monitors.
    “It’s very important that nothing disturbs me while I'm casting the spell.”
    “If you need me, I'll be right here watching you.”
    Isaac looks back at her and smiles. “Thank you, Sonya,” he says. “After this is over we can work on resurrecting—”
    “Just bring back your wife, Isaac.”
    He nods. “Okay.”
    Then Isaac closes the door and it makes a strange mechanical clicking sound. Sonya gets up and pushes the button. The door doesn’t open.
    “Damn it,” she says under her breath. Sonya reaches in her back pocket and takes out the tracking device, and then she activates it.
    Sonya’s stares at the monitor watching Isaac perform his ritual; he slowly waves his arms in an unorthodox pattern which causes her eyelids to become heavy. She folds her arms on the table and rests her head on them.
    The door again makes the clicking noise, snapping her head up as it slides open, Sonya sees Joseph also with mystic writings on his face and arms. He enters, closes the door and puts down Sonya’s duffle bag.
    “The bag was exactly where you said it would be,” he says.
    Sonya opens it and finds her weapons.
    “We don’t have much time.” She loads a magazine into the Mark 8 assault rifle. They exit the room and walk down the hallway.
    “Here, put this on,” Joseph says, handing her an amulet which holds a red liquid. “It will protect you from his spells until the blood runs out.”
    Sonya puts the amulet on.
    “While I’m blocking his incantation you must find a way to stop him.”
    Sonya looks at him, knowing he means kill. They stop at the lab door.
    “Are you ready?” he asks.
    Sonya activates the Mark 8 rifle. “Ready.”
    “I’ll be on the floor above... Good luck.”
    Sonya opens the door and enters.
    The mystic markings glow red. Isaac is kneeling down in front of Rahna, chanting.
    “Step back from Rahna, Isaac,” Sonya says, pointing the rifle at him.
    Isaac turns around. “Sonya, what are you doing? You’re disrupting the incantation. Leave now!”
    Sonya holds her rifle steady. “Step away from Rahna now .”
    Isaac stands up. “You really want to play this game? How do you plan on stopping me? With that silly gun?” He lets out a mocking laugh. Then the markings begin to change to a glowing yellow.
    “He’s alive?”
    “It’s done, Isaac.” She lowers her rifle. “Let’s go home.”
    Isaac’s face becomes furious. “You’re going to have to kill me, Sonya.” He waves his hands, but he’s stunned. He waves his hands again. Still nothing happens.
    “Your powers don’t work on me,” she tells him.
    “Really?” He says. Then he begins chanting and two portals emerge. Two huge beast-like dogs exit the portal. Isaac ends the chanting. “Are you protected from these?”
    Sonya runs towards the stairs, and the beasts chase her. She shoots one and it goes down, tripping the first two. The last beast jumps over and continues the pursuit. Then Sonya hops on the lift and pushes the button. The lift rises but the beast is jumping up, trying to reach. The two other beasts soon join in. Sonya feels the metal support beam weakening. She takes out a small explosive, sets the timer, and plants it onto the platform of the lift. Then she grabs hold of a ceiling pipe and begins pushing the lift over with her feet, using all of her might. The lift falls on two of the beasts and explodes, killing them.
    The pipe breaks and Sonya falls onto the second level of the lab. The rifle slips out of her hand and falls below. The last beast jumps up and begins chasing her. He swipes her on the shoulder and Sonya flies off the second level, onto the floor. She gets up and runs towards the window. She pulls out her sidearm and fires four rounds through the glass. The beast leaps forward and crashes through the window as Sonya slides and grabs onto the ledge. The beast howls as it plummets to its death.
    Sonya pulls herself up and leans onto a wall. She feels excruciating pain and touches
