Creatures of the Night

Duodecim (12)

It feels like we've been walking on circles in the tunnel because everything looks the same. Myers has been talk but I haven't been paying much attention. I'm too focused on finding Nyx. She's alone in this damn maze.

"So he thinks you and I...That's why he's mad at me. But it's not true, right?"

"What? What are you talking about?" I said looking back at John.

"Well that, you know, you feel that way about me."

"You want to know that here?Now?" I asked stopping in my tracks.

"Yeah."

"Listen John. That day that Nyx went in my place so I could talk to HB, I was telling him that we were better off as just friends. He's in love with someone else." I explained as I walked away with the other agent.

"Hey, wait up." I heard John yell as we finally made to the end of the tunnel. My eyes went wide when I saw the massive amount of eggs and the creatures called Sammael.

"Liz, wait."

"Oh, my God." I whispered. The creatures were all staring at us as the other agent fiddled with the grenade belt.

"Let's back out real slow. Real slow. Myers, ready your grenades." Suddenly the other agent was knocked away and attacked by 2 Sammaels. The doorway behind us immediately sealed.

"Marco. Marco. Marco." I said in to the radio calling for Red, "Get your big, red butt over here."

"I'm comin' for ya kid!" I heard over the radio. As stones fell from the ceiling the creatures slowly came towards us.

My back touched the stone door just as the ceiling collapsed and HB fell through. I watched my best friend go on the attack against these monsters but they were getting the better of him. There was just too many of them. I needed to help him!

"Liz, no!" John said holding me back.

"They're gonna kill him! Do something!"

"What do you want me to do?" He asked frantically.

"Hit me."

"What?" He questioned.

"Hit me. Now!" Myers brought up his hand quickly and slapped me hard in the face.

I felt the fire within me come to the surface and my hand burst into flames. I looked right at Myers with anger in my eyes.

"You should be running." Myers did as I said and hid behind a cluster of rocks while my body was completely engulfed with blue flames.

I stepped into the water and it parted with the sheer force of my power. I focused on the creatures attacking my friend before the flames went forward and burnt every single one of them along with the eggs but I couldn't control it. I tried hard to force it down but it didn't work. The flames shot in all directions creating a wave of supersonic power before I passed out.

I felt nothing for only a few seconds as I began to regain consciousness. That's when I heard the sound of a woman with a German accent. Then I began to feel something around my neck and arms. I opened my eyes and looked around. The chains behind me rattled and a growl entered my ears. I looked towards the growling to see Nyx's wolf form. It looked like something was wrong with her.
