Chapter 15: Darkness of the Night
Karn stirred from his sleep. He thought he heard a noise nearby. He looked around, but the scene was empty. “That’s weird”. He rose from his bed and looked through the hut’s patchwork. He saw a shadowy figure outside. “Darn that thing, No way I’m gonna let it get me”. He balled his hands into fists, he put all his energy into them. He jumped out of the hut and landed a crippling blow to the creature’s jaw. One of the mandibles broke off and the creature was pelted towards a tree. The other hybrids woke up (except for Lorn and Hemm).
Silpher ran towards Karn and stood with his back towards him, “Darn, not more of these freaks”. As the creature got up, another creature came to stand next to it. Riley was trying to focus, “If only there were less of them… We could deal with them if there weren’t as many”. Riley focused on the two creatures, held her hands upwards, pointing them. A crack was heard and a green-tinted chain was coupled to both of the creatures. It had effectively tied the two creatures together.
Ulric smiled, “Nice one Riley, Inna, Tulia, Let’s go!”. Ulric’s rallying cry was like a massive adrenaline boost. Inna approached from the left-side and Tulia from the right. Inna pressed her hands along the creature’s back and started her zap fists. Tulia meanwhile summoned a mini-hurricane and battered the creature from within. After the electricity and wind subsided, the creatures remained motionless on the floor, before turning to ash.
