Chapter Eleven

Pain rocketed through Sabin. He groaned.

He felt the wet slide of blood down his side. He was hanging upside-down in the vehicle, and the windshield was shattered. He turned his head and saw Kaira beside him, caught up in her own belt. She wasn’t moving. But when he strained, he heard the beat of her heart.

“Roberts?”

There was no answer from the back.

Then Sabin heard a low screech outside.

Cren.

He formed a knife on his arm but his helian was sluggish, too focused on healing his injuries. He clumsily slashed and cut the belt, and his body dropped. He shoved against the mangled door and managed to climb out.

He glanced down and saw metal sticking out of his skin. Cren. He was bleeding badly. He was about to pull the piece of debris out of his side when he detected movement.

Not far away, three stalkers eyed him, slinking closer, their antennae quivering.

Cren. He let the knife morph into a sword. He had to protect Kaira and Roberts.

The first bug leaped.

Sabin lunged and slashed with his sword across the Kantos. It hit the dirt with a spray of green blood.

The others shifted uneasily.

Where were the assassins? He couldn’t risk checking the sky, because as soon as he took his gaze off the bugs they’d attack. He hoped Finley was locked down and safe.

A second bug darted forward. He swung his sword and dodged. Its mandible snapped together.

Sabin shifted again, and pain roared through his injured side.

A stalker charged.

Sabin sidestepped, and brought his sword down.

The bug screeched and raced away. He’d hurt it, but it wasn’t a life-threatening wound. The others had disappeared into the darkness.

Wincing, he gripped the metal chunk in his side and yanked it out. He groaned, fighting to stay conscious.

The injured bug eyed him, clearly sensing his weakness. Then, he heard a noise behind him.

He glanced around and saw a third bug circling around, heading toward the vehicle. Coming after Kaira and Roberts.

“Get away!” Sabin leaped over the tangled ruin of the vehicle and slammed his sword down. He skewered the bug and it wriggled on the blade.

He reached over and wrenched the door off the side of the SUV, then stopped to fight off a wave of dizziness.

He reached in and cut Kaira free.

Gripping her arms, he pulled her out, ignoring his pain. He lifted her, gritting his teeth, and set her on top of the overturned vehicle. Next, he reached farther in and pulled an unconscious Roberts out of the back.

He glanced over and saw that the injured bug was watching, waiting for something. Probably the assassins.

Then he heard a noise in the darkness. A skittering sound.

He hefted Roberts beside Kaira.

Sabin saw the first spider. Then another. Then another. He raised his sword and gritted his teeth.

A wave of spiders marched out of the darkness.

To borrow an Earth word, fuck. He leaped up onto the vehicle.

There wasn’t enough strength in his helian right now for him to form any flames. The spiders surrounded the overturned vehicle. Sabin closed his eyes for a second, and Finley’s face filled his head.
