Tasting Darkness

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 11 – Tobias POV

I sailed through the air and landed heavily on the other side, my weight leaving an imprint in the dirt. Only a few of the hunters glanced away from their prey, the rest of them didn’t pay me any attention, as if I was no threat.

What they didn’t know was that the way they scoffed at me only lights up the fire inside me more. Their indifference added fuel to my anger, setting off a violent inferno of flames, ready to break free and turn everything to ashes.

They were underestimating me, I wouldn’t let that go unpunished. I would be damned if I ever allowed those fools to believe they were better than me, that I was no match to them.

The power hunter on my left pointed at me, and a spiral of fire shot out of their outstretched hand. They can’t be thinking I didn’t see this coming.

Although many might get scared by the sudden attack, it was nothing compared to the fire that raged through me. There’s no way I was going to let this go their way.

All of them were going to be stopped. One by one, until there were no power hunters left.

They had no idea what was coming for them. They didn’t suspect that their egos already dug their graves long before they decided to start this war.

The power hunters might have had the advantage of masses, but they forgot a very vital detail – Darius wasn’t trapped in here with them, it was the other way around. They were trapped here with Darius. Their shield on this place will be their undoing, only fools lock themselves in a cage with a predator.

They had the misfortune of being in here with Darius. He was them apart one by one. And judging by the crazed frenzied madness I felt writhing through him, he intended to do just that.

The hunters’ fire hit me, but my own flames surged out and absorbed the weak ones. “Like this,” I instructed before holding my hand out in a mockery of their attack.

My flames poured out and covered the hunter, bathing him in a blanket of raging fire that he couldn’t escape from. His shrieks got higher and higher as he batted at his body.
