I stand my ground despite getting suddenly weak from the hit, using a lot of force as my last resort to get out of the grip of the one behind me. And with a quick motion, I elbow him in the face.
Still, I was in the middle of the two, with a kick being aimed at my guts. I respond to the attack by blocking with my left hand and snappily using the cosmic ability at the same time. It clearly hurt him as he has to withdraw his leg from mine without wasting time, his skin revealing from the ripped part of his clothing.
But I was too distracted with fending him off that my mind went off the fact that I still had one behind me. It wasn’t until I was sent to the ground with a kick to the back of my head did I realize this was becoming more difficult than I bargained for.
The same thing happened again with the one behind me trying to get the bag off me as I lay on the ground with my face to it. Swiftly, I grab his arm with
Impulsively, I start to move back at the sight of the man that had ordered Garrett to stop what he intended doing. Even before my eyes caught the sight of the man, I had begun to tremble in fear of being seen by someone else from the pack when I should have been lowkey all through. Damn the bastards that attacked. Garrett already has his head turned around to stare at the approaching man and that was why he could not tell that I have started to walk away from the scene. Apparently, it would be useless if I would try to outrun either Garrett or the approaching man in this situation, knowing how well they could catch up with me in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t until our eyes collide, and I’m talking about the man, did I stop. It was momentarily, though, as I was right back on the backward steps in no time. “Where are you going?” Garrett was looking right at me as he finally realized what I was doing.
It’s not like Garrett and I knew nothing about it, but the beta’s claim affirms the theory totally. We were made targets for the books, but who would mastermind such a thing?“Do you know why they came for them?” Garrett threw a question at the beta who looks from side to side for a while.“For obvious reasons,” the beta says. “They were here to possibly destroy any evidence that links to why the whole conspiracy began. Hired, actually. Come, let me show you two something,”And that was when the beta starts to walk off until he stops over one of the victims of Garrett’s massacre. Following that, he bends such that he was squatting and supposedly starts to examine the body.I give Garrett a look who reciprocates it with one and we were both off to where the beta was to see what he has for us.“You see this mark here,&rdqu
Five hours straight, and it almost seemed I have found myself in a classroom. What have I been doing during those periods other than going over the books that could lead to the supposed conspiracy from the big reveal of yesterday? Pretty serious, I know. The attack on me and Garrett who had led me to his territory should be the biggest highlight of yesterday, but what it made me find out eventually made it less significant. Although it was sort of a piece in a puzzle, it didn’t weigh a tad bit to the reveal. Getting fed up already, I peel my eyes off the book I am practically skimming through. The second one in hours. When I look up, I come in sight with Garrett sitting across me with his mind completely on his version of the documentation. If I had at least a bit of his concentration, I probably would have finished with the one I have with me. “What’s on your mind?” I do not know how long I have been staring in Ga
A sudden double knock on the door. And another a few seconds later.It’s only been a few minutes since Garrett and I went silent after he gave me the contents of the book he was reading from which we most likely have deciphered the meaning to already. And because of that, the incoming knock felt like it was linked to the revelation.Exchanging a look with Garrett when the knock comes in for the third time, I realize it could be for someone else, especially when Garrett looks at me weirdly.“Well, are you going to get the door?” Garrett asks, apparently expecting me to do the necessary.“I don’t know,” I say in a tone close to a mutter. “I’m getting bad vibes from it. More like someone is here to haunt us,”“You really think someone would hit you or something as soon as you get the door opened? Is that what you’re s
Asides from the keywords, I would sum up Luke’s explanation to be a load of jargon. Terms I was finding difficult to understand. But I did grab the main point of it all. An anonymous source was destroying evidence of my pack’s existence.Garrett suddenly asks Luke, “Did you get the rest of the data to serve as proof that the council hasn’t been doing their jobs right?”“Yeah,” Luke nods, “I have it saved in my drive. The drive is right here with me,” and he taps the cross bag that he has with him while speaking.I notice Garrett staring at me so I stare right back, but he takes his gaze off the moment I do so.“Have you made any progress with the books?” Luke speaks up after about a minute of silence has reigned in the air.Garrett was quick to respond. “Yes,” he says, “My father documented in thi
We ran like our lives depended on it... because they did.How Garrett got the strength to hold on to his unconscious friend without his speed being affected surprises me. Funny enough, he was still in his human form, which makes me rather curious as to how he was doing it.Something tells me he chose not to transform because he knew I would be unable to keep up with his speed. If it had not been for the weight on him limiting his speed, which I’m sure is intentional, then there would be no catching up with him for me.I was right ahead of him, straining my ears at the same time to know if I would hear anything or anyone on our tails. But all the while, I’ve got nothing.The reason we were running right through the woods after escaping my now dead grandma’s house was that the backyard of the apartment was connected to the woods. She had her apartment right among those in the outskirt
