are you doing?" Akali hissed.

"Let me handle this," Fiora deadpanned. Akali looked at her in disbelief but decided to trust her. This happened only in a matter of seconds. The servant attempted to run and seek for help but Fiora was way faster. She closed the door and held the woman still, closing her mouth with her hand so as she wouldn't be able to scream.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you," Fiora said softly in an attempt not to make the woman before her fret. She was already shaking in fear. "You are that servant Vayne spared her life, aren't you?"

The woman looked confused only momentarily. How could she forget that night when she bumped into those strange creatures?

"She was here again. Do you know where they might be holding her?"

The woman whimpered in response.

"Tell me and I'll let you go unharmed," Fiora promised. "Just tell me where they're holding her."

She slowly removed her hand, trusting the woman not to scream again. She still looked terrified but somehow she seemed to trust Fiora. "I saw them dragging her at the basement. Norman has installed more security measures because of that."

"What type of security?"

The woman simply shrugged.

"Alright, fine." Fiora sighed. "Go and don't tell anyone you saw us. I mean it," she warned the servant.

The woman nodded before opening the door and disappearing behind it, leaving Fiora and Akali on their own.

"How can you be sure she won't notify anyone?" the assassin asked sceptically. "You should had let me get her out of the way."

"Killing isn't always an option," Fiora deadpanned. "She's innocent, she didn't choose to be part of this. Why should she pay the price?"

"Maybe you've got a point but this was risky," Akali retorted.

"Maybe you should be more worried about the extra security," Fiora responded.

"What do you presume this means?"

Fiora shrugged her shoulders. "No idea. Guess we'll find out."

They entered the hallway and walked carefully until the grand staircase. From where they stood they could make out Jinx's screams and laughter alongside the guards' shoutings. No matter how good the Loose Cannon was at wreaking havoc, they didn't have much time left, especially if they were to bump into Camille and whatever other measures Norman Rose had taken in order to protect his mansion.

Fiora came to a halt, signaling at Akali to stop. The grand staircase was just a few steps away but they couldn't just walk in. People were running outside with guns ready in their arms. Among them there was Norman Rose who screamed instructions at his guards. The two PROJECTS backed off a bit in order to be hidden in the shadows.

"Where's that basement?" Akali asked in a whisper.

"Just right under the staircase," Fiora explained. "There's a button on the floor that reveals the entrance. You won't miss it. We just need to wait."

She was right to want and wait. Norman eventually grabbed a gun himself and walked outside to deal with this emergency himself while the rest of the servants disappeared. Just when it seemed like that the field was clear, Camille showed up, more rigid than before.

"Holy shit," Akali cursed in Fiora's ear. "Are you sure you can deal with that?"

"Nothing I can't handle," Fiora assured. "I'll keep her distracted for as long as I can. If I can get rid of off her, I'll come find you."

Akali nodded in affirmation. Fiora took a breath before drawing out her blade and walking carefully towards Camille. The Program took notice of her immediately. The front door was shut close, separating the outside battle from the one that was about to take place inside. The two of them stayed still for a moment, analyzing their opponent.

Then Camille made her first move.

Fiora deflected her attack with ease and prepared for the next strike when she saw Camille's other leg coming towards her head. She ducked and thrusted her blade forward. It barely missed Camille as the the latter moved to the side in order to avoid the hit. Fiora stopped right in the middle of the momentum, span around and gave a successful blow. Camille jumped behind. Using the ropes that emerged out of her legs, she leaped in the air and came down on Fiora who could barely avoid the hit. But she couldn't be fast enough to avoid Camille's next immediate blow and her armor got scratched.

"Seems like she got an upgrade," Fiora thought to herself. Camille's moves felt different, more precise, as if she had been prepared to face such an opponent. No matter, Fiora didn't need to win, just keep her distracted. She sensed Akali moving quickly behind the staircase and she was relieved. She couldn't care less if Camille was advanced now.

