  1. David was going to win. My mind began shutting down. I should demorph, I told myself. But no, I was too high up. And it was so hard to concentrate. So hard to focus.
  2.  
  3. David was actually carrying me higher, lifting me up. That way, if I did demorph, I'd fall to my death.
  4.  
  5. <Sorry, Rachel,> David said. <But after all, birds die all the time, don't they?>
  6.  
  7. And that's when it happened.
  8.  
  9. I saw it drop from out of nowhere. Out of the sky. Out of the clouds it dropped.
  10.  
  11. Wings back, talons raked forward.
  12.  
  13. It hit David in the back of his head! Eagle feathers flew. David screamed in pain.
  14.  
  15. And Tobias - yes, Tobias - said in private thought-speak, <Rachel, David is really getting to be a pain in the butt.>
  16.  
  17. David released me. My wings flapped again. I was hurt, but David couldn't know how badly. And he didn't want to fight two at once. He turned and flew away.
  18.  
  19. <Tobias?> I cried. <But you're supposed to be dead.>
  20.  
  21. <I am? Who, me?>
