The Assassins: Code Death

Chapter 18

Robyn's POV

"Now that's no way to treat family!" I snapped, quickly hauling myself to my feet. Lamia and Melione just stood there with smug looks. "Didn't mother teach you any manners? Or were you too far behind in your magic lessons to learn any?"

Lamia's snub look melted into a angry sneer. "How... dare you! I am the most powerful child of Hecate that has ever been or ever will be!" She roared unleashing a wave of magical energy that caused her hair to spontaneously combust.

"Lamia, if you must destroy her please do it quickly. We have other uninvited guests." She chided pointing to the top of the cliff. I glanced up, just in time to see Aubrey, Courtney and Hanna hurl themselves off the top of the canyon.

I watched in horror as they plummeted through the air. I raised my hands to cast a spell, but a green fire-ball from Lamia interrupted me. I turned and cast a deflecting spell, sending the fire-ball into the river. I quickly looked back expecting to see my friends become a giant demigod grease spot. But, at the last minute, Hanna sprouted a pair of large black wings and slowed their descent. I lost sight of them as they disappeared into the crowd of ghosts.

Lamia ran her fingers through her fiery mane, transforming it back into scarlet hair. "You deal with them." She hissed, a sadistic smile spreading across her face. "I really should spend some quality time with my sister."

Melinoe sighed. "As you wish." She waved her hand and vanished.

Lamia's eyes snapped back to me shining with malice. I took out my deck of playing cards and held them in my palm, my fallen cards leaped off the ground and reshuffled themselves back into the deck.
