"That was pathetic," I snapped "I don't even need sage to fight you You're puy enough all on your own"
His face twisted with rage, and a torrent of Gernal to run for it, darting through the throngs of people going about their business on this lovely autu
I had made it as far an outdoor sports bar when it felt like a wrecking ball crashed intoforward, coh to avoid the family with the small children and instead crashed into a table with several young s The table broke under e-s over me The four men who'd been seated around it stared down atchicken in their hands
"What's your problehost had blasted me into them, but did they really think I'd just swan dived into their table out of boredoe point on the floor, I could see Kra every tilanced back at the quartet of youngthat would ot here
"I' and desperate for attention," I ihts froet the hell away from me!"
With that, I shoved the reh so they could avoid it They leapt out of its path and started backing away Thankfully, they weren't the only ones The outdoor seating area quickly began to clear of people
"Crazy bitch," I heard, but host He was only a dozen feet away now, his et hi soetover the wall A less-crowded section of shops was on the other side, parked cars lining the streets but their owners mostly elsewhere I didn't look back to see if Kramer had taken the bait but continuedflat out "I know that whole bit about witches deprivingable to get it up unless you could-"
So an explosion of pain throughdown the sidewalk face-first,me several feet before whatever he'd done to er to eha me back to my knees
Someone screamed I couldn't see who because my vision was blurry and filled with red I spat out blood, sickening crunching noises sounding with that slight movement of ot up again, braced for the blow I kneould come Get away from the people, away from the people, I repeated to myself No matter what he did to me, I'd heal They wouldn't

I didn't knohy he wasn't zooy shots, but daot around to it I whirled, pointing myself in the least-populated direction of the street, and started to run More bones crunched, and my skin felt like I'd been staked on an anthill before I finished healing, but I didn't stop running, waiting for the next blast of pain that would signal Kra hard pressed into nized the power flooding around round leftarm aroundin a high-pitched, feminine voice
That scream was the sweetest otten to Kramer's last intended victione high and far enough away that we knew Kramer couldn't have followed, Bones texted Spade and told hile Park where I-29 was closest to the Missouri River It had been over an hour since we left Kra the wohost even the sh me
Her name was Sarah, and she hadn't settled down much since Bones took her away froht hadn't been enough to scare her senseless, it only took fiveto her to realize that Krae of sanity With Francine and Lisa out of his reach, he'd clearly made up for lost tihts were a mixture of white noise, terror, and repetitions of the sa witches to live and his being unstoppable Bones and I told her she could trust us,sure our eyes were lit up e said it, but she seeazes
