The words hovered there dripping with blood

It wasn’t an option

It was a command.Full novel: CROSS: Blood Horizon — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“W-what” Leo muttered

The others didn’t seem to be seeing it

Leo’s eyes wandered past the other team

There was a figure

Far off in the distance that they looked blurry The figure stood there with what seemed like an umbrella And behind the figure was something shaped like a wagon And the shape of horses “Hey!

Eyes right here” Damian charged

Leo locked on to Damian

The kill command got bigger and closer in his mind ‘KILL’

It kept flickering on and out of existence

Leo clenched his teeth

Just to get punched in the face

Damian’s earth crusted fist sent him skidding across the dry ground Leo caught himself Blood spilled from his lips But still.

He tried looking past the group

The mysterious figure was gone

Even the wagon

“What?

Having second thoughts?” Dezmond asked

Electricity flaring off his body

Leo tensed

Hardening his stance

Dezmond threw his hands back

Then aggressively aimed forward

Electricity stormed forward at Leo

“Gaaagh!” He screamed as it enveloped his whole body He held his ground But the electricity was still too much He was stunned Damian rushed forward Hammer grazing up the dried earth He raised it and swings Slamming Leo across the face Instantly drawing blood Leo staggered But Damian followed up with another Blood splashed from his face Painting the earth below him Leo tried blocking the next blow But then ‘KILL THEM ALL.’

It commanded

Leo clenched his teeth

Suddenly Damian’s hammer sent him a few feet back

…

Scott was at the back with Lydia

She leaned onto him, Lydia held the staff

Scott watched as the two beat Leo

“Not so tough now are you?!” Dezmond shouted

As they barrage Leo non stop

Every thud was heard when Damian’s hammer hit Leo Making Scott squint a little “Fight back!” Dezmond shouted “Fight back!”

Wham.

Damian’s hammer connected again

Leo was flat on the ground

Leo was there panting

His face swollen

One eye shut

Vision blurring

‘YOU DON’T DESERVE THIS’

Leo got to his knees

Blood drained from his mouth

Even a few teeth fell out

‘Kill THEM ALL’

“Raaagh!” Leo shouted “Get out of my head!!”

Leo was about to charge Dezmond

But he couldn’t move

Earth seemed to have formed around his legs

Instantly Damian appeared

Hammer raised

Long spikes on it

He raised it above Leo’s head

Leo’s eyes widened

“Goodbye” Damian muttered

…

Thomas’s POV

Thomas stood there looking at the vial This story is hosted at g.com.

He shook the green liquid

His eyes squinted as he pulled the vial closer He looked back at Autumn This must be what they used earlier “Well here goes” Thomas muttered He walked over to Autumn’s body and knelt He rested her head in his arms Staring down at her He moved away the blonde hair that crowded her face Thomas looked back at the vial Then took a deep breath Thomas uncorked the vial carefully.

“Please work…” he muttered

He tilted Autumn’s head gently and poured the glowing liquid between her lips He looked Nothing He waited Nothing “Fuck..” he breathed Suddenly Autumn started twitching uncontrollably She shook wildly almost like a seizure “Autumn?!” Thomas shouted She continued to shake Suddenly, something shifted beneath her skin Different parts of her body swelled and sank unevenly Her face swelled before her hand did Then it all shrink “Fuck…

what have I done?”

Thomas started to hold Autumn closer

Hugging her tightly, it was all he could do

Autumn continued to shake

Her eyes flickered

Till she randomly stopped

But she was quiet

Thomas squeezed tighter

Thomas released the hug to look at her

She was healed no bruises

But she wasn’t waking up..

Thomas stared silently lips slightly apart

Eyes searching for the slightest of sign

But nothing

Thomas slowly nodded gently laying her back to the ground Thomas turned his back Heads low Trying not to look “I’m sorry…” He says softly His fist clenched

…

HAAAH!

Autumn lurched upright as she dragged in a desperate breath Thomas startled dashed away on instinct “Ah!” He yelled He was at the end of the clearing “Autumn?” He called Autumn was panting Thomas rushed over “You’re ok” he says relieved “H-how did you?” Autumn pant Thomas held her arms “It’s the only way they recovered from their wounds” He answered “But..”he glanced down “I wasn’t sure tho”

“You’re safe now” He looked up

Autumn stared before smiling softly

Then, without warning, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him Thomas froze.

Her grip was weak, trembling slightly.

“Thank you…” she whispered against his shoulder Slowly, Thomas hugged her back Then Something appeared in her mind Words ‘SAVE HIM’

The words pressed against every other thought Autumn abruptly pulled away Staring at Thomas “I’m sorry I-”

“Where’s Leo?” Autumn asked cutting herself off “H-he went after them” Thomas answered “I tried to stop him but”

Autumn was holding her head

One eye shut tight, the other squinting

“What’s wrong?” Thomas asked

“The bushes” she pointed

Thomas turned This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.

A neigh was heard

Out of the bushes came a black horse

Swaying from side to side

Like a drunk man

Eyes purple and swirling

It neighed

The second they saw it’s eyes

Everything around them changed

They were in this pocket space spinning

All about

Neither could say anything , it all happened so fast Suddenly They appeared in an empty wasteland The earth was dried and cracked A few fossil bones in the ground The sky was yellow As far as it stretched they saw nothing “What the heck was that?” Thomas shivered “I think I’m gonna be sick”

…

Thomas look behind at Autumn

She was looking somewhere else

Thomas turned and look

His eyes widened

A soft gasp escaped his lips

It was Leo getting jumped

He was now on his knees

Damian raised his spiky hammer

LEO’S POV

“Goodbye..” Damian say

Leo briefly accepted his fate

Waiting for the hammer to bash his head In

He shut his eyes

“NOOOO!!” Someone shouted

Leo opened his eyes

“Huh?” Damian looked

But as he turned to the left

A raging big ball of flame was heading his way Before it even slapped Damian Autumn swooped in and picked up Leo Damian tried to shield But the flame exploded on impact Slamming Dezmond away Blowing dust, smoke and debris on Scott and Lydia

…

Autumn was in the air floating with Leo hanging Leo hung limp Blood dripping from his face to the ground Thomas started walking over He was focused on his targets Hands slightly flaring The smoke started to clear There we saw Damian still in his blocking position The earth around his arms..

slowly cracked and shattered, even his hammer The smoke around Lydia and Scott cleared Lydia was coughing while rubbing her eyes Scott didn’t flinch He had a serious gaze under those goggles He looked at Autumn floating in there air with Leo Then at Thomas who was flaring while heading over.

Dezmond was flat on his back

He sat up, rubbing the back of his head

He let out a slight groan

Scott and Lydia were at the back

Damian in the middle, smoke rising off his body Dezmond was on the right of Damian, sitting on the ground.

Thomas finally reached and turned towards them Autumn flew over behind Thomas resting Leo on the floor He was on his knees Thomas aimed his hand at Lydia and Scott Flames enveloped it “No more games” He says “Give us back the key”

Lydia clutched the staff tighter

Scott took a Infront of Lydia

…

Seeing this Thomas’s hands flared

“So be it”
