"It's not. None of this is okay." He took a step closer to Braeden. "She's right. You aren't Braeden."
"Cassandra!"
I turned to Ruby's voice. She and Sonny were running across the courtyard toward us. Braeden, the pretend Braeden, started to run, but Dash and Kyler quickly grabbed him and pressed his hands behind his back.
"No!" I screamed at Sonny who was casting a spell toward the pretend Braeden. Dozens of poisonous darts appeared above Sonny's head, and as he thrust his hands forward, the darts rushed toward Braeden.
Kyler and Dash immediately formed a shield of protection, and the darts fell harmlessly to the ground.
"The fuck did you do that for?" Sonny asked as he and Ruby approached, both out of breath.
The pretend Braeden started laughing, and right before our eyes he began changing until he resembled the nurse who'd confronted me in the infirmary. Kyler and Dash released the man's arms and stepped back.
