Book 1: Shadows Rising

Chapter 7

Jack woke up in a dirty, dark cage. All his equipment was gone and he was alone.

“Jack?”

“Emily?” Jack asked, looking at the cage opposite him, Emily was sitting in it.

“What happened?” Jack asked.

“They destroyed the house and kidnapped me, took all my equipment” she answered.

“Who are they?” He asked.

“The Tribe of Shadows” she answered. Jack cursed under his breath, and then heard footsteps.

“Quiet” Emily whispered. A guard walked up to their cages. Holding a rifle. Jack noticed something, the bars of the cage was covered in spikes of metal. He smiled and reached out between the bars, he grabbed the guards neck from behind and pulled him backwards, impaling him on the spikes. Jack grabbed the keys from the guards pocket and opened the cage. He walked over to Emily and let her out.
