across the smooth black surface of the floor. “We have to move.”
“Wait,” Rob says. Kynar shows no sign of listening as Rob follows behind him, “Wait.”
“We cannot.”
Rob stops. He is not going anywhere until Kynar answers some questions. “Wait!” He watches Kynar stop then turn to him. He still cannot see Kynar’s face but he doesn’t care about that right now. He wants to know what is happening. “What are Screamers? And where are we exactly?”
Screamers are six feet in height and completely hairless. Their skin is a leathery dirty gray and their frame is muscular. They have solid gray eyes with no pupils and their mouth is humanlike with no teeth.
The screaming roar erupts again but this time Rob can tell that it comes from behind them. He stares across the room as he sees a portion of the far wall become even blacker. A twenty foot by twenty foot opening appears. Instantly ten screamers run from the opening and come charging toward Rob and Kynar.
“That is more than I can defend against,” Kynar says as he points across the room. “We run, now!”
“Go!” Rob yells as his survival instincts kick in. He starts running, “Go! Go! Go!”
Kynar runs behind the human. He is faster than Rob is, but he stays several feet behind him. He will not allow the Screamers to hurt or capture his Vaun.
Rob looks back as he runs. His eyes widen again as four of the chasing Screamers leap into the air. Large leathery white wings expand from their backs. They quickly close the distance between themselves and the ones they chase.
Rob and Kynar near the wall and Rob doesn’t see anything that looks like a door or a way out. He doesn’t stop running as he yells, “Where?”
“Straight!” Kynar commands. He does not look back. His power is greater than the human’s. He can sense the distance between them and the attacking Screamers. He knows that the exit will appear as they near. His thoughts are on getting there and preparing for the attack. “Do not slow!”
As they near the wall, an exit begins to fade into vision. Kynar follows close behind Rob as they run through the opening. The four Screamers land several feet behind them.
Kynar and Rob are in an arched hallway, which is twenty feet wide and has the same smooth black surface as the room they just left. The ceiling is ten feet high and has small red crystals projecting light. The hallway turns rounding into a straightaway that appears to go on without end. Rob looks over his shoulder as he runs and sees Kynar stop and turn to face the charging Screamers.
Kynar knows that he needs to end these Four Screamers before the other six reach them. He reaches back and draws a weapon. It is a three-foot long cylinder rod with blades on each end. He moves fast as the lead Screamer charges.
Rob stops running and turns around as Kynar stabs the weapon in and out of the first Screamer then spins around to engage the others. Kynar stabs the second Screamer in the chest as it grabs him. The weapon is in and out, as he knocks the Screamer to the side. He is too slow to avoid the third Screamer.
“Kynar!” Rob yells as the Screamer slams the cloaked Kynar into the wall. He watches helplessly as the fourth Screamer runs straight at him.
Kynar sees the Screamer charging the frozen Rob. He turns and throws his weapon through the air, slamming the blade into the middle of the Screamers back. The large being falls to the floor at Rob’s feet. Kynar has no time to protect himself as the remaining Screamer slams him back into the wall. He falls to the ground and the Screamer is on top of him quickly.
Rob stares at the dead Screamer at his feet. He sees the weapon in the beings back and he hears a loud screaming roar erupt from down the hall. He knows that the other Screamers will be there soon. He steps forward, pulls the weapon out of the Screamer, and charges to help Kynar. He yells as he
