He is more powerful than ever and threatens the lives of those she holds most dear. His plan? Get his hands on Annie and use her Kinetic energy to destroy them all. When Annie finds herself with an opportunity to end him, she pauses, horrified by the scars covering the face she once loved. A split second that will cost her everything…
Excerpt
I stooped
down and back-elbowed him across his jaw. His head fell sideways, but not for
long, he turned to watch me but said nothing. I got up and slammed a good kick
to his side. He winced but remained silent.
“What are you
up to?” I demanded.
“Killing.”
“Why?”
He smiled.
“It’s fun.”
“I’m about to
call Derek, but I’d like to know what you’re after first.”
“Let me go,”
he said.
“Oh… you’re hilarious.”
“You’ll
regret keeping me here, Annie. I can’t afford to be captured right now.”
“Oh, RIGHT,
what was I thinking? I should have called ahead to schedule an appointment for
your capture. I just didn’t have your
number!” I watched him in disbelief.
“I don’t have
email or Twitter either. You know why?” His lip twitched. “I can’t have followers.”
I heard a
chuckle from behind.
“Really,
Beth? You’re going to encourage him?”
“What? No, it
was just… I thought it was… funny,”
she finished saying in a low voice.
I turned back
to Nick and was about to grab his neck when I realized being that close to him
would not be a good idea. If I allowed myself to get that close to him, he
could hypnotize me to let him go, so instead, I kicked him.
“Now you’re
just doing this for spite,” he said.
“Yes.” I
kicked him again. “You started it at Worldsafe.”
“What are
you, ten? I pinch you, you pinch me? Actually, I wouldn’t mind pinching you…” I
was about to slam him again. “No, stop. Stop! Your kicks are more painful than
mine. Stop it.”
“Any more
requests? It seems you think you’re in charge here,” I said.
“Just, wait,
all right? Don’t call Derek. Don’t let anyone know I’m here,” Nick begged.
“Scared?” I
smirked.
