Gun shots fired inside. Automatic weapons fire meant Ayden had to take out her man and do it fast before trouble found her.
Ayden blinked the infrared away from her contacts, she needed to see faces. The distances lit up each different target she focused on. But none of those exiting or surrounding the building were her mark. The man had to be here, his phone said he was here.
Ayden dropped her view to the cars parked near by. Sure enough her mark was cowering in the driver seat window. The gun fire had caught his attention too, but he didn't run. Ayden caught a glimpse of something in his car, a camera or something of that nature. Ayden didn't think. She took aim and the power brought everything into a pristine focus, there was no way she'd miss. she never missed.
In all the confusion going out at the place, one more stray bullet would hardly be noticed. A tiny squeeze of her trigger finger and the bullet sailed in near silence towards it mark. The glass shattered on the drivers side door and in the power Ayden heard the distinct sound of a bullet crunching through the skull.
Ayden looked up to clear her sights, the power still raw inside her. Ayden blinked, Connor? WTF! Ayden waited, it was only moments, but it took that long to register. A man behind Connor, a gun. There was little time for thought. Two days in and Ayden was ready to risk a second shot from her location to save him. Worry, confusion, anger all registered but were pushed aside by her training. The key was to stay calm in all things, even when a loved one was in danger.
There was little time, she reloaded as quickly as possible. The man grew closer as Ayden performed the task methodically. Little time left. Ayden knew the man would fire at any moment, but Connor was too close, she couldn't wait too long. The world slowed, time nearly stopped as Ayden waited, almost too long. She squeezed the trigger ever so slightly and the bullet flew...
Connor turned around, a moment too soon, and stepped into the line Ayden had marked. The bullet pierced Connor's back , Ayden watched in horror as it slowed and made final impact in the man now in front of Connor. Ayden loaded again. The man saw her, Ayden was only slightly aware of him starting to train his automatic weapon on her position. A rain of bullets flew over her head and into the ground in front of her. Ayden hated firefights. She cursed under her breathe as she waited for the hail of bullets to stop.
Quickly, A third shot, Ayden didn't have time to gauge much of anything before she pulled the trigger a third time. The gift guided her, she relied on it and not the specs in her contacts. The bullet landed, pierced the skull of the man whom she had targeted.
Connor! The immediate threat over and Ayden grabbed her things, and ran towards the dilapidated building. She could see and smell the wound long before she got to him. She knelt in her black wig and dark clothing above Connor and wished to god he had not been here. He his lungs filled with blood, the wound bled. Ayden drew upon her gift, she didn't know how to do what she'd done before. She let the gift guide the weaves. Like it was second nature, but no matter what she did, the wound only barely closed. New blood stopped flowing into his lungs, but that was about all she could do for him. Ayden knew that he was out of danger, but his life was still hanging in a precarious balance.
A fire burned inside. She looked at the building with pure hatred and fury. Her skin burned with the emotions boiling inside her. Revenge, guilt, hate, anger burned through her.
Ayden walked into the building, she would extract revenge on those who made it happen. It was her fault Connor was lying near death on the cold hard ground. But it was their fault for bringing him here. The minor healing she had done on Connor had weakened her, she could feel the strain of holding the power. But she didn't care, she pulled on the power, almost to the point at which she knew she'd burn with it. She wove fire and earth and pulled the building down. Fire erupted in ever crevice Ayden could see. The heat grew to an inferno with in matter of seconds. Ayden fueled the fire with her own power. It grew, encompassed everything.
Ayden felt the flames touch her skin. The fire bird awoke inside. She'd never seen it, only heard the rumors. The majestic bird hiding Ayden as she walked out of the flaming inferno.
Outside the power drained away. Ayden nearly fell to the ground, but she forced herself to walk, to move, to keep going.
