Strong One

Chapter 34

Griffin POV

Ryker tears a strip from his t-shirt and then ties it around the neck of the bottle.  Then doing the same with the other one.  "Ready pop?" he links "yes" pop answers.

Ryker loosens the top of the gas tank and then holds it towards Ethan.  He breathes out and the material ignites.  "Now" Ryker links.  He steps out and throws the gas tank towards the house occupied by the men.  Ryker's tank crashes through a window before exploding.

"Doors blocked" someone reports as the second explosion from pops gas tank explodes. "Slow throw, Pop" Ryker says as he holds up the second tank to Ethan.  He blows on the material tied to it.  Then Ryker, stretches his arm bank and throws it.  This one flies through the air slower.  The gas escaping ignites and it looks like fire is being directed towards the house occupied by the men.

I listen intently and hear the buzzing sound as well as the cries and screams coming from the house.  "Move" dad calls and we all turn and run in the direction, we came from.  I see the other warriors also running.  "Take the ally, the ally" dad orders.  We turn to the right and run down between the buildings.  Soren still has us cloaked.  It's only Ryker the warriors can see.

"Warriors you know the plan.  We'll see you back home. Be safe" dad says as different cars pull up and they get in and drive off.  "We will go back and pack.  We will be flying back home. Sorry Soren, Conall" he adds.

Ethan let's Soren out and we climb up quickly onto his back. He stays low flying towards the rental house.  Conall takes dad back.  Once back inside the house, Ethan and I run up to our room.  Ethan wrapping a towel around his waist as I pull on new clothes.  It doesn't take us long, to pack our things.  Pop puts the packed luggage in the vehicle parked in the driveway and we hear it being driven away.  Ryker takes the subs left and another ready-made formula bottle.  He gives a bag to his dad and then gives me the other one.

We then go out into the back garden again.  "See you back home.  We'll be making a stop at Daniels pack" dad says hugging us all.  Pop hugs us then puts his towel over a garden chair and shifts.  They take off first.  Ethan, then takes off his towel.  Soren emerges and again lets us climb up into his back.  Ryker wraps Kieryn into the inside of the jacket he has put on.  I snuggle into his back.  Wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Sleep, Fin, Kieryn.  I've got you" Ryker says.  I lean my head against his broad shoulders.   I feel Kieryn snuggling into his chest.  "Soren, if you get tired, we can stop and rest for a bit" he adds.  I close my eyes and let myself fall to sleep.

I don't wakeup until I feel us land. Smelling the familiar scents, makes my eyes pop open.  We are back in our clearing.  Ryker helps me down off Soren's back.  Takes off his jacket and places it around Ethan's shoulders as he shifts back.

"Well done, Soren" Ryker says as we head back towards the pack house.  We go to our stairs leading to the deck.  "Welcome back, your door is open" we hear through the link. "Thanks Jed. I'm going to get my head down for a couple of hours then I'll catch up with you" I hear Ryker say to his dads second.

"Fin if your hungry eat the subs. Give Kieryn a bottle too will you.  I can barely keep my eyes open" Ryker tells me.  Ethan looks just as wasted as we walk back into our home.  Ryker passes Kieryn to me patting his head.  Then pats my head and walks to the bedroom.  We get kissed by Ethan before he too turns and walks towards the bedroom.

"I'm too knackered to get a shower" I hear Ryker says stripping from his clothes.  I sit Kieryn at the table and warm up his bottle of formula.  The take a knife and plate to cut up one of the subs we bought for us.  "Well, I think that went well really.  But thinking of those missiles scare me a little" I admit to myself.
