Excerpt
The Hunters fired at Caden as he disappeared from sight.
Lexia took a second to think of her friend before she turned, and
walking towards the Hunters, she fired the rounds in the gun taking
down three of them. Pulling the knife from her boot, she felt the
rush through her veins, making her smile. Lexia’s dark side came
out to play, her mind cleared of all thoughts but one, to kill.
As the sharp blade sliced through flesh, Lexia marvelled
at the ease of killing; it felt like second nature and as the Hunter
flowed through her blood. She didn’t feel the pain as a knife
sliced across her thigh, she didn’t even flinch. She spun around,
slicing the knife through her attackers; the hilt of the blade
carried on, colliding with the Hunter behind her. As he dropped to
the floor; Lexia ran to the fence, scaling it with the ease of a cat.
She landed in a crouch and set off sprinting in the
direction she’d heard Caden run. As she raced through the streets,
the sound of sirens sounded in the distance. Lexia stopped at the end
of the street; she had no idea where to go, she’d only left Caden’s
house once. She stood in silence and closed her eyes, the noises
around her filled her mind: police sirens, the distant hum of
engines, the quiet chatter from early morning risers, and then to her
right, the faint noise of pounding feet.
Lexia ran, spreading out her senses but couldn’t feel
any danger. “Where are you, Doc,” Lexia mumbled to herself.
Her heart started to race as she heard the sounds of
gunfire. Curtains started to open around her. She crossed the road,
her feet pounding on the pavement, and as she rounded the corner,
Lexia felt the danger she was running toward. Caden,
please be okay!
Caden stood in a car park cornered, his shoulder had
started to bleed again from the fighting he’d had to do but now he
was out of luck. Ten Hunters walked towards him, their dull gold eyes
hungered for his death.
He could see now how different Lexia’s eyes were from
these Hunters around him. Theirs held no life, where Lexia’s shined
bright, sparkling with the power that ran in her blood.
“Tell us where the girl is and we’ll kill you
quickly,” one Hunter said to him.
Caden smiled at the tall dark haired hunter closest to
him. If he was going down, he’d go down fighting. If he shifted now
his shoulder would rip open again and he could bleed to death before
he found help, but right now it was his only option. He’d never
been the best fighter in his human form. He’d always kept his
shifter side separate, not like Lincoln whose cat always lurked close
to the surface, ready to strike.
“Have it your way then,” said the dark haired Hunter
with a smile.
As Caden shifted he saw Lexia run around the corner. He
looked at her now through his leopard eyes as she sneaked behind
them. The first Hunter she reached never heard her coming and the
rest where too caught up in attacking him to notice.
He leapt at the tall dark haired hunter sinking his
teeth into his neck but he slung Caden off, sending him smashing into
the hard concrete floor. He struggled to his feet, growling low as
they circled him. Blood flowed from the dark haired Hunter’s neck
but it didn’t slow him down and he went for him again, swiping his
sword. Caden felt the edge of the blade brush past his fur as he
twisted out of the way. He jumped and took down the man to his left;
blood rushed into his mouth, exciting the beast that he kept hidden
within, fuelling him on, giving him more power as his leopard took
control.
Lexia took down Hunter after Hunter, slicing her way
through them to reach Caden. As she broke through the circle that
surrounded him, she saw the blood that was now flowing from his
shoulder. He had a few other shallow cuts that slashed across his
side breaking up the dappled pattern of his fur.
The Hunters had them backed into a corner, more had
joined them and the sound of police sirens grew louder and louder.
Time was running out and Lexia could only see an escape for one of
them. She’d never make it over the high fence behind them before
the men and women around her managed to have her pinned down. Her
blood hummed through her veins; she stood her ground, keeping herself
between them and Caden.
“Go, I’ll fight them off,” she said to the leopard
at her back. He growled at her; defiance in his eyes. “Please,
Caden, they won’t kill me. Go now.”
As he turned to jump Lexia launched herself at the
Hunters. She kicked and sliced at the bodies trying to keep her down.
They pushed her to her knees but she kept fighting and as her head
hit the floor she thought of Lincoln. If only
you were here, my pretty panther...
