Katrina's POV

We jumped.

Probably not my best idea since there was a bug the size of a house shifting under ground.

But it was either that or be horribly crushed under a huge truck.

Shitty choice against shitty choice.

I pressed us all forward, sending our bodies dropping out of the spinning car of death, just before it crunch into the sand, completely recked.

Cha said she could do it.

I could feel the air pulling under us, weak but strong enough to slow our fall.

But I knew we were too heavy, and we were falling way too fast.

The air shoved against us, but we weren't slowing, not fast enough.

And then it suddenly was as strong as the ground, holding us up better than fucking pavement.

I turned to Cha, her hair in complete disarray, she still looked a little pale from my amazing driving skills, but her eyes were wide open, mouth dropped in shock as she looked out over at a figure hovering a little ways away from us.

Thank the heavens for Vapor.

I sighed, my body finally relaxing just slightly, "shit, I really thought we were going to die there for a -" I started only to be cut off as that fucking scorpion lurched into the air again.

Its body coming right for the four of us, no doubt going to break some necks when it did land on our bodies.

Vapor wind yank us hard.

And guess who was standing on the very end.

Diane, Ana, and Cha were jerked right, but I tipped backwards.

Open air greeted my ass like welcome sign as I got bitch slapped by gravity.

One breath.

I took exactly one, before a strong force collided with my side and sent me spinning like a wheel through the air, before crashing into the sand.

And into a muscled chest.

I peaked my eye open, sand in my eyelashes, my air, and even in my fucking mouth.

But I couldn't even concentrate on that.

My eyes were now locked with those golden shining orbs that seemed to always be watching me.

I couldn't help the smile that flew across my lips, "nice. Fucking. Catch" I breathed out slowly as Blue glared down at me, like I had just melted his favorite nail filer.

His trunk like arms wrapped tighter around me, as he looked down at me, that scowl that made him so fucking sexy, hard on his face.

"Its a miracle your still fucking breathing" he groaned down at me, as growls and screams surrounded us.

But every time its just me and him, the world just fucking stops spinning.

I smile up brightly in his face, watching with glee as he winced away from my happiness, the sour bitch, "then you must be a miracle worker".

He rolled his eyes, "I am, you'd be six fucking feet under without me".

He's honestly not lying, "and with you?" I questioned lowly, watching his eyes settle on my face.

His lips twitch as he smirks, "three feet. I'm planning on digging you a shallow grave".

"You bitc-" sand sprayed over us, sending us rolling as the ground trembled.

I barely could blink before Blue had me back on my feet, his eyes scanning the war zone ahead of us.

Diane and Ana were struggling to stand out of the sand, Vapor was throwing burst of sharp air at Raymond's scorpion body, while Cha tried to help Diane and Ana stand up and get behind Vapor.

"Remind me when I see your brother to aim for his testicles" I mutter as my eyes absorb the complete shit show in front of me.

"I'm going for the bitch's trachea" Blue huffed out as we watched.

We were screwed.

Raymond was way too fast, and without wheels theres no way in hell we'd make it to the border, without turning into scorpion food.

Fucking scorpion.

"I'm going to have nightmares about this for the rest of my life" I winced as my eyes dragged over the hug bug that was terrorizing us.

"This? Not the near fatal fall you took into cemented ground?" Blue asked me sarcastically.

I winced, "nope. Definitely fighting off this large ass bug is at the top of the list of 'traumatizing shit to happen to Katrina'" I sigh as Blue huffed out a laugh.

We needed time and had none left to gamble with.

Who knows how long it will be before Raymond's servants start to make a guest appearance on this shit show?

Over powered, and under staffed doesn't make for a speedy get away.

"We've got to distract him" I hiss, Blue turns to look at me a glare already in his eyes, "you and Vapor need to get Ana and Diane out of here. Dead weight and I'm not leaving without them. You can fly the both of the out of here" I looked over at Blue's pissed off expression.

He grips my wrist tightly, "now really isn't time for your sacrificial lamb bullshit" he snapped down at me, "if he gets his hands on you, its game over, for all of us" he growled.

I shake my head at him, "its about to be game over. Cha and I run together. The ultimate package he wants, you get Ana and Diane out of here. Then Cha and I will split up. He'll have to pick which one of us to attack, its the only plan we have that will save us some time" I say as I watch Raymond make a hard stab for Ana's face, she just barely dove out the way in time.

Blue's jaw tightens, "you're the most annoying person I've ever fucking met" he snapped, as he glared down at me.

I let a small laugh slip, "ditto, bitch. We can discuss that later though" I huff, wiping the river of sweat off my face. I turn to where Cha is, "CHA!" I scream her name, watching her hair whip in the air, her eyes finding mine.

