![]() The Chosen Knights
FREE for a limited time only! -- EXCERPT: Eli willed his sword away. It disappeared behind his back, just the way I would have done it. “You know nothing. Nothing about me is human. I won’t be a part of something that could kill any one of you.” “How could it kill us if—?” Then I had a thought, recalling the first time I’d seen him in the cafeteria. I had no evidence but it was worth the shot. “You can astral travel, can’t you? You’ve done it before, when you first saw me in the cafeteria. You can travel in the present too. That’s why you took off.” “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you even know what that is?” His jaw clenched. I knew he was lying. “Out-of-body experience.” I followed behind him when he started walking away. “You have no idea of the consequences when you travel. Astral travel.” “Then let it be my consequence.” Eli whipped around. His face was just a breath away from mine. “You have no idea what you’re talking about.” “Then show me.” Eli pierced his eyes into mine. His heart drummed a mile a minute. “You want to feel pain, Lucia? You want to know what happens to people when they astral travel?” “I-I—” I didn’t know what to say. I certainly didn’t expect him to say the things he did. Eli extended his arm to me. “Take my hand.” “No.” “Take my hand, Lucia.” His tone was stern. I shook my head. “Last warning.” “Last warning for—ELI.” I screamed. My stomach dropped, along with my body. Eli’s arms embraced me as we plunged through multiple layers of clouds with my back facing down. Hair whipped my face and the force of gravity made me dizzy. “You didn’t heed my warning, Lucia,” Eli grumbled. “So you’re trying to kill me?” The normal reaction for someone in this situation would be to fight back, but my instincts told me I wasn’t in danger. “What are you doing?” The clouds got smaller as we plummeted faster by the second. I began to have second thoughts. Wanting to believe so badly I could get through to him, I’d let it possibly cost my life. He ignored my plea. Looking squarely in my eyes as air rushed against us, he said nonchalantly, “Get ready to die.” ![]()
