Once they were in position, John gave the signal to open fire. The creature leaped to the ceiling, and without warning, the broken security door burst from the walls and flew straight at Smasher and Flint. They quickly ducked as it flew overhead. The monster used the distraction to escape the concession stand and climb up into the rafters. It was a large, powerful ape with huge claws that were apparently able to break through stone, judging by the fact that it was able to scale a solid concrete wall with relative ease.

They ran after the ape as it swung through the rafters, but it moved too fast, and the marines couldn’t keep up. They separated; Smasher, Ghost, and Flint turned around and ran the opposite direction to head it off around the other side, while John, Eraser, and Jolly continued forward.

The plan worked. The ape was cornered. In desperation, it let out a loud howl. As the marines were getting ready to open fire, a monstrous roar echoed back. Unable to pinpoint exactly whe

    Once the stadium was completely destroyed, Thunderbird turned its devastating attention to the nearby buildings. The rest of the National Guard in the area were called to the scene. They threw everything they had at it, but it just ripped through them like they weren’t even there. Those on the ground felt helpless as they watched the bird carve an unstoppable path of destruction through the city.Another news chopper bravely flew into the area to cover the event. Dutch quickly turned on the news to see their footage. Those on the ground and in the control room could only watch in horror as Thunderbird destroyed a nearby suburb. The few families who managed to make it out of their homes before they were demolished only became moving targets, drawing Thunderbird’s attention without mercy. Its attack did not discriminate. Men, women, and children were systematically burned alive as they ran screaming, desperate for somewhere to hide.Seeing the smoking and mutilated bodies of children ly

    “When a man murders pretty much the entire police department, you learn his face well,” he answered.“But the way you describe him, he sounds like a hero, not a mass murderer, and he may have even been working with the FBI.”“That’s one of the things most puzzling about the whole situation.”“Could it be that the police have been searching for the wrong man?”“I have no idea, but it was baffling to us how one man could cause so much devastation to this town. After witnessing all that—whatever that was—I now understand. This man is capable of extraordinary things and clearly possesses some . . . superhuman abilities. I sure hope he isn’t the villain he has been made out to be. Because if he is, then God help us.”Andrew turned directly toward the camera. “You heard it here. Some extraordinary events are taking place, and we hope and pray that the worst is behind us. Back to you, Teri.”The news feed changed back to Teri in the helicopter. “Thank you, Andrew.

    The girls both dropped to the floor, and Kyle sank as far down in his seat as he dared while still keeping an eye on the road. Another puff of dust appeared from much lower down on the mountain, and this time, the RPG was closer to its mark. There was a deafening explosion, and the SUV flipped onto its side, sliding crazily for a couple of hundred feet before finally coming to a stop at the foot of the mountain.“Is anyone hit?” asked Kyle.“I think we’re good,” Kristen answered, her voice sounding a little muffled.“Kora? You okay?” he asked.“Yeah, I’m all right. What hit us?” she said.“RPG,” said Kyle, sounding angry. “We’d better get out of here before they launch another one.”Kyle kicked out what was left of the windshield, and the three of them climbed out of the car. As soon as they hit the ground, they ran and took cover behind a big boulder to avoid another shower of bullets.“I wasn’t expecting a gunfight. This is when we need Wilson,” said Kristen.“Well, Wilson is not he

    The Analoya were getting tired and frustrated, Kyle in particular. He started ignoring his gun and tried to throw himself at Thunderbird every time it flew near, but it was too quick, and he missed again and again. Thunderbird started targeting him with each flyby, and his attempts to knock it out of the air became increasingly risky. Finally, he managed to briefly grab a hold of some of the tail feathers. Thunderbird swerved and nearly crashed into the cliff face, but it was still able to swoop around for another attack.As it came near, he leaped into the air and grabbed it around the chest. Thunderbird sank its talons into Kyle’s chest plate, piercing every layer of armor. He yelled in pain, but he didn’t release his grip as they tumbled to the ground. He managed to roll to his knees and pushed the bird far enough out that most of the talons came loose, but this opened up an opportunity for Thunderbird to attack again. It opened its beak directly in front of his face. Since some of