She prepared herself for the next blow when she found her legs stuck in a layer of ice on the floor that hadn't been there before.

"Fiora, I think I found Norman's extra security!" Akali shouted, pointing at a new-found figure.

Fiora snapped her head towards Akali. She saw a tall figure standing in the middle of a circle of ice that seemed to be produced by her. According to Fiora's instant scan, her name was Lissandra and was another model of the Program series. Her specialty was ice which could cause them a major problem.

Lissandra wasted no time and threw a shard of ice towards a stunned Akali, knocking her off her feet. Meanwhile Camille charged at Fiora, trying to cut her throat open. Despite the fact that the dueler was unable to move, she managed to block Camille's attack but she doubted if she'd be able to do it again. Camille was faster than before, rendering her a more dangerous opponent. This wasn't good at all.

The ice eventually shattered on the floor, giving Fiora the opportunity to move again. She didn't rest though. She could only make calculations for when Lissandra would be able to use this ability again. Akali managed to get on her feet again, removing the ice shrad off her arm, gritting her teeth. Suddenly a fog of smoke filled the hall, denying them vision.

Fiora wanted to shout but she decided against it. She wouldn't want to betray her position like that. She clenched her blade when she heard a smashing sound and a growl. The smoke slowly disappeared. Then Fiora saw a blade coming her way. She was too slow and Camille managed to hit her hard on the shoulder, sustaining a lot of damage.

Warning: Excessive damage

Fiora was thrown behind with a throbbing shoulder. Meanwhile Akali was having a rampage against Lissandra. It was obvious that the latter couldn't resist against the assassin's powerful attacks. She wasn't designed to sustain too much damage. But as Akali prepared for the final blow, Lissandra produced an ice glove that crawled itself away from the PROJECT. Before the assassin could deliver the hit, Lissandra had transported herself away. She threw another shrad, hitting Akali on the back.

Fiora managed to slip around Camille, hitting hard on her legs and knocking her off her feet, winning some seconds to get to the assassin.

"I'm fine," Akali growled as Fiora offered her hand to help her up. "This isn't getting us anywhere. We're losing precious time."

"No shit," Fiora agreed, taking notice of Camille and Lissandra approaching dangerously.

"We should- Watch out!" Akali shouted when she realized that Lissandra was about to create yet another circle of ice. Both PROJECTS had made the correct calculations and jumped away the right second away from the crawling ice. Fiora landed on her feet with Akali on her side, realizing that they had gotten closer to the back of the staircase. Akali seemed to notice that as well.

"Go," the assassin said. "I'll hold them off for as long as I can."

"Don't be ridiculous. You should go instead-"

"Just shut up and go already, you stubborn woman!" Akali shouted angrily. "You're the only one who knows what to expect down there. Plus, I have unfinished business with Lissandra," she added.

Fiora wanted to argue but they were running out of options. She rushed to find that button on the floor behind the staircase. When she found it, she pressed her foot on it and the entrance to the basement was revealed. Fiora gave one last glance at Akali before running down the stairs.

Of course she couldn't expect the place to be completely unguarded. When she came closer to the bottom of the stairs, there were a couple of guards awaiting for her arrival. But what could they even do against her bulletproof body? It was no use shooting at her. Fiora got rid of them quickly and entered the basement.

She might not have noticed it the first time she'd been there but the basement seemed more of a personal laboratory with all of the equipment installed in there. Right in the middle of the room, Vayne was tied onto what seemed to be a upright stretcher. She was unconscious. Fiora rushed to her side, trying to wake her up as she untied the straps that kept the hunter still on the stretcher.

"Shauna! Shauna! Wake up!" Fiora practically begged. "Come on now, I didn't come all this way here to find you dead!" Her own words hurt her but she didn't have time to process that. She needed to wake Vayne up first.

Vayne stirred but her eyes didn't open. "...Fiora?"

It was barely above a whisper but it was enough for Fiora to finally feel relieved, even momentarily. "It's me. Don't worry, I'll get you out of here," she promised as she continued untying the straps.

