Raven Eye Records

A passing grade for two major subjects was hard enough... but with serial eyes watching closely in every turn and corners? It was never about school and graduation anymore.

Mitch tossed her last smoke grenade, obscuring the figures in black's line of sight before dashing around a sharp corner in the rain-slicked alley. Echoes of hurried footsteps and shadows revealed an exhausted, frantic group of teens fleeing from the agile figures in crow masks.

"I'm out of stuff!" Mitch yelled.

"Targets locked on sight!" growled the alpha of the masked figures into a radio.

"Initiate Bird Cage. Detain 18-1-22-5-14 at all costs!" crackled the reply, interrupted by static.

While one figure lagged, two pairs scurried up the walls with a nightmarish grace. Four more, forming a diamond-like formation, flanked the alpha like a coordinated wolf pack. Mitch, startled by their precision, urged, "Use any disruptions you can!"

The alpha raised a hand, signaling a devastating assault of flames, lightning, earth chunks, and plasma bolts.

Luna and Remon split, using prismatic energy to glide along the walls, narrowly avoiding the onslaught. Remon faltered, nearly hit, but Rune quickly pulled her to safety.

"We need to make it to Unilav Street for our checkpoint!" Mitch gasped, her breath shallow as they sprinted towards their elusive goal.

Not until those non-adventurous days grew thorns.
