Elijah pulled the hot, slimy heart from the first mort-vivant he could reach and held it up, hearing a cheer rise from the vampires around them.

There was an intense flash of light and something knocked him sideways. He pulled himself free and jumped back to his feet, noticing a huge scorched patch beneath his feet. He spun around and saw Lisette rising from the ground as well, brushing her clothing off without any sign she was hurt.

Lily let another fireball grow between her hands as she whispered her spell. She aimed the second bolt directly at the tall redheaded girl, who was too distracted by a knot of three other witches to see it.

Elijah dove to pull Lisette to the ground, and the spell sailed over their heads, crashing into a pack of witches. All three burst into flame, so burnt to a crisp that it was clear no ordinary fire consumed them. Lily was throwing something far more powerful and dangerous.
