"Plan?" Cain yanks at the Spear, which causes Renee to lurch to the side, pain rocketing out of the shaft through her midsection. "What in Hell is she laughing about?"

Renee tasting blood and smelling it in the confines of her mask.

"The one where I end up with the Spear."

Then, before Cain can react, he's rushed, as the boys standing behind Renee, the boys who killed Sister Clarice, throw themselves at him. He lets go of the Spear and Renee falls back, her hands closing around the shaft.

She tries to call out, but can only manage a strained "RADIANT!" before she has to concentrate all her energy onto pulling the Spear back out.

And then, she lets herself scream.
