Quentin had a faint smile on his face as he dug alongside Theresa, the shovel in his hands moving fast and sure. Wet sand and mud kept sliding down from above, but he worked without pause, clearing it away with practiced ease.
They kept digging, nonstop, always leaving a gap just wide enough for a person to crawl through–and finally, people scrambled out from inside.
“Run” Now”
Theresa exhaled in relief Covered head to toe in mud, she turned and led the group at a dead sprint toward the armored car. Kyle and Tyger were already in position, engines humming, ready for the pickup.
Then–boom
The sky cracked open. The first rain in what felt like forever came down in an unrelenting torrent, drenching the earth without mercy.
As she ran. Theresa heard a sound like an eggshell shattering.
She looked back.
High on the mountain behind them, a whole section of the slope gave way. The earth copsed, and a tide of mud and rocks surged down like an avnche from hell.
Faster and fiercer the lower it went.
It was a mudslide.
D*mn it all!
Cursing everything under the sun, Theresa didn’t hesitate. She flung Quentin over her shoulder, grabbed Lucas by the arm without a second thought, and vanished.
Teleportation.
From the armored car, <i>Kyle </i>and Tyger watched in stunned silence as Theresa–who had been running full–speed just seconds ago–blinked out of existence.
Then, just <b>as </b>suddenly, she appeared several yards closer–and again, <b>and </b><b>again</b>.
Each time, cutting the distance in leaps that defied logic. She was closing in like a <b>ghost </b>in fast <b>forward</b>. Everyone stared in awe.
“How many abilities docs Theresa even have? Tyger’s jaw <b>was </b>practically on the floor.
Kyle was just as shaken. So far, he knew Theresa had water–based, space–based, strength–type, and speed- type abilities and now, apparently, teleportation

What even was she?
s
He watched her <b>draw </b>closer, eyes wide with admiration. She was like a treasure chest <b>that </b>never stopped surprising him–each moment more valuable than thest.
She was unstoppable..
In a sh, she was at the car. She threw Quentin and Lucas inside without breaking stride.
Then, she tossed a rope behind her. “Grab it!”
Theron, still running full–speed, lunged for the rope and caught it. One by one, the rest of the team grabbed onto him, linking together in a desperate human chain.
Theresa grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled with everything she had.
“Move it!” she shouted to the driver.
Another boom–this one louder, angrier. The entire slope behind them copsed. Rain and gravitybined into a massive wall of mud that roared in pursuit.
The rope cut into Theresa’s palms like fire. She gritted her teeth, muscles straining, digging deep. Lucas and the others joined in, hauling hard.
Together, they dragged everyst one of them into the vehicle.
The moment they were in, the ce where they had just been seconds ago disappeared beneath a wave of
mud.
Everyone turned to look at Theresa. Their expressions were a mix of disbelief, awe, and something close to worship.
Graham stared at her <b>with </b>wide eyes, looking like a kid meeting their hero for the first time,
That was their leader.
She was incredible.
“D“mn, Theresa, Theron breathed, pure admiration in his voice.
Praise from someone like him hit differently.
Kyle and Tyger didn’t even need to speak. Their pride said it all, but Lucas–Lucas felt like a storm <b>had </b>broken open inside <b>him</b>.
He knew Theresa was powerful. He knew she was full of secrets, always more than she let on. The closer he got to her, the more impossible she seemed, but… why had she taken <b>him</b><b>? </b>
He understood her instinct to protect Quentin, or Kyle<b>, </b>or Tyger. Theresa was fiercely loyal, and when danger struck, she always protected her people first. Only once they were safe would she <b>think </b>about
anyone else.
But this time she’d grabbed hin <b>and </b>chosen him.

Did that mean…
<b>Lucas</b>‘ heart thundered in his chest. Did she already see him as one of her <b>own</b>?
<b>+5 </b>Free Coins
The armored car barreled down the broken road. Behind them, the mudslide kept chasing for a while, then veered off in another direction.
They weren’t out of danger, though. Up ahead, the road hadpletely copsed.
Ms. Hall! Ms. Hall!”
A man in a raincoat waved his arms wildly up ahead.
It was Landon.
The car rolled to a stop in front of a muddy pile of debris.
“You all okay?”
“Still breathing. Theresa said, soaked and streaked with grime.
The others didn’t look much better.
Landon took one look at them and nodded. The road’s gone. Come back to our old shelter. <b>You </b>can rest there tonight. We’ll move again once <b>the </b><b>rain </b>stops.”
