Addie

he blasts flew towards her faster, and with more fury; Addie’s skin burned from where hot shards of stone had pierced it.

Come on, Addie. You didn’t come all this way to have your fanny handed to you by a psychopath. If you think you have powers, now’s the time to prove it.

“How much longer do you think you can keep running around in circles, Adamina? There’s nowhere for you to go so you may as well surrender,” the voice of her pursuer taunted from the other side of the orb, only momentarily out of sight.

He doesn’t care if he can’t see me. He thinks I’m trapped.

Addie placed her fingers tips on her temples, willing her brain to pull itself together and focus.

What if there was a way out, because I made it so?

Not allowing any room for doubt, Addie placed her hands on the rocky wall and imagined a tunnel. Within seconds, she had to catch herself from falling as the wall before her vanished, leaving in its wake a way out. Addie didn’t look back as she darted down the tunnel, hoping to get as far away as she could before he realized she was no longer trapped. Yet she hadn’t gotten far when she heard his voice hurtling down the tunnel towards her.

“Two can play at this game, Adamina!”

Suddenly, there were skeletal hands reaching from the walls, pulling at her hair and tugging at her clothing. For every step she took, the number of reaching hands seemed to double until she could hardly move at all. As Addie fought and struggled, her heart thundering in her chest as hot tears of panic pricked her eyes, the man behind her whistled a tune. She yelled in frustration, straining with all her might, but she was stuck.

There was a flash of white light, forcing Addie to close her eyes and turn her head away. When she looked up again an enormous wolf bounded towards her. Her eyes widened as she tried to free herself and get out of its way, but it was no use. As it leaped into the air, Addie squeezed her eyes shut and prayed it would be quick. She was knocked to the ground, and she groaned in agony for a moment before registering that she was free from the ghoulish hands that had bound her. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she looked on in awe as the growling creature ripped the hands from their rocky sockets before spitting them across the floor.

“What do you think you’re doing here?” The man scowled as he came to a stop about ten feet away from them, his legs shoulder width apart and his fists clenched at his sides.

The wolf growled in response, deep and guttural.

Addie shuffled backwards as quietly as she could, wanting to get as far from both of them as she could. Yet, she also felt compelled to stay. The wolf had freed her.

There’s something about its eyes…

The man raised his hands up, a lighting ball forming between his fingertips.
