"A trap..." Morgan grinned.
" Of course it's a trap, that's the entire point of ambushing and outnumbering two people, no?"
Lucian forced out a strained smile.
"No, the reason Talia can't fight is that this is a trap."
His eyes warily swept over the gathered masked figures.
"He's here somewhere; he's doing something with her mind.
Morgan frowned, turning to the dazed girl.
Just then, Talia snarled and lunged at Morgan.
"Die!"
Morgan gasp, ed, taking a step back.
His eyes narrowed in confusion.
" Die?"
Lucian moved before he did, slamming the back of Talia's head with the back of his blade.
Her eyes rolled up into her head, her mouth opening.
" I didn't want to do this," Lucian muttered.
Turning to Morgan, he shouted.
"One of them is a peculiar Talented, his power warps the mind. He was making her see things. I know because he tried it on me for a moment, but I managed to shake it off. So watch out for him."
" Well, that's just creepy," Morgan murmured.
