Chapter 12

"What's with the mask?" Julian asked.

"It's a power restraint I'm forced to wear because I don't have full control," Ember snarled.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Ember snarled.

She managed to throw Mr. Alois onto the ground with her voice. Ember stopped upon seeing who she had hurt. That's when we all heard a beep. Hilda had been filming the whole time...