    The animal moved more and more until it finally began to get to its feet. It only stood on two legs, each about thirteen feet long. There were large industrial-strength straps around its ankles which were anchored to the ground with heavy chains. Kyle, Kora, and Dutch moved around to get a better look. The animal had a large head with rows of long sharp teeth and fierce eyes. Its arms were relatively short compared with its body, with feathers growing along the back of them and only two fingers on its hands.“It’s not a Stegosaurus—it’s a T. rex,” Kyle said with even more excitement.“I think it’s both,” said Kora.“Stegosaurus rex—no, Tyrannostegosaurus. I like it,” said Kyle.“I think you need to tone down your excitement a bit,” said Kora.“It’s a friggin’ Tyrannostegosaurus! A hybrid of two of my favorite dinosaurs!” Kyle said, struggling to keep quiet.His excitement soon ceased when the dinosaur let out a deafening roar and fought to break out of its restraints. It swung its spi

    With their attention drawn to the dying gunner, they didn’t notice that the micoaz atl on the lower leg had begun eating its way through the floor of the helicopter. One soldier, kneeling down next to the gunner, felt his foot move through the rapidly widening hole. He panicked and tried to move to safety but slipped through the opening. The liquid attached itself to his boots and his clothes as he slipped. He grabbed a hold of the floor to catch himself, but it was covered in the liquid and burned through his hand before he had time to react. He screamed as he fell and hit the ground hard. The others in the chopper were yelling and trying desperately to avoid the spreading micoaz atl as it steadily ate through everything it touched.The chopper descended rapidly, and before it even touched the ground, the passengers began jumping out. While everyone watched the micoaz atl melt the chopper into a twisted pile of goop, Kyle noticed Isaac run off toward the mountain. As he chased after

    “And it’s the same for my hand,” said Kristen. “Dr. Bryant bandaged me up and gave me some painkillers, and I replaced the armor on my arm. We’ll be okay.”“Where are Jolly and Eraser?” she asked John.“They were hurt pretty badly at the stadium. They’re still being treated for their injuries. They wanted to come with me when they heard what was happening up here, but I insisted they stay.”Kora looked back at Wilson, who had that “let’s go” look in his eye.“Okay,” she said hesitantly.“All right, everyone, were moving out toward the mountain!” Wilson shouted to the men. “We’re looking for a cave. Keep your eyes open for any signs of one.”They acknowledged him and began moving toward the mountain, but they stopped when they came to the flames from Kyle’s grenade; they were still burning hot.Kora fell to her knees. “I’m sorry, Kyle,” she said with her head bowed. ”I’m sorry I couldn’t get to you.” She began to cry again.After a minute or two, Dutch approached her. “We need to get g

    Wilson took it one step further, removed his glove, and placed his hand into the mist.“I’m not feeling any pain,” he said. “If I focus, I can feel a slight tingling sensation, but that’s it. The eyes are much more sensitive to chemicals than the rest of the body, which is probably why it hurt Flint. If we keep our heads above the mist, which shouldn’t be difficult since it’s only a couple of feet deep, then we should be okay. But the tingling sensation does make me a bit nervous, so let’s try not to spend too much time in here. Every once in a while, rotate into the circle so you’re not exposed to the mist for too long especially if it starts to irritate you. We’ll all take turns.”“Easy for you to say—you get to stay in the clearing the whole time,” said Ghost.“I would take turns if I could. I’m sorry,” said Wilson.They carefully ventured out into the mist. Wilson charged up the lightning sword again to make the circle as large as possible. As they moved, their attention turned to

    If there is a chance behind that cold wall he is capable of feeling rejection, I don’t really want him to feel it from me. I don’t want to be the one who gave up. I will be careful, but right now I want him to know I want to try.So, I reach out and grasp his hand in mine.He smiles sleepily. “Much better”“You know his lips look a little cold too”“Levi!” Isaac grumbles.“I thought I was the wing man?” Levi shrugs.Isaac doesn’t look that upset...

