Blake sucks in a sharp breath, almost like an aborted sob. But her eyes are dry. She's not that girl anymore.
"I'm not afraid." It's a lie and it isn't. She knows the Shadows can reach through their Support Personas and affect them. She knows that Shadows can spill out of the rifts and find them. But if anyone falls first, it'll be Justice and Jude and the rest of the squad, and if it comes to that, then Blake will be ready to go with them.
But she is scared to death of watching it happen. Blake turns her head towards Pansy, knowing they must look ridiculous, clinging to each other in the middle of a party; but not wanting to shatter this moment if Pansy won't. "Are you?"
