He looked down at Vala’s still frame. Her dark mahogany eyes looked up at him with sadness emanating from her large dark body as her heart beat raced. Be strong, my love. We’re going to get out of here.

She blinked, understanding his words transmitted from his mind to hers.
“Now!”
In an instant she disappeared. The arrow barely hit the ground before she changed from a hawk and to a large eagle within the blink of an eye.
Cassius moved fast. He would be like a blur to their eyes running to grab the fallen fiery arrows on the ground and yanking the dripping gas pump from its cradle. With a quick flick of his wrist, he poured the gas on Adric’s car and the fallen Lycan’s body before tossing the fiery arrow toward it.
“No!” Whoever had yelled was soon drowned out by the explosion of the car.
Vala swooped over head through the flames and Cassius jumped up to grab onto her open claws as she swerved up into the air. An array of bullets, arrows and firearms broke into the sky as they drowned with the pitch black darkness of the evening sky as the flames threatened to consume the entire gas station down below.
