Nailah stares at the car as it drives away, only vaguely hearing what Hazard is saying until the explosion suddenly yanks her back into reality. For a moment all she can think is 'Both. Show me how to do both!' but her power continues to elude her. On some level she realizes that in a twisted way stabbing him is what he wants her to do and still she can't help but want to. He invaded her home. Threatened and hurt her parents. He deserves to be punished. She wants to punish him. She's angry that she couldn't do anything to stop this. She looks down at the knife, catching a glimpse of her own reflection in the blade and for a moment the fog lifts. The eyes staring back at her are older, hard; and she can see the path that leads to them. Two steps forward, sweep the leg, pivot around, bring her arm down just as such, blade sinking into Hazard's chest before he even hits the ground, twist it just right, the handle breaks as the blade gets stuck between his ribs, impaling his heart, can't pull it out, can't regenerate. Dead. Like her parents. She's staring down into a hole in the dirt with nothing but anger in her eyes, anger that ripples back in time to this very moment.
The knife hits the driveway with a metallic clang and she runs. Leaving Hazard standing there she flies down the road, her feet only touching the ground every couple meters as her wings propel her forward faster than she could sprint. Towards the burning wreckage of the car and the shape of her dad on the nearby lawn.
