The boldness collapsed.
Jana's eyes flew open. Her lips parted in horror.
What have I done?
What have I done?!
The realization hit her like a slap. Her breath caught in her throat as she watched the arrow hurtle toward its target.
Nnenna, completely unaware of the danger, stood perfectly still. She was too focused, too immersed in refining her technique. She didn't even feel the shift in the air as the arrow sliced through it.
She didn't see the horror widening in Arthur's eyes from behind.
She didn't hear the gasps erupting across the practice ground.
She was seconds, no, heartbeats, away from being struck.
Just as Nnenna steadied her arm for another shot, a blaring siren exploded in her head.
DING! DING! DING!
"Incoming danger! Incoming danger!

Her heart slammed into her ribs. The sudden alarm nearly made her drop her bow.
What?!
