“Yep, I want you to light them all up at the same time.”

Zaara smiled wide, and pure joy showed on her face. “Yes! Finally, someone with some fucking balls!”

Behind them, shouts erupted as the dead collided with their guards. They didn’t have much time.

Kelly motioned to the warlock beside them. “I think he and I can pull enough water from the lake down the street to put them out. The others can chase down anything that we miss and eliminate it.”

The warlock nodded. “Let’s do it!”

Fabian appeared beside them. “What is the plan?”

Kelly gauged his mood and decided against telling him. “Don’t ask. You won’t like it and I don’t have time to explain.”

Fabian shook his head in his true fashion.

Kade tore his wrist open and held it to her. “Ye need it for strength. Take it.”

What about all these people watching??

Everyone kens vampire blood gives ye strength, just take it.

She took a few good pulls from his vein before he pulled back. Kelly sent a silent thanks his way.

“Zaara, you’re up!” Kelly gave the fire mage the go-ahead.

Zaara didn’t waste any time moving to the center of the pack. Kelly watched as the mage harnessed her power.

“Everybody back, NOW!” Zaara yelled, as she prepared to unleash hell.

The crew cleared back immediately, leaving the way for her to unleash her power.

Fire shot from Zaara’s hands in long steady streaks.

The dead lit up like Christmas trees. Those who escaped the direct blast trampled the others and kept coming, then they caught fire as those below them burned.

Kelly pulled her power to the surface and called the water from the lake. The warlock joined her, and together they brought a wall of water through the streets of the neighborhood.

The blaze spread quickly from one body to another until a wall of fiery bodies surrounded the house.

The guards fought them off as best they could, but the dead were quickly gaining ground.

Heat pressed in on them as the dead kept coming, apparently oblivious to the blaze.

Screams erupted from the vampires as the fire began to spread from the dead to the undead.

The smell of burning flesh assaulted Kelly’s nose and she gagged, unable to push the reflex away.

The water was close now. Somehow, she and the warlock had linked their power and they’d drawn the majority of the water from the lake.

The tricky part was making sure all the dead were on fire before they put the blaze out. With that much water, there was no way to direct it to a single corpse.

“We cannot wait much longer; they’ll burn us all alive,” the warlock warned.

“I know, but we have to get as many of them as we can.”

Ye have to do it now, lass.

The flaming wall of dead bodies grew higher in front of them. Blazing bodies crawled over the guards and came straight for them.
