Kijani gave Flood a look of surprise, then pure derision. Her voice was a wicked sneer. "Friend? I don't even know you. Stay out of my business, or I'll end you like I'll end her." She walked back into the classroom without a second glance.Devika looked worried, but it seemed like Mimic wasn't going to let them stop fighting until Kyra gave in. "I'm sorry. Please don't hate me." She reached out and wrapped one of her hands around Kyra's slim neck. For a moment it was just a touch, almost like a caress. And then Devika started to squeeze.

Kyra gasped and gripped Devika's arm tightly, trying to pry her off of her. She tried to work up enough strength to burn her, but she couldn't. She swung her leg out again, trying to kick Devika in the stomach.
