First Night: Part VDarkness.

Pain.

James was lost on a black, stormy sea that swirled and roared around him. The raging waves of shadows seemed to be determined to suck him down into the depths of oblivion.

Thoughts and images flashed like lighting overhead. The smell of blood and cordite. The thunder of gunfire. The feel of flesh and bone being pounded beneath his fists. The rush of the wind. The feeling of speed. The image of a hand clad in a white glove smeared with blood punching numbers into a small keypad. Falling.

Time was now just an abstract concept. He had no idea how long he had been spun and tossed by the dark tide. It could have been days or me
Obedience: FinaleAdam gave a yelp of fear and scrambled to his feet.

A dark figure dropped to the ground from the fire-escape above and crouched on the pavement blocking the exit to the alley.

Adam took several stumbling steps backward and raised his hands in an awkward defensive pose. A corona of electrical energy enveloped his body. Tendrils of electricity arced from his limbs to spark against the metal of the dumpster and fire-escape.

The figure slowly drew itself up to its full height. It was a muscular man clad in a suit that looked similar to the one worn by the Wraith that Adam had seen earlier. Except this suit was dark blue and there was a red sta
Obedience: Part VAnd he had been running ever since.

Now, the Masters themselves would be aware of what he had done and it was quite possible that some of them would
Obedience: Part IVThe tall stone walls that had once encompassed Perez Park and been so futile in containing the horrors within had long ago been demolished. This gave Adam and the crowd a perfect view of the armoured personnel vehicles that now poured out of every nearby side-street and quickly moved to form a rough perimeter around the park.

Adam seized Laura's wrist and began to roughly shove his way through the crowd, hoping desperately that they could make it out of the park before the Crossbow officers had them completely surrounded.

:iconyalestewart:

I just love the details here. Especially 'Lil PinUp Girl's missing tooth and the wonderful expression on her face as she furiously pedals into battle on her Bigwheel of justice with 'Lil Proud Citizen swinging along in her wake.

Priceless!
