Chapter 9
"surely, there's something we can do to come to some sort of mutual agreement?" David pleaded
"Silence!" Jess demanded,
"Don't take that tone with me lady!!" David ordered back
"oh great, a war of words," groaned Siobhan, just awakening to the sound of voices.
M was still unconscious, whereas Jason had been the first one up.
"Hang on, we're in a net of grass," Jason realised, "I can burn through it!"
"DON'T" David shouted, "You set that thing alight you'll be the only one who survives the inferno!"
"You can use your powers to stop the fire from getting to you!" Jason reasoned
"The fire yes, the heat, no." David instructed, "We'll be burnt alive"
"Besides, the net is coated with a type of natural varnish," Jess interrupted, "You couldn't set it alight even if you wanted!"
"I'll frigging kill you!!!" Jason yelled, but Jess just wafted his crys away with a flick of the wrist, "Now hush," she silenced the captives, "My accomplice is arriving!"
A shrill squawk echoed through the forest, and a shadow cast through the canopy, as Fi descended to the forest floor.
"Report!" Jess demanded
"A mutant has been seen running through the local area," Fi grunted, her voice one with a hint of fear;
"You know anything of this?" Jess questioned David
"He is invisible Jess," Fi added
"Is he really?" David quizzed sarcastically,
"so he is one of yours?" Jess concluded, "Fi, bring him in,"
"No need!" A voice said out of nowhere, when suddenly, Jess fell to the floor.
Fi launched an icy blast into a remote area of the open where the camp was, and a teenage boy fell from nowhere to the floor.
"Get him!" Jess growled
"No ta!" the boy shouted back, and launched a shot back at Fi, as she dodged it rather acrobatically. Jess had creped up behind him, and lashed at him with a vine. The boy blocked this attack, then a fierce hand to hand battle broke out between the two adversaries. Fi fired another icy blast at him, but missed, and Jess fell to the floor stunned, as the blast ripped through he chest. The boy fired a retaliating shot at Fi, this time more accurately. The blast tore through Fi, her wings disintegrated, and a black mark was left on her stomach, and was spreading through the rest of her body. Jess, now recovered from the shock, stood up, then ran to Fi as soon as she saw her
"FI!" she screamed in horror, as the blackness consumed Fi ever more, "What's happening?"
"She's dying," the boy answered coldly
