Mason’s point of view
“Everett, stand behind us,” I ordered. I didn’t mean to sound forceful and demanding, but his life was at stake. The vultures could seriously hurt him with their bolts. As Nick and I fought back with our lights standing side by side, Everett managed to stay behind us.
I could tell from the way they maneuvered and worked as a team that this group of vultures was smarter. Not only that, their lights moved like whips. Whack! Whack! Damn it! One lashed across my shirt and burnt through it. Then I wondered if I could move my light like them. Before I could try, the five vultures joined their bolts into one, and it was coming straight for us.
“Shit!” Nick yelled, combining his light with mine. “Theirs is so much bigger and brighter. Can we take them?” Our light hit theirs, creating a massive spark of light, blinding our visions. The impact caused individual lights to shoot out.
“Hell, yes.”
Feeling like more distance was between Sky and me, I became desperate. I didn’t care if I burnt down this forest. I was going to get to Sky … now. What I was about to do next would drain me, but it was the only thing I could think of.
Feeling blistering heat course through me, with one hand raised to the sky, I called upon the lightning. Thunder roared loudly and lightning lit up the dark sky. I directed it to the vultures, and to the light Nick and I were emanating.
“Ace in your face!” Nick shouted. Just as Nick said those words, the strength of our light expanded, and at the same time the lightning impacted on the vultures.

Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a clear sunny day? Don’t blame Mother Nature.
Skylar
Rome should have been having the best summer ever, before heading off
to college. Suddenly her whole life changes while visiting her cousin,
and meeting the Grand brothers; Mason, in particular. Though she’s sure
he is someone she should stay away from, the attraction was undeniable.
Strange
things begin to happen, throwing Skylar’s life into turmoil.
Implausibly, she gets caught up in a world where the descendants of
ancient gods have super powers, and evil beings are after her. Not only
are her discoveries difficult to accept, but now she is running out of
time and running for her life, while trying to unravel the mystery of
what they want from her.
Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was born, will Skylar find the answers she seeks, or will she die trying?
