Z Murder Drones Novels & Stories

The pulse-pistol fired, the violet bolt grazing my shoulder and searing through the silk of my dress, but I didn't stop. I slammed into him, my fist connecting with his jaw. There was no snap of bone—only the sickening crunch of reinforced polymers and sparking wires. He didn't feel pain. He swung a metal-reinforced arm, catching me in the ribs and sending me flying across the chamber. I hit the server rack, the impact knocking the wind out of my lungs as the black diamond at my throat let out a frantic, high-pitched chime. Ping. Ping. Ping. "Zora, the drones!" Mara’s voice screamed from the comms. "They’ve bypassed Dante! They’re in the sub-levels! We can’t hold the door!"

"I'm a vampire, remember? I can't do it forever though!" As we soar over the river, I can't help but feel a sense of freedom. For the first time in my life, I'm not bound by the limitations of my human body. I feel weightless and alive, as if I could fly forever. I glance over my shoulder at the wreckage we're leaving behind. Hawthorn's main building is smoking, and several Silver Hunters stand at the wishing well tower, watching me and Alec escape. "Even a few minutes is good!" I shout over the wind.

The drones they'd been after had changed hands and could possibly be used to spark a global war, and that wasn't worth working on. "Excuse me?" Jamie took a few steps toward Zora, his face twisted up. "You just listened to all that and you're saying, not our problem?" Zora turned her head, regarding Jamie with that cool composure Tabby hated. "Our objective has and will continue to be the capture of Gazi Polat." "You have got to be shitting me." Tabby straightened, glaring at the woman. "What the hell am I doing here then? Gazi sold the drones, so I guess I'm Team FBI now?"

"Drake told me what happened. We came as soon as we heard. I'm so sorry for your loss. What can we do?" "Well, needless to say, we closed down the main lobby and casino for the day and the crime scene has remained untouched," Kellen said. "We were hoping you might share some insight as to the crime. We also wish to discuss other crimes in the area." Xander nodded. "Yes, of course." Then he turned to me. "This is Kalyssa Carran, our new Mate." My head snapped up, but I said nothing. "She's a veterinarian and her clinic just burned down," Xander replied. "And it was clearly arson. I suspect the crimes may be related."

he groans before snapping his fingers and we were back in Mika's house "Hehe," I grin before walking out of the bathroom with Death following and then stepping into Mika's room. I put my hands on Death's chest trying to push him out, but he smirked down at me standing up without even faltering a little. Before I was able to say anything, Death and I both ducked as a knife went flying over us. "Mika!" I shout turning around to her quickly, hoping that there are no more weapons in her assault. "Oh, I'm sorry," She says smacking my hand before knocking our fists, "Who's this?" She asks before looking at his face and jumping back

They climbed a crumbling ladder, then emerged into the open, into the old graveyard behind the palace. The moon was high. Mist hugged the headstones. Somewhere in the distance, dogs barked. Lights moved in the trees. Unity paused for a moment, just long enough to hear it. Whirring. Mechanical. Fast. Drones. “We need to split up,” Unity said, spinning toward Zan. “No,” Zan barked. “Yes,” she insisted, shoving a small flash drive into his hand. “Take this. If I get caught, don’t let them have it.”

Lorren stumbled backward, his lantern crashing into the water and hissing out. Darkness swallowed them. The hum rose into a pitch that made teeth ache. Alexander yanked the pin and hurled the charge. For half a second, nothing happened. Then the tunnel filled with white light — blinding, burning, brilliant. The sound of metal collapsing echoed like thunder. Sparks rained. Water hissed and boiled. When the flash faded, everything was still again. The first drone was a heap of melted steel. The second lay motionless in the water, its head split open. The third — the smallest — was still twitching, dragging itself toward the fallen core. Jun stepped forward and kicked it hard enough to send it

Lisa raised her head, staring at me in confusion. "I thought about what would happen if the drone suddenly lost power and I fell to my death. I wondered if you'd feel any grief, only to realize right after that you wouldn't. I'm sure you'd just think that the toy broke too easily and that you should find a more durable one next time." Lisa turned deathly pale. "That's not true, Dominic. I—"

"I'm going to drown it." The drone fired.

I don’t want to think that Amelia might be dead by now but a part of me wants to be realistic. I am in a meeting with the elders in the command center now together with Keifer, Lucas, Fredrich, William and Leah, the rouge we caught last week. It was the elder’s idea to wait for the right time to have our attack but I can’t seem to gasp their reason for it. I want to get my mate now. And the words Leah told us is an enough proof that alpha Drake really had my mate. “The spies we deployed in the Full moon pack had never returned yet. A rouge’s word is never enough to risk our entire army of warriors and start a war Alpha Dimitri. How can you be so sure that she was not sent by Alpha Drake to m
