《The Powers Within》Chapter 9
Advertisement
I hear everything: the drive, the conversations, the feet. They had blindfolded me so I couldn't see. The words were foggy, but I understood bits and pieces. They said something about Taking me to someone named Quinn.
Are started to freak. My anxiety was getting the best of me. I assume my kidnappers noticed I was awake because they began to freak as well.
My hands were bound, and I couldn't breathe. I screamed. I screamed as loud and long as I could.
My kidnappers tried to stop me. I could feel them trying to stop me. I swung with my feet. They forgot to tie my feet.
I couldn't scream anymore. My throat hurt, and I couldn't breathe. I was crying and gasping.
Where is the man you love when you need him?
I then remembered I have powers. I use my abilities to burn through the ropes, and then I proceed to take off my blindfold.
What I see is blood. When I was kicking, I didn't realize what damage I had done. I am in a cave, and the walls are covered with blood. There are two bodies on the floor.
I walk to the cave opening and notice the dust storm got worse, and it was dark outside. I turn back inside and see the suits they were wearing when they kidnapped me lying on a bench on the cave side.
I walked to the cave wall and got a suit and put it on. It was super baggy, but it isn't anything I can't handle.
I go outside the cave, into the dusty darkness of the world. I keep walking, trying to find my way back to the base. I can't see that well even though the suit has night vision. It is too dusty to see.

I keep walking and walking and walking. I eventually lose the light of the cave and start panicking again. I silently tell myself to calm down, and I keep walking.
I start seeing shadows moving past the dust. They look like deformed wolves. They are for starters ten times larger than a normal wolf. They make low growls and are frightening to see.
I try to walk around the wolf-like creatures, but they sensed me somehow. I ran and ran and ran, but they were faster and stronger.
They trampled over me and knocked me down. I sprawled out on the ground, the wind knocked out of my lungs. They snarled and circled around me.
I screamed for help, even though I knew it was useless. The largest one, the Alpha I assumed, came and held me down with his paws. He drooled on my face and snarled in my face, baring his teeth. I think I cried a little.
I started fighting back. I would not die like this. I will not be eaten alive. I slammed my fist into the Alpha's chest, and I heard it crack as he flew back. The rest of the pack ran off.
I got up and started walking again. I started thinking I was helpless. I was officially helpless.
That was when I saw headlights. I thought it was perfect timing until I saw who it was.
It was someone who was also in the same suit as I was. They took off their helmet and started asking if I was okay. I
nodded. They were a girl. She had long black hair and piercing blue eyes. Her eyes were so blue that I could actually see them in the dark.
She kept telling me to get on the four-wheeler. I started thinking of a plan. I knocked her out and took the four-wheeler.

There seemed to be a built-in GPS device on the four-wheeler.
That must have been how she found me. I used the GPS to the best of my ability, and eventually found my way to the base.
I took off my helmet, and I went through the door, and everyone stared at me in shock.
Gray was the first to approach me and say something. "Love, where were you?" He asked. He seemed so very worried, so I told him what had happened.
I told him about how I was kidnapped, but I left out the fact that I killed two people. I told him about the wolf-like creatures that I was attacked by, and about the four-wheeler lady that thought I was one of her because of the suit.
Gray told me who my kidnappers were. He said that they were part of the rebellion against his dads "republic". He said that the wolves were Dust Wolves. They had been genetically modified by radiation from the nuclear burst.
After the whole "I was kidnapped interrogation" I went to my room and went to bed. I decided that being inside wasn't that bad.

Sanctuary
A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.
