"We're about to make life a living hell for the two of you," the Diabolical in front of us growled. "Mess with the Diabolicals, and it's payback for eternity."
"Great. Can't wait." Seph narrowed her eyes down the hallway past them, at our door that had opened a crack.
If that were Nebbles, I still didn't see how -
Between us and them, another door slammed open.
The blonde girl made of muscle and brawn with a permanent sneer who Ramsey had sparred with yesterday stepped out of her room. Echo, that was her name. Without even looking, she spread out both her arms and shouted, "Impetro rid."
A powerful gale spinning with off-white light sparks barreled toward both ends of the hallway. All of the Diabolicals vanished, just like Ramsey had in the library. Only us, the girl, and Nebbles, who sat cleaning her gray paw, remained in the hallway, completely untouched by her magic. That was a powerful spell.
I stared, open-mouthed like a dead fish, while relief washed through me.
