CHAPTER SIXTEEN
After a quick check of the vehicles, Terry wondered what they could take with them, happy to have the challenge of too much modern firepower. He shook his head and gritted his teeth. If he wasn’t careful, he’d be buried in the bowels of the earth with his nanocytes coursing through some Forsaken’s body after it fed on him.
He wondered if his nanocytes would make it stronger. He decided it was best to keep his nanocytes to himself, sharing with Char as far as he’d go.
Char heard the footsteps first, small ones coming from behind them. “Don’t leave me,” Kaeden called. Terry turned and hurried back, fury raged within him.
“Kae, we are not leaving you, but you can’t be here with us. Blackbeard, you cover our six. Anyone gets past us, you kill them. Keep him with you.” Terry pulled one of his knives, flipped it over to hold it by the blade. He handed it to the boy.
“You know how to use this?” he asked. The boy nodded. “Your job is to protect Hank. Anyone tries to hurt him, you stop them, do you understand?”
Terry didn’t wait for the boy’s answer as echoes of a rifle’s report cascaded up the tunnel. Then more shots from multiple weapons as the squad fired en masse.
Terry ran past the trucks as Char yelled to cease fire.
Mark and the front members of first squad were kneeling, still holding their aim. A body was on the roadway ahead. Adams and Xandrie’s shaggy fur bounced as they ran past Char. They stopped to sniff at the man, then jogged ahead as if sensing game. Char started to run.
Terry didn’t know what was going on, so he ran too, unsure of what he was running for or where.
The body he passed was riddled with bullet holes. A man of indeterminate age, features sunken as if he hadn’t eaten in months. His body was mostly shriveled. The telltale sign of Vampire bites on his neck suggested they’d fed on him repeatedly.
Not enough to kill him, but keep him in a state of living death.
Terry ran faster. The Forsaken. The enemy of all mankind.
They needed to die.
Xandrie yipped as something blazed in from a side passage and chopped into her body. Adams barked and leapt, but the creature was already gone. Xandrie bolted in panic down a different passage.
“Adams!” Char yelled, but he was gone, heading down the passage to the right after his mate.
Char fired the pistol into the darkness to the left. A figure burst into the open, moving beyond Werewolf speed and diving directly for Char.
Terry took a half-step and swung with all the power in his body. He stopped the creature cold, but it felt as if he’d punched a rock wall. The Forsaken grunted and dropped to the pavement. Char stomped his knee and then danced aside.
He flipped backwards and flexed his shoulders as he raised his fists. Terry lunged forward, moving to maintain his balance over the balls of his feet.
