Chapter 33: Failure?

Before my very eyes, a tsunami makes its way for us.

And I make to rise, but I find Darius holding my hand in place.

"I'm really disappointed in you Abigail." He says, staring me straight in the eyes.

I don't keep his gaze for more than a second, as I interchange my sight between him and the tsunami headed for us.

"I thought you'd be smarter than this." I dismiss his gaze and turn to the tsunami only seconds away.

"But it would seem you're just a cliched version of women." He says, but I don't react to him.

The wave is a step away from us, so I raise my free hand, pointlessly shielding my face.

*PANG* explodes beyond my hand, followed by a gust of wind.

And when I open my eyes, I find the wave had crashed into some invisible barrier.

I breathe a sigh of relief, as I remember the Instinct of the Marlow pack.

I feel a tug on my hand, then I remember Darius was holding onto it.
