Anna smiled, the day was becoming more pleasant. Anna was surprised that Cade was willing to walk, but even in the cold, as long as they kept moving, they’d stay warm. The conversation was pleasant, and Anna would point out familiar sights to him. Cade seemed better too. She had noted that after she had offered to talk about his wife, he had spoken of his family by name, Lacey and Jackson, several times. Anna hadn’t pushed. She had a feeling he needed to, but she had promised to respect his boundaries.
When they heard a scream, Anna instinctively reached for her power. It flooded her and she allowed it to envelop her. Her senses sharpened and she followed as Cade ran. The sight before her caused her to gasp. Cade took a step back. Anna, who had worked with Elyse and knew what she had done before coming to Kallisti, knew monsters existed, but had never seen one until now. Cade, probably had doubted their existence.
Anna reacted, using her power to form a lasso of air around the creature, pulling it away from its victim. It wasn’t a strong pull, but it was enough to send the creature sprawling backward until it hit the wall. Anna formed more air, making a curved cage around the creature.
”Come here, miss. We’ll help you.”
The creature ran and found itself hitting an invisible wall around it. It began to beat against the wall. Anna could feel the resistance, but here shield held. She raised her hands towards it, knowing it wouldn’t do anything except strengthen her resolve. Still, with every beat, she could feel it slip just a little.
”Get her, Cade. I’m not very strong yet. I don’t know how long I can hold it.” her voice was filled with fear and panic. She knew once that shield dropped, it was going to come after them.
