Leah abruptly appeared amid the flames, which immediately set her alight. Strangely, however, they only burned along the surface of her body.
Wearing her usual smile, she pressed the silver pistol she carried against the Midwife's temple. But as she pulled the trigger and the gunshot rang out, the Midwife abruptly vanished.
