Miguel is shooting off electricity at everyone he can hit before he engages in hand-to-hand combat. He takes down a good chunk of the enemy. However, a brute of a man gets too close and he has no choice but to pull his knife and start to fight him.
Tala, the beast that she is, is casting spell after spell. She spots the warlock off to the side chanting and before I can do anything she shifts into a black wolf that would rival the size of Ryder and Hunter. She pounces on him and knocks him to the ground then lifts her massive paw, her nails protracted, and slashes him across the chest, carving out a chunk of it, leaving him in a pool of blood before transforming back. I’m caught off guard when she shifts back, still fully clothed.
That brief moment I lost focus left me open for an attack. One that comes in full force, by a blast of wind that sends me flying back into a tree, knocking all the air from my lungs as I fall to the ground. My head begins to pound instantly. Reaching up, running my hand over the back of my head, I feel something wet. Pulling my hand back, I see blood. Fuck! I need to get it together and get back out there.
Looking across the field, I see Kael in a battle of magic with two witches dancing around him, one chanting a spell, while the other is forming a ball of fire in his hand. Tala catches it before me and immediately starts chanting as well. The next thing I know, both go up in flames.
What the fuck is this woman? There is going to be a serious conversation when this is all done.
Shaking it off, I get up and take off at a sprint across the field and begin using my magic to fling anything earth-related I can at them.Bingo!Seeing a pile of rocks to the side, I’m ecstatic I’ve found my new weapon. Heading towards them, I pick them up one at a time and lunge them at anyone I can see. Some of the witches are able to deflect them or move out of the way while fortunate for me, others are not, and I’m able to pierce four directly through the heart.
Kael has a witch pinned working in unison with Miguel as he stabs him over and over in rage, finally placing his hand on his head and shooting him with a jolt of electricity so powerful I can see him convulsing underneath him.
Looking around, I can’t find Tala until I see one of the witches fighting against some massive bird on his face. The fucker is huge, almost the size of a small car, and I’ve never seen anything like it before. It takes off into the sky with the witch's face gripped in its talons. The bird keeps going up until it's no longer visible and all I hear is the blood-curdling screams from its prey.
The bird comes swooshing down and lands on the ground, nothing in its talons until a body splats down on the ground beside it, the witch. The bird immediately shifts and fuck me sideways.Tala!
Getting my head back in the game, I see there are only four witches left and take off, ready to take them down with my allies. I really wish I knew what was going on everywhere else.
Chapter 22
Sebastian
Wehearthehowland Jack shifts long enough to tell me that it was a pack member. They have witches who can do teleportation spells. They are now inside the inner perimeter. He shifts back at the same time a group teleports in front of us. There are about fifteen to twenty in this group.
Fuckers planned a coordinated attack. Distract us at the wards while they try to break in, then start bringing the others inside. Shit, it’s what we would do, divide and conquer. Too fucking bad we didn't think about them coming up with the same plan.
Landry takes off at a sprint toward the group while Beba begins her mimic ability with Shay’s fire power, picking off all the ones she can, and sending them up in flames. I see one fucker sneaking up on her and I take off, thankful for the speed that comes with being a vampire. He’s facing her, so he never sees me coming until I’m yanking him by the shoulder, swinging his body around. I give him a sinister smirk before baring my fangs and sinking them into his neck. He fights, but that only allows me to drain his blood faster, before dropping his limp body to the ground.
I hear them before I see them. I know the smell of fae man anywhere and they’re headed to help us. Landry comes racing past me with a huge as fuck bird I’ve never seen before, flying above him.What in the everloving fuck is that? Shit, I hope it’s on our side.
Miguel and Damien come running up to me, laughing when they see my stunned face, even though we're in this fucked up battle.
“She’s a fucking beast, isn’t she?” Kael asks with a smirk.
“Who?”
“The huge ass bird. It’s Tala,” Miguel states matter-of-factly as he moves into the fray, zapping the fuckers when he gets close to them.
Tala being a bird is a question for later, as more fuckers begin to teleport in. I need to get my head back in the game. I jump in, sinking my teeth into every follower of Maverick’s dad that I can.
I don’t know what’s happening or how they keep coming, but for everyone we take down, it seems someone has taken their place. We’re each fighting two or three at a time, losing the battle until our reinforcements appear.
Ryder comes barreling across the field like a wolf on a mission, Hunter close on his heels. Once they meet the mass of witches, and warlocks they split, each going in an opposite direction as they take down an opponent. Shay appears out of thin air beside me with Miles, and both start shooting blasts of fire at them.
“Shay, how about a hand? Pop me behind that big ass fucker over there that Kael has pinned,” Miles rushes out as he grabs Shay’s arm.
“Okay,” she replies, and just like that, they’re gone and reappear across the way, right where Miles wanted to go.
It still astounds me when I see her do it. Miles reaches up from behind the big ass brute and places his hands on either side of his temple. You can see the sparks from his electricity as he electrifies his brain.
Time to get back to work. I run full force toward the two witches chanting. I don’t know what they’re cooking up, but I’m going to put an end to it. I take off in a flash, making it to them in just mere seconds, reaching out I take one by the head, twisting it until her neck snaps, tossing her to the side. The other is loyal. Anyone else would have run or taken a stance to protect themself. Not this one; she’s still steadily chanting. One that needs to be stopped because I don’t have a fucking clue what she’s trying to conjure or perform.
Grabbing her by the shoulders, I toss her to the ground and drop down with my knee on her chest, pinning her in place.
“You’ll never stop him. They belong to him and he’s come to take them,” the witch laughs maniacally.
“That’s not happening,” comes from me harshly as I push my knee deeper into her chest, making it harder for her to breathe,
