CHAPTER 6

Sam stood on the shore, watching for any non-siren getting past the barrier. Nothing was happening. It was all intact. He could see the shimmer of the magical barrier, but it wasn’t going to hold. They were up to something, and he wanted more than anything to go find out what. But he had promised Whitney he’d stay back from the fighting for now. If he got killed, it would kill her, too, and all chance of asylum for the siren would be gone. He wanted to protect and save everyone, and right now the best way to do that was to stay back and let someone else investigate.

Nic dove into the water near him and gave him a wave as he took off to see what was going on. Sam wanted to be there beside his brother, but a promise was a promise.

Whitney had now been checking in with him almost every hour. He was delighted to find that the bond went two ways and he could talk to her when he needed to also. It was hard to hold back, though. He knew she was busy gathering hunters and making plans. Otherwise, he would be talking to her as he waited.

Sam was excited to begin a new life where they weren’t hunted. It actually seemed too good to be true, and he hadn’t yet told his father about it. What difference would it make if they died before it came to pass? For now, he wanted everyone to focus on their jobs. Everyone between the ages of sixteen and fifty were training to fight. The mothers and the children were busy fortifying the safe points in town and prepping everything for evacuation if it became an option. They were going to be ready.

Something was happening in the water. Sam wasn’t close enough to see, but something was going on. He waited on the pier and was going to decide what to do when his brother, Ken, came barreling down and jumped in before Sam could ask. That wasn’t a good sign. Ken was good with thinking and problem solving, not fighting. If he was going in the water, then something was really wrong. Without hesitating, Sam jumped in after Ken. He wasn’t going to let his one logical brother get hurt before the war even started. They needed his smarts if they were going to stand any chance.

Underwater, Sam easily caught up to his brother. Ken didn’t look back at him as he raced off to a specific spot. Ken suddenly came to a halt. Sam stopped beside his brother and glanced around. There had to be a reason why he stopped. Ken didn’t do anything without a reason. What was his brother up to?

Nic hadn’t been the nicest brother to Sam, but none of them had. Sam was the youngest, and while he didn’t notice, his father favored him. Sam believed that being sent to another ocean for his coming of age journey was because his father didn’t want him, but it turned out to be the opposite.
