Teaser:
(Skylar’s point of view)
When
I sensed movement, I peered up. Seeing countless liquid droplets hovering above
us, as if they were raindrops frozen in place, was a clear indication that
Poseidon’s descendants were somewhere in the room. It was a beautiful sight,
yet deadly. I knew at any moment it could change its shape into something sharp
and lethal. I became uneasy, especially when they were right above us.
When
I followed the line of the vultures’ vision, I saw liquids of various
colors—the colors of whatever drinks had spilled on the floor—slithering toward
us. Then they lifted, swirling continuously in a circular motion, and finally
forming into a huge sphere.
“Why
are they still in human form?” Nicked shouted, having both of his hands raised,
ready to attack. “They’ve already scared all of the humans away.”
“I
have no idea,” Mason replied.
“Where’s
Kayla?” I asked frantically. Bewildered by what I was able to do, I had
forgotten about my cousin.
“She’s
out. She’s underneath the bar,” Nick explained. “I had no choice. It was the
safest place.”
I
felt horrible. Many times before, Kayla had to be knocked out, but at least she
was safe and that was all that mattered.
“What
do we do?” Amanda asked. “We’re just standing here in ninja stance, having a
staring contest.”
“Maybe
they’re not vultures?” Everett added.
“They
sure smell like them,” Nick sneered.
“Maybe
they’re scared shitless. I would be too if I had those things pointing at me,”
Nick commented.
“What
do you want?” Mason asked the strangers in an authoritative tone, and asked
another when there was no answer. “Who sent you?”
