Ree picked up the gun Chas had dropped by her feet. It wasn't cold in her arms, like it had been the first time she used it. In fact, it was rather warm. It was, she realized with horror…
Inviting.
Right then, Ree positioned the gun in her arms, and shot all six of the guards in the kink of their 'bulletproof' uniforms.
Immediately, bullets from other soldiers went off. She ran from hiding spot, gun still in her arms, and toward the black truck.
Her legs pumped across the clearing, but not before a blur just like Chas's blows her backward.
She glanced quickly the blur's way, her heart speeding. Chas was in danger.
"Get her!"
Bap! Bap! Bap!
Her expression turned into panic as she scrambled to get up. But it was too late.
Perfectly aimed bullets flew toward her.
She closed her eyes.
A sensation came over her, as if goose bumps were covering every part of her body. Her cells seemed to slow, and, for just a moment, her heart froze. A clear, gossamer tone spread over her Caucasian skin and her wrinkled clothes.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
"SHE'S AN EXPERIMENT!"
Soldier's shouts seemed to quietly overcome her thoughts as perfectly aimed bullets flew through her.
So her power did work after all those months. Imagine that.
