Chapter 16

It looked like a snowy Christmas morning as the air filled with falling puffs of the dangerous, addictive drug. Everything seemed to freeze for a moment as everybody watched the massive cloud spread across the warehouse.

There wasn’t anywhere to outrun it. Despite my effort to hold my breath, I soon was forced to breathe in the drug, and my body started to feel really good. Maybe even great.

Enjoying the wave of happiness, I inhaled deeply, but my breath was cut off as I was launched into the air. My body came tumbling down onto my hip with a sharp pain that made everything clear again for a moment. Shaking off the momentary high, I tried to focus harder, but I could already feel myself slipping back into the euphoria.

The damn thing had clearly gone straight from my mucus membranes to my bloodstream and there was a ton of it in the air.

“Zach.” Morgana’s blue face came into view.

“You’re pretty. I bet you’re a good kisser.” I smiled up at her, wondering what her lips would feel like. My head rocked to the side and my face stung.

“Snap out of it. Focus, Zach, or you’re dead.”

I tried. I really did. But I could feel my focus slipping away, even as I put all my energy into it. It was like trying to catch a greased-up pig, not that I really knew what that was like.

Mmmm pork sounded really good. I licked my lips, surprised when they tasted bitter.

Smack.

“Focus, Zach. I need you. Jadelyn and Kelly need you to get the fuck up and fight.”

The mention of Jadelyn and Kelly helped. They were depending on me. I had to figure this thing out. I dug my nails into my hands, working to use the pain to help orient me. Rolling, I got up, my head spinning in fun ways with the movement.

“Up,” I pronounced proudly to the world.

Something hit me in a flying tackle. It hurt almost as much as an airbag to the face, and it was fuzzy. Wait, not fuzzy. It was fluffy in a mangey way. It took a bit, but my mind registered it as a werewolf.

“You need to work on your hugs, man.” I pushed the wolf off of me.

It looked confused and came swinging again. I’d like to say that I dodged with the skill and grace of a fighter, but I’m pretty sure I just swayed and stumbled out of the way.

I did manage to grab his paw, taking a moment to marvel at just how fuzzy it was while twisting and bringing my shoulder up into his elbow. It snapped and crackled. Now it just needed a pop. That came after, as I managed to continue twisting and dislocated the wolf’s elbow.

It howled in pain right in my ear. It was loud enough to make me even more dizzy than I was already. But what distracted me most was the sickly pack magic that danced around the wolf, a kaleidoscope of orange motes.

I tried to pull my anger into my chest.
