Moments later, two men came out, hands up, eyes wide as the saw us.
Handcuff your right hands to each other, I compelled them, noticing that they both donned on the security guard’s uniforms but they had kept their weapons. It was clear that they weren’t weapons issued to security guards; government facility or not. If asked, all is clear and you didn’t see us.
They mechanically handcuffed their right hands to each other as one of the radios went off. “Section 1, come in,” the male voice squawked over the walkie talkie clipped to their waist.
“Go ahead,” both men said in a monotone voice.
“How’s it look?” the voice asked brusquely.
“All clear,” both men responded simultaneously once more.
Troy nodded at me with a smile. Drake grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I could feel his nervousness emanating from him. It had been some time since we had been on a mission with this many people, and the last mission we were on hadn’t ended well.
We proceeded to go inside, trusting Herman and the Illinois guy to let us know when someone was around us. I heard a chirp in my ear.
“Good morning, Remy, Jace, Troy, Noah, Drake, Jaxson, and Blake. Long time no see,” I heard a cool detached voice say in my ear.
It took me a moment to realize that the voice belonged to Zach Young. A sharp pain in my head proceeded his greeting. I saw the others around me double over in pain, clutching their heads. I could hear the keening wail of someone in the distance.
“It’s a trap, get out of there,” I heard Will demand in our ears.
Zach made a loud tsking sound in our ear pieces. “I’m afraid it’s too late. In less than two minutes you’ll be surrounded by fifty of our finest. It’s time you stopped meddling where you aren’t welcome.”
“Get out everyone,” I heard Jace demand as I looked up and saw blood pouring out of the ears and nose of one of our operatives. “Return to the rendezvous.”
We stumbled backwards. I saw Drake and Gavin grab ahold of the teacher from our team and begin dragging her off. As we exited the building, I could see a line of vehicles advancing towards us.
The other teams arrived around us near the tree line, just as we began getting attacked. The man beside me convulsed as if he were being electrocuted. Dawn yelped in pain as thin lines of blood sprouted from her exposed body parts. An invisible attacker had caught up with her.
“Show yourself!” I demanded as Marcus started to look around in confusion, determined to help his friend and teammate.
I gasped. The child couldn’t be more than thirteen years old but the blood lust was in his eyes. I looked around as more of enemy converged upon us. A majority of them were young teens. Only a handful of them were adults.
I stumbled back into Drake. “They’re children!” I gasped in horror, momentarily stunned at their viscous attacks.
“We can’t attack them,” Jaxson gasped as he grabbed my hand.
My gift began to buzz within me. It was demanding to be unleashed. I felt the warmth begin at my feet and spready rabidly through my body. It knew the danger I was in. It knew the danger we were in.
“Stop!” I screamed in my head as I heard our helicopters arriving. I pushed my thoughts harder than
I ever had at the attackers.
I yelped as I felt my gift unleash.
“Grab her!” I heard Sierra scream just as one by one the teens around us froze, powerless to resist my gift.
I felt my connections surround me and immediately felt my gift rein in. A kaleidoscope of colors surrounded us. I heard the gasp around us.
“We need to go,” Terrance insisted in a voice full of awe.
“Go,” Jace insisted. “We’ll stay here until everyone is loaded up.”
“Jeremy,” Dawn cried out as she clutched her bleeding arm.
I looked around and noticed Ford was missing.
“Where’s Ford?” Terrance asked as he looked around wildly.
