them into their human form.
That net was covered in a green substance called copperas, a substance poisonous to the Araneas. It rendered them powerless and unable to turn. If the substance was ingested, an Aranea would die in less than a minute.
Connor struggled to free himself from the net to no avail.
“Do not let any of the green substance get into your mouth” he warned his troop.
Marcus fought the Reigns with his wave ball and as he was about to throw one ball at a group that had surrounded him. One Reign jumped on him from the back, throwing him to the ground.
“Marcus!!!!” Nessa shouted.
Ariel looked down from the air and saw the Reigns overpower Marcus. Her eyes had turned white and wind blew her hair high above her head.
“Close your ears” she yelled out to Nessa and Trina with the rest of their group following.
She opened her mouth and a deafening scream filled the ground. The Reigns screamed and burst into dust. She opened her mouth some more and moments later, she looked down to see the Reigns flee in pain.
She lowered herself gently to the ground and her eyes turned back to their normal blue. Everyone laid on the ground curled up with their hands on their ears.
“Is everyone ok?” she asked as she pulled off the net that had covered the Araneas.
“Damn Reigns” Connor cursed.
“I will kill them all” he continued as he rose from the ground and dusted himself clean.
Nessa helped Trina up and they rushed to Marcus’s side. Jack ran to Trina’s side and embraced her. Ariel looked away not understanding why it bothered her so much to see Jack getting cozy with Trina.
“Thomas” Nessa called as she searched the grounds in search of her boyfriend.
“Thomas” she yelled again when there was no response.
“Where’s Thomas” she asked hysterically as the pushed the solders to see whether he was in the middle of where they stood.
He was nowhere to be found. Nessa felt the world spin around her and suddenly, she couldn’t hear anything from what anyone said. All she heard where hisses in her ears. She moved around hysterically as tears filled her eyes.
“Not again, please, please” she cried.
Marcus headed to her side and held her by the shoulders then shook her.
“Nessa, listen to me, we are going to find him honey ok?” he said.
Trina rushed to her side and hugged her sister.
“It’s going to be ok Nessa, please don’t cry” she said as she stroke Nessa’s hair.
“How could this happen, did anybody see them take him?” she asked between sobs as she searched the soldiers faces.
She covered her face with her hands and knelt down as she cried.
“Why, why didn’t he get into the tunnels like I told him?” she cursed.
“I’m going after him” she said as she got up from the ground and wiped her tears dry from her face.
“You cannot go after them alone Nessa” Marcus said as he blocked her way.
“I have speed Marcus, I’m sure I can catch up to them” she said in argument.
“And do what, when you get to them huh?, fight them all alone?” Marcus asked with a domineering tone.
“Well, I don’t care, all I know is I can’t sit here and do nothing. He is a human in the midst of vampires, I can only imagine the worst if I don’t do this, they’re probably going to eat him alive after they suck all the blood out of him. He is the love of my life Marcus” she said with teary eyes.
“Ok, Nessa, I understand how you feel, but you’re not going alone, we at least need a plan before we go after him” Marcus advised.
“Do we even know where they’ve taken him?” Trina asked grimly.
“I think I know where they took him, their castle is a few miles north of this camp. It’s on a cliff near the shore of this island” Marcus said.
“We need to go in as quickly and quietly as possible” he continued.
“These