"...Fiora... No..." Vayne continued her nonsense rumbling but Fiora was having none of this.

"It's okay, it's okay, soon everything will be over-"

"...It's a trap...!" Vayne gasped.

The words barely slipped from her lips when Fiora heard footsteps coming right behind her. She raised her blade, preparing to face whoever was it. Much to her surprise, she saw Norman Rose standing before her in an all dark tuxedo, holding a gun she couldn't quite recognize. The door behind him closed, trapping all of them together. Fiora didn't like one bit the smirk on his lips.

"Good to see you again, Fiora. It's been some time," he spoke first.

"How are you even here?" Fiora asked, narrowing her eyes. "I saw you running outside."

"Oh, please! I know this place better than you'll ever be able to. Why would this basement have only one entrance?" Norman responded. "Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?"

"No, I guess it doesn't," Fiora replied, clenching her blade harder.

"Let's get this over with," he added, aiming the gun at her. "Don't worry, you'll keep your darling company."

"I'm pretty sure I will but under my terms."

Norman chuckled. "You're an interesting case you two. I wonder what would have happened if Viktor had been able to perfect the PROJECT technology."

"...Don't listen... to him... Trying to... distract you," Vayne choked out, coughing hard.

"Keep it shut, Vayne. If she's eager to find out about her past, you should let her. After all, isn't that what you came here for in the first place?"

Fiora glanced at Vayne. Is this why all of this happening? For Fiora's past? This was the second time Vayne got herself into trouble for this particular reason! If Norman wouldn't kill them, she'd definitely choke Vayne with her own hands.

"What do you think, dear? Would you like to know your past?" Norman asked.

"Not interested-"

"Or should I let your fianceà explain?" His grin reached his ears.

Fiora froze.

Fiancé?

No way.

But yet again, it finally made sense. All of it.

Fiora suddenly felt a strong headache and fell on her knees.

"Fiora!" Vayne's voice was stronger than before but still just as hoarse. However, Fiora barely heard her as her vision became blurry.

Initiating memory recovery

Loading: 98%

Both of them sat at the edge of the bed, holding hands. Memory Fiora seemed sceptical and worried while Shauna caressed her hand with her thumb.The ring on her finger shone brightly. Fiora's gaze fell upon her own ring. She had screwed up big time and she knew it.

"Shauna, what are going to do if I end up losing my job?" Fiora asked, expressing her worries. "We might have to postpone the wedding."

"We won't have to postpone anything," Shauna said firmly. "Listen here. I got a job offer from a company in Piltover. Perhaps you might be interested in signing up for their course if you end up getting fired."

"You're a lifesaver, have I ever told you that?"

Shauna smiled. "A few times."

They both laughed.Fiora paused momentarily.

"What type of job is that?"

"They didn't give me any details. Guess I'll find out once I get there," Shauna responded.

"Well, whatever that is, I'm pretty convinced I'm going to enjoy it more than my current job if it means being with you."

Shauna rolled her eyes. "Now you're just being corny."

"Yes, but you love it." Fiora smirked.

Shauna leaned in and kissed her softly. "I love you."

"I love you too," Fiora replied, giving her fiancé's hand a squeeze.

Her foggy memory had finally cleared. Fiora felt completely overwhelmed and at the same time somewhat relieved but there was no time for that with Norman Rose pointing a gun towards her head. Her vision cleared as well and it was obvious that he had the upper hand in this situation.

"You remember, don't you?" he said softly. "Well, at least you know who dragged you into all of this mess."

Fiora wanted to say something to him but she got distracted by Vayne who made an incoherent sound. She turned her head slightly to see what the matter was and she found herself again in front of yet another surprise. Was Vayne actually crying? It seemed like it but there were only two tears rolling down her face and nothing else.

"She knows it too," Norman continued. "The Forgotten Lovers, that's what they liked to call you. You came in together and ended up leaving separately, with no memory of each other."

