Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 462

“Signal jammer on!” I heard as the guys ran to the street. It took two of them to toss the strips across the road but we weren’t as quick as I expected.

The first van managed to swerve and avoided the strips other than the back driver’s side tire. As the air came out, the van swerved but managed ot stay upright. The second van hit the spikes full on but the explosives hit as the back tires came into contact, forcing the van on it’s side.

It was like slow motion as I watched the last two vans try to swerve but failed and crashed into each other.

“Launcher!” Alec yelled as him and I ran out to the vans.

Barely missing the smoke, it was like something out of a video game. The grenade launcher hit the back tires, making the van fly in the air. It spun a few times before landing on the roof. The sickening sound of metal scrape across the pavement sent shivers down my spine.

“I got this van!” I yelled as I ran down the street. Smoke was eloping the entire vehicle but it was the oil leaking that really made me aware of the danger.

The footsteps behind me told me I was going to have help. The back doors were bent so it took a few tires of me pulling to get them open. The other guy handled the drivers. A total of four girls were chained to the walls. After a quick assessment, only one survived the crash.

“WE HAVE TO GO! IT’S ABOUT TO EXPLODE!” I heard my man yell behind me. He started grabbing my shirt and trying to pull me but I wasn’t going to leave this girl. It wasn’t Kara but she wasn’t going to die. The chair that was holding her wasn’t breaking. Even with all my strength, it wouldn’t budge.

“I’m sorry.” I said as I grabbed her wrist. Without waiting for a response, I squeezed quickly and as hard as I could. All the bones in her wrist shattered, allowing me to pull her hand out of the cuff.

I barely got my hand around her arm as I was ripped out of the vehicle, pulling her with me. Stumbling to my feet, we made it about three steps before the whole thing exploded, sending us flying through the air from the sheer force. Shielding the girl with my body, I took the brunt of it.

“Colt!” I heard someone yell but everything wa singing. Someone ripped me to my feet and pulled me along. Everything was far away sounding but my eyes scanned the road. Some girls were huddled together, holding on to each other, Alec had someone by the arm and the other men were getting their spikes.

It felt like time was standing still but it was probably only a few seconds before they started running to our own vehicle. I kept scanning the girls to see if Kara was there. My mind was fuzzy. One person was helping me run and there was a girl on my other arm. I wasn’t sure if I was dragging her or if she was dragging me.

How we got back to the van, I wasn’t sure. Next thing I knew, I was being tossed in the back of the van. My shirt was ripped open and the sounds started coming back to me.

“We got her!”

“Stop the bleeding!”

“Any shrapnel?”

“I’m fine.” I groaned as I forced myself to focus.
