Innu and Blake had both returned using the motorbike they had come on, while Edvard had followed on a motorcycle of his own, but it was in a chopper style rather than a sports bike like the one Blake used.Somewhere along the way, they had managed to lose Edvard as well, although it wasn't on purpose. It was just one moment Blake could see him in the wing mirror, and the next he wasn't there.When they landed in Slough, Blake had dropped Innu off at his house and invited him in while they put the bike away. In the meantime, Innu had a lot to say because there was a lot on his mind."What is going on? My head really hurts," Innu said, grabbing his head."It's the same for me as well. I'm still confused. Where did Edvard go? I mean, there are road signs to Slough and GPS. He couldn't have gotten lost, and he even said that he would be following me," Blake said. "Should I go back and try to find him? Should I report to the other hunters?"The whole situation was stressing out Blake, who

Normally, Olivia wouldn't be one who hesitated to act. In fact, as soon as she saw the person land from above, she had already transformed her arms into deadly claws that could kill most humans with a single swipe.However, there were reasons why she hadn't moved in. Things that she had managed to notice."That man, he fell from up there. These trees are pretty high," Olivia thought. "A normal person would at least make some sort of reaction falling from that height or even hurt themselves, but there wasn't even a slight bend in his knees."Observing the man more, the mask and some of the clothes he was wearing resembled greatly those of the Altered Hunters. Of all places, it looked like they had been followed."We still have to get the first attack. Even if this is a skilled Altered Hunter, there's a good chance he doesn't know what we can do, and we aren't Altered in the first place."Olivia, being the faster of the two, felt like she should move in first, be the first to attack. Bu

After learning from Innu that he had decided to become an Altered Hunter, the group stated that they needed details, and Innu had to explain himself fairly quickly because Austin wasn't giving him the best of smiles.After all, Austin was an Altered, and Innu was now an Altered Hunter, which would mean the two of them were enemies in some way.He explained his reasoning, that he wished to get stronger and how he had joined through Blake's recommendation as an apprentice. So far, they understood Innu's intention and how he had planned to stay in the Howlers, not really doing any Altered Hunter duties.However, the tone and tension in the room started to change when Innu went on with his story, how he had been invited to an Altered Hunters meeting, and the assessments that followed. Finally, it was time for him to tell the others the hardest part, that he would have to leave Slough and be under the Altered Hunters' wing for an entire year."This is crazy… This is crazy. Why didn't you t

While the others were busy discussing a few matters, there was a knock on the outside door."Oh, I guess it's time to open up soon then. The time went by quicker than I thought," Marie commented.Getting up from her seat, she walked along the wooden floor and pulled the door open. To her surprise, it wasn't just any regular customers, but a few familiar faces they had seen before."I thought you might have wanted to stay home today," Marie said."Well, White wanted to come here anyway, and it would be good to be with everyone," Amy replied.Two girls walked into the Wolf's pool club side by side, their arms linked. Amy and White knew all the members of the Wolf's pool club, and although Amy didn't have the full scope of what was going on, she did know a few things.She knew that Gary was part of the new gang called Howlers, and so were all the others in this place. She just didn't really know how high up everyone was. There were times when living with White that Amy tried to get infor

The first couple of fights before the main event had started consisted of fighters who had a few wins and losses under their belt. They weren’t anything special… but that only applied by using the AFC standards. These were still skilled Altered, the best of the best that only a few could ever be strong enough to be selected to take part. Going through an academy that had links with the AFC was just one way to enter."Holy crap!" Tyson shouted, lifting his hands up to protect his face out of instinct after a man had just been hurled towards the cage. He could clearly see the zigzagging pattern from that cage."Why would anyone willingly get in the ring if they know they're going to get hurt like that?" Spring asked.Watching an Altered fight on the screen and in person were two completely different experiences. Only the latter could allow the spectator to really feel that it was real and how dangerous the fighters were. Every hit they heard, the groans they let out elevated the whole e
