Chapter 62

• When the next guy advanced on me, my weak moment was long gone and I hoped for the chance to try it again. He made this screeching sound and I paused long enough to wonder what the hell good a noise like that would be in the middle of the death dance. His Bo connected with my shoulder hard enough my teeth felt like they’d just come loose. Now I was pissed. Like the much larger otherworldly guys didn’t already have enough of an advantage over me, they had to feed them freakin magic and then pummel me.
• Gritting my teeth, I integrated my old street fight style with the new moves Chase had taught me and went completely Taz on his ass. It was one of those moments when I was glad no one had a camcorder or the time to use it. He obviously had seen what I did to my last opponent because there was no way he was going to let me get near that region of his anatomy.
• While I took on one, I could hear the sounds behind me and knew Chase had his hands full with the rest, which meant sadly, I was on my own with this hopped-up villain. Moving to the side, I managed to avoid him, his Bo wasn’t as slow as his feet though and it swiped past my head close enough to move my hair.
