Even if I escape will I get there on time? She bit hard on the right hand's knuckles. Doesn't matter, have to try. Quit whining and do it!
597Please respect copyright.PENANADpBQtXqXXP
She stepped over to the door, jostling the handle. The handle wavered became hazy and vanished. That was cruel.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA3qffioL8DY
That burning sensation started again, she bent over in pain as the vines worked their way past her shoulder blades and up to her neck. The long vines burrowed into her skin. She stood there gasping while trying to resist pulling them out like last time. Not now!
597Please respect copyright.PENANAVEu4S5eKQK
They worked their way up to her Elvin ears, wrapping around and, into them. She reached back, touching the vines. The vines developed small bumps on both sides.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAUNsmVNh8AV
She reached for a long one behind her back and looked at it. The bumps unfurled into leaves that split down the middle.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAcGk61JgHZN
The painful burrowing needled into her neck at a faster pace. Her sanity became a seething madness where Unnamed lurked behind the corners of her mind. Every memory, every thought she could feel him there, peering in, ready to pounce. He slammed her with the memories of that city burning.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAQSuJNuNQ0D
When she tried to think about something else ... it dropped an image of Maxwell's son, burning in the fire his skin peeling off, complete with the boy screaming to the heavens.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA8NBEhfSPx2
She clenched her chest, it hurt. Sweat fell down the sides of her face in rivers, causing her hair to stick her face. She bent over kneeling on the floor with her hands supporting her. Hyperventilating. Stop it Breathe.
597Please respect copyright.PENANARKn6wBJjkN
I ...
597Please respect copyright.PENANA01tQwmBf2R
...
597Please respect copyright.PENANAl3W6P1rAt8
Ordain it.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAViIbE5OaC1
A mental hold snapped.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAnPzHiNjyTS
She shrieked along with the vines until her breath ran out. And then screamed, repeatedly. She dropped on her stomach gulping in deep breaths.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA5ygC1lBiWA
Why fight me so? These lands need a leader, they need to be reborn. The planet is dying and I can revive it. I'm still the god of nature, young one. I'm coming back one way or another, why cause yourself pain? Think about it.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAPRKztnTd7X
You lie.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAIz3QhJf101
You're not scared of what will happen, you're scared what I say is true.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAqMF9j05NWE
She stiffened, you are wrong, I will keep fighting you no matter how long it takes.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAPGdtaY6M94
The god growled in her mind. You can't even save yourself or your friends. Pathetic.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hhzx8nRWd
I tricked you once didn't I?
597Please respect copyright.PENANA81UBYAdse0
Never again. The god pulled back inside; smoldering.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA9SQP09SumS
A dark crackling of energy appeared near the door, it became wider and Maxwell stepped into the room.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAj7DX46I1Nc
"Time to go."
597Please respect copyright.PENANAbjdqFOezVn
His rough hand grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Now what?
597Please respect copyright.PENANAFjgMqn8CMJ
"Come. It is time," he said.
597Please respect copyright.PENANALPsxdQyIP4
She leaned away from him. With her free hand started to pull out a dagger.
597Please respect copyright.PENANACL2QPjg4N0
He smacked it out of her hand, it bounced onto the floor slid across it and fell into a crack under the floorboards on the left of the room.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAlV8EHMfYdw
"Move!" He pulled and jerked her towards the portal by the door.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAeKls3O9uFK
The portal. Wait.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA1zPpsvTQMO
"Let go of me!"
She whispered a quick prayer to the wind spirit. He came and granted the boon. "
Thirty seconds. After that your life energy." He flitted away through the wall.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAU4uFbND861
Her body thrummed with pure energy granted from the great winds. Need to do this, and quick. She whipped her arm and broke free from his grip.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAjpfEuDhQUE
Rushing towards the window at the end of the room her, she jumped onto the thin windowsill balancing there.
597Please respect copyright.PENANACU8XVSlKFH
"I don't believe this-" He ran down the tower, passing by the outer windows.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAPLq7IzSW3k
Merryn weaved and grabbed the edges of the window. Maxwell strode over to her. She sprang up clawing at the roof shingles, they fell off the roof seconds after grabbing them and shattered on the ground. Going to die, again!
597Please respect copyright.PENANA53i8xUtc9m
She clutched to the edge of the roof with the tips of her fingers. No! I refuse! An ill timed wind passed over her sweat soaked skin, she shivered.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAxZQaFDvSeH
The edge of the roof cracked and crumbled away. Oh, come on!
597Please respect copyright.PENANAiGKkXdWalw
She shrieked while falling thirty some feet below. The stars above were brighter than she'd ever seen them. The spirits of her clan streaked down silent, a sadness emanated from them. One said something, but it was too far away.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAyEvGZ9O05u
She rolled over while failing. The details of the ground cleared and grew larger.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAeXPruvkdxC
It hurt; failing them. Failing everyone. Hot tears streamed from the sides of her eyes. Perhaps the god would die with her, she held on to that thought and squeezed them shut.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA6VUB89reXV
"You take the last hope with you!"
597Please respect copyright.PENANApsEbE1wlv3
She slammed into the ground. The pain didn't register for a handful of seconds. She wiggled her fingers, then slowly sat up. How? He felt her back cold, slimy gunk ran down it. She reached up some, a mass of vines covered her back.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAV8E0P7vgvs
Why?
597Please respect copyright.PENANABVzC8Q6CZj
Told you I'm not done.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAYFC10eHHFP
The vines separated and hissed as while falling off dead. She knelt on a knee. The grass spun, and a pit if acid rose into her mouth.
