"Isaac, come quickly," Alessa called, the familiar waves of anguish and rage overtaking her. She steadied herself against a nearby tree, trying to focus, to pinpoint the source. Wherever they were, they were getting close.
Isaac dropped his pack by the ruined stone wall and ran to her side, bracing her against the onslaught. "The creatures?"
Alessa nodded, barely able to choke out a word. "Definitely."
The rest of the squad, on the property line of an old estate where they intended to test out the new guns Sato had unlocked, had by now noticed what was going on and started withdrawing their weapons - they might be getting their chance sooner than they thought.
Carlos approached Isaac and Alessa. "What's going on, you two? Everything all right here?"
Isaac shook his head. "We might be under attack." They had shared Alessa's strange new empath abilities only with a few close allies, and Carlos was one of them.
