Kade’s voice crawled in my ear: river-road netting; thermal heat that wasn’t deer; a second team tracking north, because men who say east here often mean north with intent. I looked at Olivia. She looked at the room like a woman not done cataloguing. “You saw,” I said, because leaving it unnamed lets it grow the wrong teeth.

“The academy was founded in the year of death by our master, ruler of hell and the king of all demons, Lucifer. He stuck a deal with the heavens. Demons, selkies, fae, all creatures from the underworld could walk amongst humans, on a condition. They survive a year long training in his academy and pass the culling.” The crowd burst into loud screams at that. “There are no rules here,” Alstra looked straight at me. “And only the strongest survive. Good luck.” The crowd scattered immediately, and it seemed everyone knew where they were headed to. Everyone except me.

"Yeah, and he has a sister idiot." She glared at me. "Only one child from a generation goes to the Academy."

I was perfectly okay with sprawling anywhere and sleeping but since I was given supplies, I decided to make myself busy. After building my shelter, I realized I had enough time to relax. The forest was one of my favorite places. Being surrounded by nature was both comforting and invigorating. Bored, I made a small fire and sat by it.

There were at least fifty of us and only three of them. They were quick with their killing and capturing, but I managed to slip away along with a half-dozen others. We stumbled upon a tunnel and decided to see where it led to. The deeper we went, the darker it got and the more frightened we became. We’d abandoned our camp without packing up, so we had no food or water with us. After days of wandering in the darkness of the tunnels, I overheard them whispering about killing me. They wanted

Alec and Eric answer in unison, before Cain had a chance to speak. I smile at the enthusiasm the answer held, I had never been wanted before and this felt nice. “What?! How the hell are you going to help Hadley? They change into huge, strong wolves and fight huge strong wolves. What do you plan to do? Be bait?” Zylith bolted off the couch, arms flailing about in anger at my declaration. “Zylith you should sit.” I look up from my fiddling hands, I have decided to share this with her.

You said we won't meet any of this killer trees if we follow the 'yellow road.'" Ten cursed loudly. Refiling his gun with ammunition he fired aimlessly behind him. Yellow road on Ten's term. (The 'safe' path Salvador had marked out.) "Well don't blame me." Salvador breathed heavily. Multitasking between talking and running from a hoard of vines that carved for his flesh. "It isn't my fault that the area around the underground base is surrounded by a coal mine."

"Love that deep, that complete, you only get it once in an eternity. I had mine and lost it. Don't waste yours, child. Fight for Xavier with everything you have." Thelma's hand touches my shoulder, a gesture of comfort I don't deserve. "I'm sorry." "So am I." I straighten, pushing the grief down where it always lives. "But we don't have time for my ancient sorrows. Look." Below us, the Survivor Camp comes into view. Or what's left of it. The battle is over, but not the way we hoped. Bodies litter the ground, human and supernatural mixed together in death. The defensive positions have been overrun. And in the center of the devastation stands Yvonne, looking shell shocked and alone.
