Chapter 55

Chapter 54 RYN

I turned and ran and as expected the beast came after me. I felt the ground tremble as its paws hit the ground and raw fear consumed me.

What do I do now? I have no weapon. No fighting chance! Theon's words came back to me. "...remember your mind is also a weapon and the closer to the boundary you are, the stronger it becomes." How do I use my mind?!

From the corner of my eye I saw the shadow of the beast grow larger meaning it was closing in on me. Suddenly, I threw my body to the left, crashing and rolling on the floor. I groaned as I hit the ground, feeling a sharp pain in my side. If I can feel pain now, then I will definitely feel the wrath of the beast.

The beast landed where I would have been and I used that opportunity to get to my feet and and make a run for the tree. When the beast realized it didn't get me, it roared in anger, and goosebumps rose out of my flesh.

I made it to the tree in time and faced the oncoming mutant.

My mind is weapon5. How? What do I do?

All of a sudden, I remembered a similar moment at Sadie's Estate. I had faced the mutant and it hadn't hurt me. Could the same happen here?

"Stop." I whispered as the beast stalked towards me.

Closer, and every atom in my body, spasmed and trembled in fear.

My mind is a weapon. The beast reached the boundary and towered over me with its claws raised and ready to strike. I raised my empty gun, choosing to believe it was loaded and aimed for its face. "Stop." I whispered and closed my eyes as I pulled the trigger.

To my surprise, it worked.

I opened my eyes just in time to see the beast stagger back and I pulled the trigger over and over again until it was down at my feet.
