Semua Bab Night Slayer: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Nothing could be done to prevent the projectile leaving Holland’s hand from hitting its mark. As fast as Aaron was, Holland had some sort of homing device inside of her magic that found him, across the room, while he was moving so quickly, Jo could hardly see him when she turned her head in that direction. It found him anyway and brought that movement to a screeching halt. Instead of moving of his own accord, fighting the Vampires and Assassin Hunters that were doing their damndest to protect their queen from the LIGHTS team members infiltrating their lair, he was now flying backward into the cave wall. Jo’s reaction time seemed to slow down tremendously, as if she was watching an action movie and the scene was playing out in slow motion. She didn’t even recognize her own voice when she screamed, “Dad!”  For

“How are you, Jo?” Zane arrived with much of the rest of the team. The battle was all but over. There were a few Vampires and Assassins hiding in some of the rooms in the cave, but Lucas and his Souled Vampires were handling that as the LIGHTS team members gathered in the cavern where Aaron was still lying on the floor, but at least the blood was hidden now beneath a sheet that Lucy had brought in with her from one of the bedrooms when she’d come a few minutes before Zane made his way in. Cassidy’s best friend, like the others, had tears streaking her face. Everyone was in a state of shock.“I’m numb,” she said. She hadn’t moved since she’d slid out of the way to make room for the Healers. That might’ve been five minutes ago or five hours ago, she wasn’t sure. All she knew was that her dad was dead, and there were a lot of reasons why that s

Kansas City was nothing like she remembered it. The drive from the airport to LIGHTS headquarters was so depressing, Jo was tempted not to look out the window at all, but she couldn’t help herself. The entire city looked like a demilitarized zone--after a bombing--and she couldn’t help but remember how alive and full of adventurous things to do and places to go the city had once been. Now, it was full of crumbling buildings, cars that looked like they’d been bombed, boarded up windows on the dwellings that were empty and bars on the ones that were not.Jamie had been right. Two days after Aaron’s cremation, when the team was ready to come back to the US, there were plenty of former LIGHTS team members or their allies prepared to help, including several European governments that could feel the relief from the vise Holland had held them in. Everyone who had wanted to come back had bee

Leading a team meeting was a lot harder than it looked. Cadon McReynolds stood at the front of the conference room, staring out at almost three dozen faces. He’d seen his father do this more times than he could count. Aaron always made it seem like it was the simplest task imaginable. Just stand up here and talk, tell everyone what the plan was, and they would listen and then do it.Now that he was the one standing here, he could see why his sister had had so many problems with it when she’d first started leading the LIGHTS team. Still, Jo had made it look easier than this.“Well, Cadon, where do you want to start?” Elliott Sanderson  asked from a chair to his right. The Guardian was slouched so low, he looked like a high school student in the back grow of math class. Except for mu

Having an airport in close proximity to headquarters had always been a positive, but as Cadon rode over to the facility in the passenger seat of an SUV piloted by Elliott, he wished it was further away so he’d have more time.They were going to check on their own aircraft to see if any of them were salvageable, but Margie had also ordered a couple of transport helicopters to be there in about an hour. She’d talked to the Australian prime minister and gotten the go ahead to let LIGHTS borrow two choppers and their pilots for a few days, so long as they were just dropping off and coming right back. She didn’t want to lose a warbird rescuing prisoners that weren’t related to any of her friends--apparently. Now that Jamie was free, the Austrailians would be withdrawing back to their own continent pretty quickly.They had also been given the
