Chapter XII

Twin bursts of green light from behind illuminated the forest past the edge of where he stood. They were not as large as when it had unleashed its attack earlier, and he guessed that they must have come from its nostrils. The position of the light source moved as its head moved. It was searching. Searching for them.

Vincent and Stacy had only narrowly escaped death at the wyvern’s hands before with the help of Rick, and he wasn’t here to save them now if things went wrong. Their death was guaranteed if they were found. Vincent felt himself tensing and trembling where he stood, trying to control his breathing to maintain absolute silence.

Other than water dripping off the trees, it was unusually quiet without the rain. His attention was diverted when he felt Stacy begin to stir. He clenched his teeth. Only her head moved the slightest bit. It didn’t seem like she was conscious yet, and he didn’t know if she was going to be just now.

A quiet moan came from her closed lips.

His heart caught in his throat, and he clamped his hand over her mouth. Vincent’s blood surged hard, and he could feel his fast pulse throbbing in his head. He waited.

The wyvern gave a snort and a slightly larger flash of green light shined on the surrounding forest. He heard its massive footsteps clawing at the ground. The next small burst of flame from its nostrils seemed even closer than before.

It was going to find them, his panicked mind repeated over and over again. It had but to walk past the tree’s edge. And he could tell from the light and its steps that it was coming toward them. It was going to find them, he thought again, unless he did something, and it didn’t seem like there was anything he could do. Waiting and hoping the beast would do otherwise would not save them.

Vincent heard the wyvern’s feet crushing pine cones while scraping and clawing at the ground for traction. It was not a stealthy animal, not when out of its home in the sky, but it didn’t need to be. Green light bathed the trees, the grass, and the debris along the forest floor, brighter, closer. The enormous fallen-over stand of spruce lay not far ahead in his vision. He wished with all his might that he could just hide under it with Stacy.

The wyvern came closer.

Mortal panic gripped him, and he decided that he was going to try something, anything, to distract or hide from it. The light from its nostrils seemed to be coming from further left. He started edging slowly right with Stacy, knowing that one false snap or crack of anything he stepped on would be death. He hadn’t gotten far, only an inch or two, when his foot brushed up against something. It was a small rock with misshapen bumps and protrusions all around its surface. He eyed the fallen over spruce again. An insane plan immediately sprouted in his mind.