Without a second thought she took off from Vapor, immediately causing Raymond to trace her movements as she pressed herself faster with air practically letting her fly through the air.

Blue snatched me back, forcing me to face him again, "anything happens to your pathetic ass, and I'll carve my name into your forehead. Understand" he spit harshly.

I paused, watching his eye glow.

My mouth opened, but I paused, so much I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to say it.

Didn't know how to apologize.

"Bullets" I sighed into his face, letting the word connect us like rope, as his eyes narrowed down at me.

He growled before taking off like a bullet through the air, his body landing between a struggling Ana and Diane.

I barely had time to watch them before Cha's hand clenched mine, dragging me through the heavy sand.

Raymond right on our ass.

Cha's wind pressed beneath my feet, letting me run easier next to her, as we raced over the ground.

"Awesome plan, Kat" Cha wheezed, as we panted, sprinting hard.

So maybe my amazing plan hadn't encompassed the two fat asses who hate physically activity.

"We make it out of this shit storm and I'm never walking above a speed 3 every again" I panted back to her as we dove right, just in time to miss Raymond's claws slicing up out of the sand, nearly hitting us.

Cha wheezed as we took a sharp right over the sand duns, "maybe you could start hitting him with something" she hissed out as sweat drenched her entire body.

I turned my head just slightly, watching Raymond's form scuttle horrifically fast over the sand.

The shit I've seen.

I press my palms together, feeling for that endless pool of power inside of me spark up immediately.

I pulled the vision of Zeus from the movie Hercules hurling those bolts of lightning down at the evil titans, fucking up all of Hades' plans.

Sue me.

Its my inspiration.

My hands buzz as I yank them apart, a curved bolt in between my palm, buzzing with power, ready to put a hole in an ugly ass scorpions face.

I tugged Cha left, sending us right in front of Raymond.

Hit that ugly ass face.

I throw the bolt like a fucking boss, watching as it whirls before crashing into the face area of the beast, sending it tumbling and rolling into the sand, face first.

My lips tug into a huge ass smile as Cha cheers next to me, as we continue to run.

"SUCK MY LIGHTNING BALLS!" I screech as Cha and I take off at a dead sprint back towards where Vapor is hovering, sending tornadoes into Raymond's servants, sending their bodies flying feet back onto their asses.

Time is dwindling.

We have got to get out of here.

I roll off of Cha's wind, immediately sinking into the heavy and hot sand, as she stumbles in surprise.

I shake my head at her, "get to Vapor, and get the fuck out of here" I hiss.

She hesitates, before nodding and taking off towards Vapor.

I turn back around to watch in horrible fascination as Raymond's body twist and turns into something else.

Great.

Another snake.

One that puts monstrosity in Anaconda to shame.

Except it gets much better.

Because it seems that Raymond is a creative son of a bitch, this fucking snake has huge ass bat wings attacked.

The therapy I am going to need after all this bullshit is over, is amazing.

I watch with a sick stomach as its animal eyes turn and flash at me, that crazy red bleeding in its eyes, before its head hisses and looks over to where Cha is finally just crashing into Vapor's arms.

Raymond's head swivels between the two of us, watching and deciding.

He knows just as well as I do, that there is no way he can catch the two of us together now.

He has to choose.

His loyalty to Cirron, or his heart.

... and he's a heartless bitch.

Was it terrible of me to wish he'd try his hand over with Vapor and Cha?

I'd pay good money to watch Vapor use air to turn Raymond's nightmare like body into sushi.

"Fuck me" I hiss before rolling down off the top of the sand dun and trying my best to high knee it away from the snake-bitch that is currently slithering and flapping its overly large ass towards me.

I watch in mild jealousy as Vapor and Cha fly over the border.

Safe.

Everyone is safe.

Except me, of course.

Life expectancy at a solid 8 percent right now.

Think bitch. Think and run, bitch.

Run and think.

... all thats really coming to me is my impending doom.

I hear that awful slithering flapping sound, as its nearly on top of me.

And this is how I go, people.

By a large ass snake with bat wings.

Damnit, my parents are going to be laughing at my fucking funeral.

I dive sideways, expecting to get a mouth full of sand, and an ass full of snake fangs, except I find myself crashing into a chest of muscle.

My eyes connect with those orbs of glowing light, that tightness in my chest easing as I come to the realization that I'm not going to die ... just yet.

I open my mouth to praise the ground this asshole walks on, when a hard force smacks us from the side.

My arms slip from Blue as his body goes sailing into the sand, his body crashing harshly as I too drop and land ass first into the sand.

Twenty feet separate us.

And in between that twenty stands a silver haired man with an evil ass smile.

Raymond.



