“What?” I quiz and glance back and forth trying to understand. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t feel it? I guess you haven’t been here long enough yet. The frequency, it has another pitch in the notes and exposure over time dampens our strength and ability. He’s making sure we can never take him down and are too feeble to even escape this place.” Taemin rolls enough to stare at that same speaker, and in unison Carmen, Sierra, Radar, and I all turn and stare at the black box hung up about forty feet in the air and scrutinize it for a moment. A sudden tense quiet as we all take a moment to digest this.
“So, you’re saying the villagers are all weak right now, and that …. up there…. will weaken the rest of us before long?” I blanche and scrub my fingers through my hair at my temples, suddenly worried and instantly afraid. My heart lurches into my mouth and Radar and I gawp at one another as a problem suddenly hits us.
“Nailed it. We have no strength, and our speed is almost nonexistent. Look at us…we can’t even heal properly, we’re all sick. Juan really knows how to hurt his own kind.” Aiden loses all fight and seems to cave into a disheveled heap under Radar, a long sigh as he gives into the fatigue overtaking him.
“Oh my god.” Carmen verbalizes my gut reaction. A moment of panic sets in and I glance around at my comrades, meeting equally shocked expressions as all our minds go to the same place.
Colton, we have a problem.
I link him in desperation as visions of vampires taking down our strongest flood my mind and I’m suffocated by the sudden nausea and fear that we just walked ourselves into a trap set by Juan. He can’t regain power over his people, but he surely won’t mind seeing them all die.
He’s pumping out a tone to disable wolves, yet if tear the boxes down then the frequency to counteract the vampire’s weapon will also be useless. It’s a no win either way and now as the noises drift towards us on the wind of a full throttle war being raged in the valley, I start to wonder which side is actually winning.
The Frequency
We know. Vampires are trailing off and heading your way. Get inside the manor and find the control room to try and disable it.
Colton’s fast response is ragged and strained, and I can tell they are really in the thick of it and not doing so well. I can feel his fatigue, hear his stress levels in just one link. Without seeing what’s going on, I can tell the valley must be a bloodbath right now. They are fighting hard to stay in control and God knows how many have died already.
Are you okay?
I reply in panic, not knowing how to feel with the way things seem to have suddenly combusted and are no longer in our control. Our plans have gone to hell, and I feel useless and somehow cut off from what’s going on. No sense of what to do or how to help.
We’re holding on and pulling villagers with us. We’re coming to you as soon as we can but just do as I ask. There are more of them than us and half of the Valley wolves are weak and sick.
We shall Alpha. Be safe… Luna…. He’s right. We need to disable it.
Radar breaks into the link, which Colton sent using the sub pack bond before I can formulate a response. I’m still rooted to the spot as I let this sink in and try to think. The urgency around us hemming in on me so I feel instantly suffocated and my brain doesn’t want to cooperate. It’s spiraling.