He was right, of course. But this made Fiora even more angry towards PROJECT than before. How cruel could anyone be to do something like that? They had stolen their lives, their pasts, their lovers for some idiotic reason guided by greed. She would never accept that as long as she lived. Anger worked like a power fuel for her. No mercy.

"One shot from this gun and you'll find the same fate as Vayne here. See I'm merciful enough to keep you together?" Norman smirked. "Everything we'll go back to where it was to. And this time we'll make sure you'll never remember each other again."

Fiora heard the click from the gun and a whimper from Vayne.

This was not over.

With unexpected speed, she jumped up, pushing Norman away with great force. He collapsed onto the wall, coughing blood. Growling, he pointed his gun at Fiora once again and shot. Fiora jumped out of the way, hiding behind a table as the bullet hit one of Norman's machines, creating a small explosion.

"You can't hide forever," he said threateningly as he stood up. "Your assassin friend won't last forever against the upgraded Programs. As for your other chaotic friends, well... I doubt they have infinite bullets to spend. You are all doomed."

Fiora realized he was right but she was not going to give him the satisfaction by admitting that.

"Soon you'll be back where you belong and then the PROJECT era will begin and no one will be able to stop it. Forget about your dreams of incarnating. You'll never be humans again."

His menacing laugh filled the basement. How wrong he was though. He had absolutely no clue.

Fiora, at least, knew the truth.

"Enough with the games!" Norman said eventually. "Come out and surrender before I do something you'll regret."

"Worse than what you've done to us already? I doubt that," Fiora huffed before throwing the table she had been hiding behind towards Norman, catching him off guard.

He had to duck to avoid the hit and it gave Fiora the opportunity to come close. Before Norman could react, she thrusted her blade right through his chest. He gasped as his shirt filled with blood.

Fiora pushed the blade harder and he yelped in pain. She brought her face close to his so the last thing he'd witness before he died would be her, a reminder of what he had created in this world.

"PROJECT: Incarnation has started," she whispered. "And there's nothing you can do to stop it. And just for the record, we never stopped being humans just because you trapped us in those metallic bodies. The body gets destroyed, but the soul doesn't."

With those last words, she pulled out her blade, letting Norman's lifeless body fall to the floor, blood dripping from the tip of her weapon. Fiora watched Norman with eyes wide open from fear and surprise, blood escaping his lips. She turned away in disgust and focused on what was important.

"Fiora..." Vayne whimpered again when she felt the dueler close to her, trying to open the last few straps that held her tied onto that stretcher. Vayne would have collapsed onto the floor if Fiora hadn't been there to catch her on time.

"It's alright, I'm here," Fiora whispered lovingly. She felt the relief washing over her. "We'll be safe soon. Don't worry."

"...I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... All my fault..."

"For the millionth time, stop apologizing to me. I came here willingly. Both times."

Vayne shook her head. "I dragged you... in the whole PROJECT situation... I pushed you hard... I remember... I lost you...I hurt you... my fault..." Her words didn't make a lot of sense and she could barely make out a sentence but Fiora understood what she wanted to say and a part of her wanted to slap her.

"So what?" Fiora retorted. "We've found each other again. Why shouldn't that be a good thing? Our love is the proof that we are actually humans." The corner of her lips formed a smile.

The tears stained Vayne's face but she didn't have anything to respond with. Even though she was extremely tired and felt like shutting down soon, this was the most alive she had ever felt in a really long time.

Fiora leaned in and kissed her. "Rest. We'll talk about this once we're safe. We'll be safe, I promise you."

Vayne believed her. She always had. She leaned into her touch, shutting off her eyes eventually.

Fiora stood tall with Vayne in her arms. She glanced at Norman's body again. That terrifying gun was still within his grip. Carefully not to drop Vayne, she bended down and picked it up. For future reference, she told herself, but she doubted she'd ever use such a weapon against anyone. Then, Fiora had little trouble in unlocking the basement door and rushing upstairs. This was still not over.
