CHAPTER ELEVEN
Panic flooded through me as I realized that Richard was trying to snap my neck by pulling back on it unnaturally. The only reason he hadn’t succeeded yet was because my body was naturally stronger than most, but it wouldn’t be long before he put enough pressure on it to snap it.
Instinctively, I gave myself just enough super strength to push up. That sudden movement made Richard let go of my neck and roll off my body, but I didn’t look at him. I just grabbed my pole staff and jumped to my feet, whirling around to begin laying the smack down on his fat face.
But when I turned around, Richard was missing again.
“Dang it,” I said, looking this way and that again. “Where the hell is he? Can he turn invisible?”
“No,” said Richard behind me suddenly. “But good guess.”
