Excerpt
from Chapter 14 [Afrax]
“Mom,
what is this place?” I can’t resist asking the question any
longer.
“This
is Afrax. A safe house and headquarters in International Falls for
other descendants.”
“I
never knew this many descendants were still living.”
“They
not all exhibit the trait but do possess.”
“Then
how can they pass through the corridor?”
“They
are cocooned by another descendant.”
“So,
it isn’t fail safe?”
“Not
completely. But the Iksha, as we know, only possess medically-induced
artificial traits. Those will not pass through. Our threat lies with
the captured descendants who have joined the Iksha.”
“I
haven’t told Adam that part.”
“Don’t
worry, I will.”
She reveals her idea
and I listen intently.
“We
would never lure them here where they could determine this location
and capture all. No. Instead we lure them to remote location, retrace
their steps and destroy them.”
It
is time that these monsters be stopped. Permanently.
“If
we cannot retrace their steps to locate Dad?”
“They
still die!”
Her voice lowers, and growls
in a way that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. My
mother is truthfully the only human being on the planet that I fear.
I’ve seen what she’s capable of.
“Then
let’s kill them Mom.”
“That’s
my girl. But first, we must discuss your boyfriend.”
Gulp.
I’d
rather discuss the Iksha.
