Chapter 12: The Awakening of Helen
Helen's POV
As Marcus moved closer to Scott, I stood motionless, my heart racing. Scott was still hurt and struggling for air on the ground. Marcus's eyes were crazy, and his claws were poised to deliver the last blow.
"Scott!" I yelled, but my voice could hardly be heard over the noise of the surrounding battle.

I closed my eyes without thinking and allowed my inner energy to rise. It was strong and wild, and it swept through me like a hurricane. Every part of me buzzed with strength I never knew I had, and I gasped as the force surged into my veins.
My surroundings were brighter and sharper when I opened my eyes once more. The power was surging within me, waiting to be let go.
