Helanie:
Pain shot through my stomach, but I slid behind him and kicked the back of his knee. But it seemed like nothing pained him. He turned. I jumped back just in time.
I noticed the Zharns crowding around the fighters. My attention began to drift toward my mates, I wanted to be with them, but Rune! I had to defeat him. He was the real threat.
As the Zharns began attacking my mates, someone else arrived, just in time, after securing the guests inside the building where the funeral service had been held.
"Ahhh!" Kaye's scream tore through the air as he transitioned, his long arms swinging, claws extending. But I noticed something else, the way he shifted mid-transition. He smirked as he landed on the ground, head down, eyes up. Then he moved faster, much faster than usual. Even his brothers looked stunned.
"Blood!" Kaye screamed, slamming his hands against a Zharn's head, crushing it and splattering blood everywhere.
