Helen's POV
I could hear the yells, growls, and clashes of metal from the ambush. There were rogues everywhere, and they attacked mercilessly. I barely managed to stay upright as I ducked a strike from one of them, my heart racing.
I attempted to use my abilities, but they were unpredictable and uncontrollable. Though it was unstable and slipped away each time I attempted to grip it, I could sense the energy reducing beneath the surface.
"Remain near me!" A rogue who was approaching too closely to my side was slashed by Scott as he shouted. With a loud clang, his sword collided with the rogue's blade, sending sparks flying.
"I'm making an effort!" I yelled back as I started to feel terrified. I used a little energy burst to stop another assault, but it wasn't enough, and my hands shook. My abilities were too capricious. They appeared one second and vanished the next.
