Chapter 82
Chapter 82 THEON
One minute, I witnessed Adam touch the gate, the next, I saw his body jerk and fly backwards. He crash landed on the ground and when we heard nothing, we all communicated our worst fears with our eyes. Adam might be dead.
We heard the shuffle of feet and then the legs of the driver came into view as he tried to help Adam up.
"Hey man. You okay?"
A groan left Adam's lips. "I'm good."
I finally released the breath I was holding.

"What happened? I asked.

I shared glances with my captain. We certainly didn't plan for that. I needed to think fast.
Just when I was thinking of a solution, I heard a loud roar coming from Adam's wire and watched the driver freeze.
"Sounds like mutants." My captain commented.
""Get out of there. Now." I ordered.
"What about the flower?" Adam asked as he struggled to his feet with the help of the man.
"Forget it. Leave now."
"Copy that." Adam panted and I watched through his perspective how the both of them began to run out of the garden. They got onto the main path and ran in the direction of the van but two mutants suddenly emerged from the woods, cutting off their escape route. Fuck!
"Whatever you do, don't run." I heard Adam say as he slowly moved back from the looming mutants, raising both his arms in surrender.
"W-Why?" The driver stuttered, his voice shaky.
"Because running excites their bloodthirst. Moving slowly is your best bet at survival."
One of the mutants snarled and in a flash, the driver shifted into his wolf.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Adam whisper-shouted but the grey wolf beside him barked at the mutants while simultaneously whimpering and taking steps back from them. "Seriously, you need to stop!" Adam said to it but it kept snarling at them, triggering the predators.
One growl from them and the wolf ran.
Thu,
In three minutes, they found the garden and went in.
From Adam's perspective it was the most beautiful garden I had ever seen, even though most of the flowers I saw there were poisonous.
"Be careful." I warned.
"Copy that." Adam replied, as he took cautious steps further. A couple feet away, we could all see the phoenix flower in the distance- golden yellow and red.
It was separate from the rest by a little gate all around it but under the setting sun, it glowed with a bright reddish-yellow hue that was stunning.
"DaMn, it's beautiful," Adam said in awe.
"Hurry up. You don't have a lot of time."
"Yes sir."
Moving quickly, Adam approached the gate but the moment he touched it, something terrible happened to him.