    “Alright party people, lets get this show on the road!” I giggle nervously and nod before chancing a glance behind at Isaac . He meets my eyes looking tired but other wise emotionless. I eye him narrowly with a glare and let my frustration flood the link between us, unsure if he was even paying attention through that thick wall of his.Turning I adjust myself in my seat and pull out my phone to keep me busy on the drive.I had been working on my linking while my family was still here but with them gone and me not yet being a part of Isaac and Levi’s pack – if I ever become apart of it- I was unable to practice or use the link for the last few days. Only Isaac would be able to talk to me now and we both have been avoiding that.I imagine that the link or bond I have with Isaac works in a similar way to a pack link, and I could learn to keep him out if I try.

Bring what’s true in this discovered news.”He gives me a questioning look, and I didn’t miss that his neck is tense. “Why?”“Because I can’t.” I motion to my bonds.He gives me a cautious look, trying to determine if he can trust me. “Why?”“You literally have me chained to a bed, just trust me.” I say, glaring at him.Mike follows my instructions, nearly jumping out of his skin as the pages start smoking. “What are you doing Isaac ?”“Relax,” I say, the flames turning turquoise, signaling they’ve been received. When Kaelish accepts them, the flames dissipate, leaving the pages in their original state. I hand them back to him. “There, now it’s in Kaelish’s hands.”“How much magic do you actually know?” Mike asks, looking me over as if he’s seeing me for the first time.I shrug. “Almost everything.

    When I find them, huddled behind Isongarth’s statue, they are clearly talking about me. I’m in no mood to explain myself, though I really should tell Silas about Alier. That can wait until after my very much needed nap.I ignore their conversation and surprised expressions as I sit down cross legged next to Silas. Skipping past looking at them, slightly annoyed they’re talking about me, I pull out a sariah petal and wipe it against one of my bloody wounds. I lay it next to me and bring a trail of salt to it, linking the other spells. I look to Leo. “Repeat after me.”After he nods, I prick my finger and pour seawater over the new wound, right over the sariah petal I had just placed, chanting as I pour. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction.

    “I will see you again. I will find out what you’re up to Isaac . I didn’t know you knew this much about magic, so it’s going to take me a minute.”“I’m more than the girl that you keep trying to sink your teeth into.” I tell him, walking away from him. “I know more than fighting.”“Wait,” He grunts, trying to sit up. “Did you really know Elayna?”I look behind me, trying to keep my face cold. I hold up my hand and wipe off some blood from my wrists. I point to the healed dainty fang marks. “For two years I kept her alive with my blood. Every second of every day we were together. She was a sister to me, and I miss her terribly. Her death nearly destroyed me. I knew everything about her, except for most of her family. I knew she had brothers, but nothing more than that. She would shut down and close herself off whenever that topic was broached, and I knew it was because she was purposely distancing herself so not to hurt them.“Before you ask, she never did tell me about you.

    Well, I’m dead anyway. I walk into his room to quickly skim through his books. Nothing here can tell me what blasted spell he’s using. I need to think. Something here has to help me escape. I’ve read all of these books! I kick his bed as I try to think. Think Isaac , I shout internally as I try to slow my breathing. I kick his bed again and here a thump. I look under the bed and see Yvanna’s book. It was tucked underneath his mattress, pinned by a board. I grab it and tuck it into my bag as I try to think. I mean outside of using forbidden magic.Several hours later I’m still at a loss and trapped in this god forsaken room. The windows are sealed. His bedroom door is now locked. The only thing I can go into, is his adjoining bathroom. My head is resting against the warm wall while I sit on his surprisingly warm floor. I keep hitting my head against the wall as I try to think. Maybe if I pretend to be here waiting for him, like a loving mate, then he’ll let me off the hook. Nah.I hear
