Shadows and First Blood Chapter 25 — Fractures in the Night
The city had a rhythm now, but it was jagged, unpredictable, and dangerous. Every street held secrets, every alley could hide a hunter, and every shadow could conceal betrayal. I had learned to move through it with care, each step calculated, each breath measured. But tonight felt different—heavier, tense, like the air itself was warning me.Jay and I had spent the day preparing, testing escape routes, mapping alleys, and marking rooftops. He had proven himself competent, alert, and cautious—but trust was a fragile thing. I had learned that lesson long ago, and even grief couldn’t soften it.We paused on a rooftop overlooking a narrow street, rain having soaked the asphalt and turned it into a mirror of scattered neon lights. Jay scanned the horizon, hand hovering near a concealed knife.“They’re active tonight,” he murmured, eyes narrowing. “Hunters. Moving in coordinated pairs.”I felt the familiar surge o
Shadows and First Blood Chapter 24 — Lines in the Shadows
The city had a rhythm now, and I had begun learning it—the quiet lull between footsteps, the flicker of neon reflecting in puddles, the subtle shifts in wind that betrayed the presence of hunters. Every detail mattered. Every shadow held secrets. Every breath could be the difference between life and death.I moved through an alley I had scouted the night before, boots silent, coat collar raised against the damp air. The notebook in my bag—Travis’s words, jokes, and half-finished plans—was both compass and talisman. He had believed in me, and now I had to believe in myself.The faint scrape of metal against concrete made me freeze. My pulse spiked, and instincts kicked in. I pressed my back against the wall, knife in hand. Out of the shadows emerged not a hunter, but a figure I hadn’t expected—a familiar presence, cautious, wary, yet clearly seeking something.“Silver?” the voice hissed, low and cautious.I n
Shadows and First Blood Chapter 23 — First Steps in the Dark
The streets had a new edge to them now—sharper, meaner, less forgiving. Travis was gone, and the world hadn’t softened because of it. The city hummed around me, indifferent to loss, indifferent to survival. The alleys that had once felt like shortcuts now seemed like labyrinths lined with invisible traps.I moved cautiously, every sense alert. Hunters still prowled, still tested boundaries, still sought me out. I kept to the shadows, learning every corner, every flicker of neon, every shadowed doorway. I carried Travis’s memory like armor, a fuel that mixed grief with something sharper: determination.A man stepped from a doorway, cigarette smoke curling from his lips. He didn’t see me at first, just lit the tip of his cigarette and exhaled a lazy stream of smoke. But instinct had me pressed against the wall, knife tucked into my coat, eyes tracking every micro-movement.He glanced my way, suspicious. I held my breath, letting the fog and shadows blend me into t
Shadows and First Blood Chapter 22 — Shadows of Memory
The rain had stopped, but the city remained slick, wet asphalt reflecting the dim glow of streetlights like fractured mirrors. I walked through the empty streets, boots splashing in shallow puddles, hands tucked deep in my coat pockets. Every shadow felt alive, every corner a potential threat. Hunters could be anywhere, waiting for a misstep, a moment of hesitation.And yet, for the first time since Travis had fallen, I moved without panic. Not because the danger had lessened, but because I had to confront a different kind of fear: the emptiness he left behind.I paused on a bridge overlooking the river, fog curling above the water like smoke from some unseen fire. The city hummed faintly beneath me, a distant, indifferent heartbeat. I pressed a hand to my chest, feeling the phantom weight of him—his laughter, his grip, the way he had teased me through danger and chaos.“I can’t do this,” I whispered into the mist, voice hoarse. “I
Shadows and First Blood Chapter 21 — Echoes of Silence
The world felt empty. Not the quiet of the night, or the stillness of a deserted alley, but the kind of emptiness that gnawed at the edges of your soul, leaving hollows where laughter, warmth, and life once lived. Travis was gone. Every corner of my mind replayed the last moments—the weakness in his grip, the faint smile he gave me as life slipped from him, the final whispered words that now haunted my every breath: “Alive… together… always…”I sat on a rooftop overlooking the city, knees pulled tight to my chest, rain beginning to drizzle, cold droplets soaking through my coat. The fog rolled in from the streets below, curling like fingers around the buildings, hiding the world from view. And yet, the fog didn’t hide the memories of him—his laughter, his stupid, charming grin, the way he teased to mask his worry.I let my head fall into my hands. The city noises were distant, almost meaningless. Every siren,
Shadows and First Blood Chapter 20 — The Last Night
The alley was quiet, but the silence was heavy—oppressive, like the world itself was holding its breath. Travis leaned against me, body trembling, his pale blue eyes dimming beneath the weight of the weapon’s impact. Blood darkened his shirt, seeping through in a spread that made my stomach knot and my hands shake.“Stay with me,” I whispered, voice breaking. My hands pressed against him, trying to stop the impossible.He managed a faint, wry grin, lips trembling. “You… always… dramatic princess.”“Stop joking,” I said through tears, voice raw. “You’re not allowed. Not now. Not like this.”Travis coughed, leaning closer despite the pain, pressing a weak kiss to my temple. “Doesn’t… feel like the right time… to be serious.”I shook my head, gripping him tighter. “No. This isn’t happening. You can’t… I can’t l
