Chapter 12 - Into the Forest

“Kylon!” Morgan screamed at the beast ripping into bodies of the soldiers littered across the forest floor. Red eyes locked onto her, a chilling howl following. Clenching her fists, she held her ground as he charged towards her.

“Anyndel, get out of the way!” Luciack yelled, a snarl in his voice that elicited a volatile reaction from her. She lurched, compelled to follow his order, her eyes finding his. Against her will, her legs carried her toward him just as Kylon’s beastly form barreled right through where she’d been standing.

“What did you do to me?” She demanded, breaths quickening as her skin crawled.

“I saved your life, that’s what. We don’t have time for this!” He snapped. For a moment, she thought she saw fire flickering in his eyes. Shrinking away from him, she turned back towards Kylon, bloodthirsty rage in his every movement. Before she could react, Luciack stepped between them, calmly striding towards him as he prepared to charge for them again.
