Kallie, still wide-eyed with fear, shook her head vigorously. "How could I? I don't have that kind of power! I was just terrified and didn't know where to go!" Saniya regarded Kallie with suspicion. "Forget it. I'll take you somewhere safe. You were headed for the VIP yachts. They are planning to set sail soon. You better not even think about escaping, or I won't let you out of my sight."
