“Angels in the air!” a girl screamed and the group of mutants in the courtyard started to panic. “Don’t panic! We need to be strong!” Nikolai started to scream, but couldn’t make himself heard as the black mist turned into a thick fog and made it hard to see any further than ten feet in front. Charlie grabbed Scarlett’s hand firmly and pulled her back beside him to make sure that he wouldn’t lose her and to keep her from doing anything stupid. “They won’t listen! We are just going to get slaughtered if this keeps up!” Nikolai grumbled, frustrated. “I’ve never heard of the Vulkans using this kind of method of attack. It seems like it would be dangerous for their warriors, too…” Harkens said to no one in particular as he stared at the ground. …show more content…
Get as many people as you can to the roofs of these buildings and prepare to fight for your life! I’ll meet you up there in a second!” Nikolai shouted to Charlie as a small group of Academy angels shot into the darkness. Charlie pulled Scarlett with him and they grabbed everyone they could get their hands on and ran to the rooftops. Once they got into the building they stopped for a quick breath and Scarlett stared blankly out the window at the pitch blackness. “Just a second ago, it was a bright sunny day…” she mumbled and was visibly shaken. “I know, babe. Come on. Let’s get this over with; a new episode of Vampire Diaries is on tonight,” Charlie winked at Scarlett who smirked and jogged after him. They ran up the stairs first, but froze in their tracks when they opened the doors to see Lucille, Seamus, and Addison standing there in a little group. “Go! Get around the edges and watch the skies!” Charlie ordered everyone and they all scattered out as Charlie and Scarlett walked up to Lucille. “What are you doing here?” Charlie demanded. “Well, this is my school, isn’t it? It seems like I should be the one asking you that,” she smirked at …show more content…
Grab my hand!” Scarlett braced herself firmly on the roof before sticking her hand out for Addison to grab. It reached only a few inches from where Addison’s hands were slipping from. Addison looked up at Scarlett with a mixture of confusion and fear in her eyes. Her blue-green eyes stared up at Scarlett with tears streaking from them. Her light-pink lips trembled as she debated on what to do. “Come on, Addison! Let me pull you up! For God’s sake, you’re only eighteen!” Scarlett pleaded. “You just don’t want my blood on your hands. How do I know that you’re not going to just drop me?” Addison snapped and tried to sound secure, but her voice was shaking as her body swayed roughly in the choppy winds. “You don’t! You can either fall to your death here or you can take a chance and see if I will save you. It’s your choice Addison, because I have other real friends that could use my help right now,” Scarlett said with sorrow dripping from her words. Addison gulped and stared at her hands for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Please catch me,” she whispered and thrust her hand up to merely skim Scarlett’s fingertips. Addison’s eyes widened as she started to fall, time seemed to slow as Scarlett screamed desperately grabbed at the air. Addison couldn’t help but think back about…
“You see?” repeated Benjamin, an air of nervousness plaguing his tone. “I have them—at last. Do you see?”
“Hi Crisofer. I’m Charlie, this is Scarlett, and that’s Cameron. The guy lying on the floor is Trent, but let’s not go into details about him right now,” Charlie shot Scarlett a glance.
“No? Have it your way. I doubt they’re greedy—that honor thing again. Something in which I once believed—honor not the Warrior’s path. Killing I learned from our master. They won’t be easily corrupted. Our master will need to find another way to make use of them.”
"That's ridiculous. How would that hurt them when all of our weapons have done nothing?"
Standing by his dresser with his hands on his face coming down till his right hand is holding his right arm. She notices his anxious look and tries to comfort him, “Coop it’s not your fault we both didn’t want this to happen but it did. Don’t think of me as an enemy, if it means putting an end to this we can’t be like before. Looking at Regan he nods his head but stays quiet
“And you weren’t planning on telling me or saving me from that monster? Do you know what he’s done to me? He’s beat me, he’s starved me, he’s used me to be his little alcohol maid and you’re just saving yourself from him, leaving your own daughter?” She continued to screech, putting. “Just look at these scars and bruises,” Chloe pulled down her sweatshirt, so her neck and back could be seen.
“You know for a fact he’s better than you. Maybe if you spent more time being around with him you wouldn’t be doing so badly in school!”She knew our conversation had ended and made her way to the front door.
“Why would they do that? They have to know we have enough firepower here to destroy the-Oh sranje. They’re trying to get the central computer.” Arten muttered. “All tank commanders, go get those four tanks. If we don’t, we’re screwed.”
Finley's breath caught in her throat, memory after memory of her senior year crashed into her mind. They all flickered in bright flashes behind her eyes. Her breathing became shallow, and her eyes fluttered fully closed as she tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.
The Southern belle had never peeled her gaze away for a moment, and in Hannah’s book, that was enough to proceed. “Tell me something, did that get you as excited as it got me?” she asked quietly, her hands now running along her smooth skin, which was only interrupted by the slightly stained lingerie she still wore.
“Didn’t you just see what he did? If he was able to pin me against the wall when I was going about half speed, then he can fight a Vulkan Collector,” Nikolai growled.
“I 'll take it from here” said Charlie. The flock took a could steps back as Charlie
“You have to get over it someday.” he said as he claimed the sandy spot next to her. Orion just stared into the horizon, occasionally catching the smooth movements of the sea. She shuddered
“Tyler I don’t think you should do this,” Rosalyn whispered. She was biting her nails and trying to avoid eye contact with him. The state of anxiety she was in along with purple bruise on her cheek only confirmed why Tyler felt he had no choice.
“Can I talk to my sister for a moment?” I grabbed Haylee by her sweatshirt and pulled her to the side.
