ran to Uri’s side and swung around to hold her feet.  Uri climbed in first, pulling Sophie in behind him as Gabe guided her feet.  Gabe thought about how he had admired her boot clad feet when he first saw her.  He wished with everything in him that she would be alright.
    “Gabe, you come around this side and hold her head.” Uri beckoned. 
    Gabe made sure Sophie’s feet were clear and closed the door as gently as he could.  He rushed to the other side of the car to take Uri’s place.  As he came around the back, he saw two more piles of ash where the creatures that were looking at him had been.
    He hesitated for a moment and then opened the rear door.  Uri stepped out.  Gabe slid into his place, cradling Sophie’s head in his lap.  Even lifeless, she was beautiful , Gabe thought.  Her skin was so pale; it had a gorgeous alabaster quality to it.  He wasn’t sure how, but he knew she had saved him.  
    Uri jumped quickly behind the wheel and searched frantically for the keys.  Gabe saw they were still dangling from the ignition.  He leaned forward placing a hand on Uri’s shoulder.  Uri looked back at him; Gabe could see the worry in his eyes.  Gabe motioned Uri towards the keys, slightly clearing his throat.  Uri looked down and with a sigh started the car.  He pulled back out onto the deserted road.  Minutes passed by with Uri frantically checking over his shoulder every few moments. 
    “How is she?” he finally asked Gabe.
    Gabe looked at Sophie’s body, lying there, unsure how to even answer that question.  
    “Seems to be the same.”  he responded honestly.  “I don’t understand.  What happened to her?”
    Uri stared at the road.  
    “There’s a lot you don’t understand right now, Gabe,” Uri replied, clearly not wanting to answer a bunch of questions at the moment.  “All you need to know is Soph used every ounce of power she had to save us.”
    Gabe was fine not asking too many questions considering the circumstances.  He leaned forward and noticed Uri had increased their speed to just over one hundred miles per hour, Gabe thought it prudent to say something.  
    “Uri, what if we get pulled over speeding?  Might be hard to explain.”  Gabe had dealt with the cops enough in his life.  He knew what it would be like trying to explain a half dead girl in the back seat.
    “Right, right.”  Uri responded without changing speed.  
    “Caecus.” Uri said in a powerful voice.
    “What?”  Gabe asked.
    “Oh,” Uri responded realizing Gabe had no idea what was happening.  As they sped down the street, Uri searched for the words.  
    “Look, Gabe, I really want Michael to explain everything to you, but part of what we are taught at the manor are what some might call spells.”
    “Like magic?” Gabe asked.
    “Well, I suppose, but it’s the source behind our magic that makes it work.  It’s a divine power.”  Uri explained, increasing his speed even more.  “I promise, if you have any questions after talking to Michael, I will answer them for you.  He’s the best one to explain all of this.  I put an incantation on the car so it’s invisible.”
    “Yeah, right, we’re invisible.”  Gabe said in disbelief, but then suddenly remembered back to the Subway and how the officers seemed to not even notice them.  “Wait, like you did in the city, with all those police officers?”
    Uri glanced back at Gabe, his worry giving way for a moment to an impressed stare.  “Exactly, I used a distraction spell on them allowing us to sneak by cloaked.”
    “So that scream wasn’t real?” Gabe asked.  Uri nodded his head affirmatively.  
    Gabe’s head felt like it was spinning.  Monsters.  Magic.  He had always worried about the evils he had known in the world.  Now it appeared there were unknowns that he always thought of as make believe to worry about, too.  What was he doing here?
    Gabe leaned back and looked at Sophie’s face, as he did, his thoughts