597Please respect copyright.PENANATE0C5Lu3pD
Maxwell spotted her as he crossed through the portal. With inhuman speed, he rushed over and struck her across the face.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAkp3wUSB8Pb
Merryn flew over two hundred feet way, smashing into a large pinnacle tree.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAyDjg3BuHua
"I warned you."
597Please respect copyright.PENANApP09EDlwFy
Her body slid downward, and she stared at him. A warmth burned from deep within, it raced through her body. It's back again. The last time ... so many died.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAtMb5FrxLfA
Flashbacks of what happened with Maxwell hit her unrelenting. Not Unnamed. Calm have to-
597Please respect copyright.PENANAkQklZJXn4x
Her sense of time cracked and wasn't sure how long that she had been screaming. Her throat now raw, unable to stop, she screamed to an even higher frequency.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAKA11KeCMJ9
Not I, control yourself!
597Please respect copyright.PENANAzn1ttKsNJi
Sweat drenched her clothing and she shivered. The burning intensified down to the marrow. She collapsed to her knees, still screaming.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAiUwraOqfc7
We will die!
597Please respect copyright.PENANAVSNNBs7UYu
I don't care all I want ... now is ... is chunks of his flesh in my hands!
597Please respect copyright.PENANAh6PfAaLevh
Maxwell held his hands over his ears, unable to move, stunned. Her screams continued and smashed into his chest, pushing him back.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA2n02RNihUE
She stood. All emotions faded, but one. The burning from within that bubbled to the surface like a poison.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAFeuGcMb9p2
A prickling ran up and down her arms, up her neck and a rush tingled her scalp. She shook her head while a slow grin spread. "Human stop me now or I'll rip you apart ... and enjoy it." Before all the hell happened he had been an ally. Though he'll be far less gentle than before. Just as well.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAiksk7ebimZ
Maxwell gave a cut nod, then took his hands off his ears then moved forward. He took his spear off of the back holster and walked towards her.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAZ64zwrnS8t
His lip furled, then he gritted his teeth as he came closer.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAiam5jakUBa
"I make no promises."
597Please respect copyright.PENANAdMnT7lF7Al
"Do it already. Just remember you caused it this time."
597Please respect copyright.PENANAY5X9AXcnOp
He bent down towards her, his face smooth and unreadable. "Yes, quite."
597Please respect copyright.PENANA39h53Hq5Jg
A tear streamed down her face, it dropped onto the palm of her hand, crystallizing, damn it. Hurry.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNpbPGhEP
"I'd rather be your prisoner then have this happen, hurry damn it!"
597Please respect copyright.PENANALONMJ5EkNZ
He broke into a run his gaze on the crystal.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAJPWuZj2EfO
The crystal emanated a soft glow from within, every moment growing brighter. The burning faded and a coldness spread through her body. Unable to stop, she began chanting the forbidden spell.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAWE2C3cfy3W
She strained to push the arms back, they wouldn't listen.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAxN5eKz1Y8O
As if each arm was being pushed from under by an unseen spirit. Will alone wasn't enough.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAOYN8QcOS2j
She tossed it up into the air. The tear spun as it did it sent out a glowing nova dot of light. Next, it widened into a halo. This enveloped the entire area in a blinding light.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAWcHdP8Vh8x
The elders said that it would only go off if there wasn't any choice. But, this is the second time it's started on its own?
597Please respect copyright.PENANA9qQMpePdru
Maxwell worked over real slow. The light washed out parts of his face while the rest stayed in shadow.
597Please respect copyright.PENANASTjDa8VqiV
Not much time left.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAA2DM3sKByl
"End it." Her tone was faint, less than a whisper and tinged with an underlying chime.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA6vtUmB6BVS
"I thought I'd enjoy this more, the necessity of this takes from that."
597Please respect copyright.PENANAoqiTlWVL8E
His lips thinned as he gripped the sword in both hands and swing it at her.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAVw2EuX0wlh
He turned to the side at the last second and rammed it in deep into her side.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6cdra83d
The crystal tear flew out of her hands. She shrieked. Pain everything became this as a numbness again. She fell on her side shaking. Did it stop?
597Please respect copyright.PENANALcLg9Jqcde
He went over to where the crystal laid picked it up and put it into a pouch.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAZzYK9uqwpD
He stood over her, his features smooth and flat.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAlkyEsGP2s3
Her vision grayed out and his features became a hazy blob.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAeuwbROzVDH

597Please respect copyright.PENANAcgETVm7SL2
597Please respect copyright.PENANAkbSFj0UEvc
597Please respect copyright.PENANAl14fITSjVh
An unknown time later she felt something slamming into her chest and she gasped. Her chest was heavy and cold.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAmim4MOaNL5
Another slam.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAsY1PyTBdOw
A grayed out forum stood over her. His arms were raised up with a ball of ice floating in between them.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAXXTrAev4mD
He tossed and it slammed into her chest before spreading out and down like tiny knives.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAtBR4jio74d
Live. Die. Just make it stop. This went on for what felt like forever.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAQUYYwrurWa
The person stood and as her vision cleared. Maxwell.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAPky4QjaJdX
He kneeled down at her side.
597Please respect copyright.PENANAM5larj62D9
"You will die when I say it's time."
597Please respect copyright.PENANAjrDEHpMoKP
From under the palms of his hands, a hidden dagger shot out dripping with a thin pearl gray fluid. It caught her in the neck.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA4PYz728F8a
Trying but unable to move. So tired, let me go.
597Please respect copyright.PENANA0k1OzAPfTm
Maxwell crouched down and picked her up and carried her behind the building. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAgMbdQvCeVt
