Twang!Even as I started to move, I knew I couldn’t duck out of the way in time to keep the arrow from hitting me—Something moved off to my right, a shadow flitted in front of my eyes, and I heard the distinct sound of wood hitting flesh. I blinked.Smack!The arrow had stopped a foot from my face.Eyes wide, my head snapped to the side, and I realized that the angry girl from the train station was there—and that she was holding the arrow in her hand like it was a football she’d just plucked out of midair.“You’re welcome,” she said in a snide voice.Then, she tossed the arrow up in the air, grabbed it by the end, and threw it at the Reaper with the crossbow.The arrow sunk into his throat.
