The second Changeling bent forward to grab my arm.
I ducked and moved behind him.
The blast from the neuralizer struck the second Changeling full in the face.
His head lolled and his arm fell to his side.
I ran for Slak. He was a regular Titan. He had no external shell but plain flesh and bone.
I swung at him with the razor-sharp pebble.
But the first Changeling was there with the handheld neuralizer.
I slammed my eyes shut just in time. The glare flashed and I caught sight of the veins in my eyelids. They blocked the worst of the neuralizer’s effects but not everything.
I stumbled as my legs lost the will to move. I crashed to the floor.
“I’ve got you now!” the second Changeling said.
I raised my arms to block my face and eyes. The ray was strong and it was tough to block it all. I kicked out with my leg.
Slak stamped on my upper arm.
“De-neuralize her!” he growled.
“I’m trying!” the first Changeling said.
He kept waving it at me, searching for a hole to flash it in my face.
I screamed and tried to roll away but Slak’s foot pressed on my upper arm wouldn’t release.
I was pinned down.
I was doomed.
YAAAARGGGGHHH!
A pair of wailing banshees threw themselves at my assailants. One crashed into the first Changeling, the second into Slak.
I peered over my arms and found no bright light aimed at me. I sat upright. Vicky wrestled with the Changeling. She was holding her own too. I recognized the style of fighting. Titan military training. The Dance of Death. I wondered how she’d learned it.
Alice was coiled around Slak with her arm locked around his neck. He choked and struggled to shake her off.
These bitches were crazy!
My girls.
I scooped the handheld de-neuralizer off the floor and found the trigger. I fired it at the floor to ensure I was holding it properly. I aimed it at Vicky and the first Changeling.
“Bedtime,” I said.
They both looked at me. Vicky was first to understand my little clue and snapped her eyes shut.
I yanked the trigger and the first Changeling turned comatose.
“Nice work,” Vicky said, panting and out of breath.
Still, she looked strong.
