The Truth

"We're all going to change," Tomas said. 

Everyone froze for approximately half a second before complete chaos erupted.

"AAAAHHHH!" A woman screamed, pointing at Tomas like he'd just grown a second head. "HIS EYES! HIS EYES!"

"E-Everyone stay calm! STAY CALM!" Grace shouted, which was pretty rich coming from her, considering she was definitely not calm.

Tomas lunged forward and grabbed the nearest villager by the throat, lifting him like he weighed nothing.

"Shoot!" Grace summoned her light blade. "Put him down!"

Tomas turned to look at her, tilting his head sideways at an angle that necks absolutely should not bend. He grinned, showing way too many teeth.

"The angel speaks," he said in a voice that sounded like someone gargling gravel.

"Yeah, the angel speaks, and the angel says DROP HIM!"

Grace charged forward, trying to look more confident than she felt. Tomas tossed the villager aside and came straight at her.
