Dawson reacted so quickly that if anyone in the room wanted to stop him, he or she didn’t have a chance. Rearing back, he sent a blast of pure, unstable energy straight into Matthew. The bolt slammed into Matthew’s chest, spinning him around. I knew Matthew was dead before he hit the ground.
And there I go again, being completely shocked at how fast that just happened. Not that I'm blaming Dawson for what he did, it just really threw me for a loop.
