    "Enough!" Azazel screamed. He then snapped his fingers and sent them to the trees and boulder in front of him.

    Azazel continued. "I''m going to pick one to kill, then the rest of you are good!"


    Max lowered his head. "Shit!" Suddenly, he could hear Shadow panting uncontrollably. He turned to him.

    Shadow groaned in pain. "It hurts, it - hurts!"
