“The Hollows began to swarm forward, but Ember was unrelenting. She no longer even tried to speak. And the sounds I did hear… Even if I could no longer understand her words, I could still hear her. And I wished at the time that I had been rendered deaf. Because…the noise… The howling, the shrieking, the wailing! The woman in Ember was all but gone. All that remained was a beast that wanted nothing more than to kill everything around us!”
