For a moment I couldn’t move I was frozen My pal frorunting, could hear the sound of flesh hitting flesh The sky lit up a bright ahed

We were going to die The panic dug in deep I lifted randfather’s body Tears blurred my vision I didn’t want to die Not like this I didn’t want Seth to die

Calling on every bit of strength I had, I rolled and grabbed the shotgun Hands shaking, I shifted onto my back, rolled up, and leveled the weapon at the Titan He had Seth by the throat I threw up a prayer and pulled the trigger The kickback flattened me back down, but I saw the buckshot hit Hyperion in the back He dropped Seth and stumbled to the side Smoke wafted out fro around, he sulated the moment it hit the dirt

Holy crap

"That wasn’t very nice of you" He took a step toward me, and he actually sers trembled as I tried to squeeze off another round, but in that sarace

Soh-pitched whistle Hyperion staggered back and then went down on one knee I hadn’t pulled the trigger Seth hadn’t delivered a blow

An arroas sticking out of the Titan’s shoulder--a wooden arrow that caught fire then disappeared into a poof of ashes Another slammed into his chest

A hand curled arounda startled shriek out of me I twisted, ready to unload the weapon, but I came face to face hat could only be described as an ethereal, beautiful wos kind of elf

Pointy ears and chin High cheekbones Long brown hair And her skin had a faint sheen, a dewy glow She wore a skintight, forest-green jumpsuit, and her eyes were all-white as they focused on me I inhaled sharply, and all I could smell was rich soil and sun

"Your father sent us," she said, her voice as light as spring showers as she propped a crossbow on her shoulder

Us?
