A wavering step was taken forward. Zu's gaze shot between the woman's face and the phone. Fear fought curiosity. The people on the phone were indeed kids. She could not make out any details. She did not dare get close enough.
The woman was so friendly. She wanted her to take care of her, have someone to look after her. She barely remembered a time like that. But then a thought hit her. Why wasn't she wary of Zu? Trap! The word snapped through her mind and she stumbled backwards. The light above them started to flicker, sparks of electricity zapping around it like lightning before it gave up for good.
Look what I can do! You need to stay away! I do not want to hurt anyone! She wanted to scream those words but her mouth did not open. She gaped and then she ran.
