As soon as Sky heard the growl of the Range Rover, he knew the hunters had arrived. He was planning on leaving in the middle of the night when the Boppel’s were fast asleep, but the threat of capture or assault made him jump up from his chair and hurriedly finish his packing.

Instead of neatly packing away his books, he just threw them in a bag. Things like photo albums, personal journals, and memory cards had to go with him. If he managed to escape, he couldn’t leave those items behind. The photo albums would no doubt reveal many of Samhain Island’s monsters that masqueraded as humans, and the journals and drives contained too much information in them.

He shoved on his leather jacket with the fur ling and wrapped a scarf around his neck. He could now hear voices. He stuffed a few bottles of water, a few pieces of fruit, and some pumpkin bread into his bag. He heard the sound of his front door opening. He looked over his bookcase, making sure he packed all of his secrets away, and then took the duffel bag and hid in the corner behind a black chair.

He heard a thumping below, like someone coming up the stairs. The noise was getting louder, the hunters coming closer. Skyler regretted living in a place with only one entrance. He zipped up his bag, turned off a nearby lamp, and unlocked the balcony door. He crouched down in the corner.

Sky could now hear their voices. They were murmurs, and then it was quiet. Sky could see three figures rush up to the third floor, their backs to each other. The one he recognized as René held a gun pointed to the kitchen area, and the leader, Zac, faced his sleeping area with a flashlight. “Alright, thing, come out of your hiding place and turn yourself over.” Miss Vargas and Skyler locked eyes. She blinked, and turned away. Please help me, Sky thought.

Sky concentrated on forming an apparition. By the time the Zac shined the flashlight in his direction, a hideous monster with glowing eyes was staring right into the light. René shouted, and fired his gun.

Skyler almost lost control over the projection from the ear piercing sound of the gun. The apparition shook and trembled, but Skyler made it move, and it came closer to the hunters. The gun fired again, away from Sky. With the distracted hunters, he swung open the doors and quickly stepped on his balcony.

“Over there!” Zac shouted.

Sky gasped, and fled to the side of the deck. René shot a bullet in his direction, shattering the glass of the balcony door. He had no time to think about his ruined house as he jumped over the railing and lowered himself to hang from the balcony. When one of the hunters came outside, Skyler decided he had no choice but to jump down to the lower roof of the Boppel’s apartment. It was too far away, causing a hard fall, but he had at least landed on the roof and not another story down.
