章 237: Will they survive?

The four remaining kids had to battle the monsters as Erik and Nathaniel ran. They lost too much time, thinking Nathaniel would have remained with them to fight the monsters, but they didn't and were now trapped inside the alley with the monsters already on them. The four young men stood their ground, their weapons at the ready.

The thaids were getting closer, and Luke could feel the fear creeping up on him once again. But they couldn't back down now. Their survival was on the line. Luke looked at Jack, Adam, and Alex, the other three that came with him to kill who they learned was Frant's awakener; he saw the determination in their eyes, but with it, it was clear there was also fear. Luke took a deep breath and reminded them of the stakes at hand, emphasizing that failure was not an option as that would lead to their deaths.