I guess whatever you run from keeps coming back to you. Like an addiction or so. You tell yourself you do not want to do it anymore, you do not want a part of it again. But at the end of the day, you find yourself in it again.That is just like my chronicles with the Green Woods pack since I escaped from it a few weeks ago. For two different reasons, I’ve had to come back. And those two reasons were really worth the risk. If one has a connection with the topmost body, why wouldn’t it come easy to penetrate a place you should be dreading?This time around, it took a lot of mental convincing that I needed to be here. Two days ago when I had been here with Garrett for the books, what had happened after that was something I wouldn’t want to be repeated. And I’m talking about the two events that nearly got me killed.The main reason I accepted to be here was that I have nowhere else to run to after my
It was stuffy in here, so much that I was finding it hard to breathe. Imagine being put inside a space that doesn’t fit the size of your body but you have to squeeze yourself in it so you can stay at least comfortable. And to add to that discomfort, a load of clothes is used to cover the whole of your body.Just as it seems ridiculous right now to think of was the same way I had frowned upon it when I was told it was the way I would be positioned before I could go out with the boys as planned. Luke, whose car was being used to transport us to our destination, had directly told me I would be going with them in the bunker, adding that it was the only option to take so I won’t be caught on the way. I would say he was following Garrett’s way of stating I should stay hidden.The only reason I agreed eventually was because I didn’t want to end up walking to the place. It was much of a distance away from the Green Woods pack
Life was slowly seeping out of him right before my eyes, with silent grunts escaping his lips. Just like that, his ability has completely vanished from his hands as he put them down slowly. The hand that went through his chest is pulled back slowly to reveal a hole right there with a lot of blood dripping from the open wound. I wouldn’t know what to call that because it was akin to doom in my opinion. When he goes down to his knees, I get a clear picture of who committed the act on the elder. “Monica?” I whisper because I cannot speak out loud. But it was more than likely to get the attention of the dark-haired lady standing behind the elder. She was the last person I would expect to be here. Not even in my wildest dreams would I see her lending a hand in such a situation. We might have let her in on a bit of our plan but I never imagined she would follow up in some way. Her gaze was aimed di
I burst the doors open, and the first sight I catch is that of two lifeless bodies on the ground. They looked like that of the guards I had seen when I had arrived here hidden in Garrett’s car. But what I know is that their being down was not my doing. I might have been in a clash with those agents but I did not extend it to this point.What was left for me now was to figure out which direction that monster had run through. He would be long gone by now, which I am sure of after using some time inside beforehand. If I had my hyper sense, I would have traced his scent but that cannot be possible at this moment.I can rely on my instincts now and so got down from the balcony of the building. The woods on the side of the main route wasn’t as thick as the regular woods so I could see through it. Nothing caught my fancy, though but it meant I was not going to acknowledge that path. After thinking for a few seconds, I proceed to go with
The dark power being exhibited by the elder was thought to be aimed at his fellow elders who already have accepted that he was going to harm them. But it went past them when released, going straight into a dark area of the room behind them. Others would have thought it was crazy but the elder had something in mind that he wanted to accomplish with that.The force he had shot into the dark area yielded a result as before it crashed into the place, out came a being from it who rolled on the floor to get away from the impending doom. And when that happened, the elder got his hands ready for another shot of his abilities.“She’s here...” loud gasps escaped the lips of the other two elders that he initially should have attacked as they observed the intruder that he had lured out of the dark area.It was a lady. And this became a full discovery when she raised her head to look at them while she remained knee-
From where I had thought I made a surprise lethal attack, I widened my eyes in shock at what I was seeing. My attack had been stopped, but not just by any means. It was through the same way I had thrown out mine — a gifted ability.Time seemed to freeze at the very least. My head seemed to be throbbing as a bad headache was at the point of developing. I just couldn’t comprehend the sight and I swear I could burst my head open from having to.The crazy thing about the event was who had stopped the beam I had shot out of my hands. Literally, it was to the very person I had in mind which only happened out of impulse after surviving an attack just outside. Because I could tell it was the Western Border elder’s men that had almost finished me off yet again, I wanted to retaliate, not considering the later consequences. But who would have thought it would yield the unexpected of events.There was something da
The moment Garrett ‘barged’ into the inner room of the building alongside Luke, four pairs of eyes rained on him. Belonging to the supposed occupants of the building, the gazes screamed anger, more than likely to pressure a vulnerable being.Something about the way they were stern-looking said they were in the middle of an important discussion and they were clearly not pleased with the fact that they have been intruded upon. But Garrett, who was the culprit of their frowns, pretended like he saw none of what they were displaying.“What is the meaning of this, Garrett? Didn’t the guards tell you we are in the middle of a meeting?” one of the four told the nonchalant young man, exuding much of his angry reaction toward him in the process.“They did,” Garrett said as he finally walked to their fronts, “but I can assure you that what you are having now won’t be as importa
