Kara’s memories of her mom transforming into a Skull were burned in her mind. Those terrible hours where she had watched her mom fall ill. The dawning realization that something terrible had taken over her mind.

Another time, she had been attacked by a Skull in Maryland. The scars across her face still burned hot when she imagined those claws cutting into her.

In the med bay, she’d once felt her body giving out. A victim to the side effects of the chelation agent that was supposed to save her life. All she could do was hope the medical team could save her.

All those times she had been at the edge of the abyss. Kara knew what it felt like when her life was about to end.

But never had she felt so helpless as she did now. Taken captive by a Hybrid. Right here in the Huntress. Right where she was supposed to have been the safest.

The Hybrids were still manipulating the engine controls. An alarm began to beep, reporting that the engine was overheating. She desperately wanted to reach out and pull on the emergency release. Vent that heat out.

“Don’t you worry, girl,” the Hybrid holding her wrists said. “We aren’t just blowing the engine. We’re going to have more fun than that.”

Kara went still.

The leader of the six-Hybrid squad pointed at Kara and Sadie. He said something in Russian. The two Hybrids holding them responded and then ducked into the engine room. The clamor of the engine pounded violently against Kara’s eardrums. She wanted to clamp her hands over her ears. Alden’s warnings about protecting her hearing rang in her mind.

God, poor Alden, she thought. Kara tried to look back to get one final glimpse of his body, but the Hybrid dragged her down the passage.

Water sloshed at their feet. Kara wondered if the water tank was leaking. Beneath the tang of oil, she detected a salty scent.

Soon she saw why.

At the end of the engine room, a hole had been torn into the side of the ship. That hole led into a chamber beyond, choked with wires and instruments. The space was bathed in a crimson light, similar to the red battle lights that the Huntress’s crew used. She blinked, not believing what she was seeing.

A submarine.

No wonder no one had seen the FGL attack the Huntress. They’d come on a sub and used the noise of the damaged engine room to mask their entry. From what she could see, they had peeled