Blue's POV

Fuck.

I sit up swiping the sand out of my face, rolling onto my knees standing.

My stomach drops into my ass as I watch Raymond leer over top of Katrina's body.

Her hair packed with sand, sweat rolling down her face, and fear in her eyes.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I watch her scramble back, as Raymond steps over top of her.

I don't think.

The power is like a wave crashing over me, my whole body tightening as my muscles strain, and then everything slows.

All I can hear is Katrina's heart beat, beating erratically fast in her out of shape body.

Clouds roll on like waves above me, before the power surges like never before.

It all happens so fast.

A bolt slowly leaks from the sky, crashing to the ground before me.

I don't know how I know, but I wrap my fist around it, allowing that pure and deadly power to completely consume me, pressing me into myself, making me stronger.

Making me deadly.

In a second I'm nothing.

Nothing but pure power, billions of sparks in the sky.

Next I'm on the ground.

Standing right beside Katrina, my body simply materializing beside her.

Holy shit.

Raymond and Katrina's head snap towards me in shock, "holy shit, did you just-" Katrina starts, but I don't have time for her incessant questions today, not when her life in on the line.

I hold on tighter to the bolt, feeling it relax in my grip.

I smirk as something like dread settles across Raymond's face.

He barely has anything to say before I reel back and whip the bolt across his chest sending him flying twenty feet up and back into the air.

I'm the mother fucking shit.

I watch with sick enjoyment as the silver haired freak's body bounces before laying face first into the sand.

I turn back to Katrina, seeing my glowing white eyes reflected back to me in her own.

"Wait, we were-" she starts, but I easily pick her up throwing her over my shoulder before riding that same wave of power from the sky, letting it drop us over by Vapor on the border line.

Safe.

Katrina groans heavily on my shoulder, "it feels like I swallowed a whole ice cube" she groans as I drop her body to the ground, where she whines again.

But I can barely hear her over the buzz wrapped around my body.

Power.

Untapped power.

I've never been able to do that before, never so efficiently, never with so much energy.

Its like my body ... upgraded.

Not that I could b upgraded.

It doesn't get better than what I've got.

But the power thrumming through my system.

It wasn't Katrina's power either, no, Katrina's power usually had a too sweet taste to it.

This was purely mine.

What the fuck is happening?

My power up, her and mine connection.

It was like our bodies were ... preparing us for something.

Good or bad was the real question.

I turned to look back at Katrina, only to find her glaring over at me with Ira standing behind her.

A knife pressed to her throat.

You have got to be kidding me.

I sighed, "put it down Ira" I rolled my eyes. How could this girl be even more of an annoyance.

Katrina glared harder, "can you show a bit more concern" she hissed over at me.

I rolled my eyes, "where the fuck is she going to go with you? We're in the middle of the fucking desert" I hissed back at Katrina.

She glared, opening her mouth before Ira cut her off, "pick me Blake. You pick me and this can all just go away, it can be right" Ira pleaded, her eyes begging me.

This girl couldn't get more clingy or delusional.

Couldn't she tell her very presence gave me stomach cramps?

I sighed heavily, "Irene, just put the frizzy haired down, and I won't snap your neck".

Half truth.

I was going to stomp this swamp witch's neck.

Katrina gasped, "its humid, you light bulb".

I glared, even though my lips trembled.

How was I suppose to not love that woman?

"Why can't we be together, Blake, why!" Ira cried out, looking the very perfect part of a crazed stalker as she stood surrounded by me, Cha, Vapor, Diane, Ana, Corey, and Rhett.

I sighed again, watching her crazy expressed, "to be honest, looking at you feels like the equivalent to having crabs" I shrug.

Her expression crumbled.

I turned to Katrina, "and thats how you reject a love proposal" I state to her.

Her mouth drops as her lips slowly tilt into a smile, "you're a dick", I smirk at her reply.

Ira screeched tearing Katrina and I's eyes away from one another, just in time to watch Ira throw something to the ground.

A bright light flashed ... a portal opening.

My heart dropping to my stomach as I realized her plan, she was escaping with Katrina.

You've got to be fucking me.

I take a step forward, only for Ira to press the knife into Katrina's skin, "if I can't have you then-" she barely finished her sentence before Katrina slammed her large head back into Ira's, head butting her.

Ira stumbled back unconscious, falling through the portal.

It would have been impressive.

Had the dumbass not passed out and went falling back with her.

I barely got out a breath before the portal slammed shut.

We all blinked slowly, staring at the place they'd been two second ago.

Diane coughed, "did that actually just happen-"

But my eyes burned as I watched the place Kat stood just five second after escaping near death, and now the pathetic infant was kidnapped, again.

"FUCK!"
