Into the
Darkness
(Darkness
Falls #1)
by Kira Adams
Jan 1st -5th
It was supposed to be a way to end the devastation in the
Middle East, but instead a darkness has been unleashed unlike anything the
world has ever seen.
Ike Glass is well versed in chaos, but even he is unprepared for what the world
will become after the outbreak. Ace Cullen has been loyal to his country ever
since he was brought to the United States as a young boy, but it’s difficult to
stand by a country that can’t even take responsibility for their own actions.
Phoenix Blue just wants a night of mindless sex…is that too much to ask? Always
a black sheep, she shocks everyone as she finds the strength inside herself to
protect the ones she cares about and fight to see another day. They were
strangers when the virus took over, but tragedy will bring them together in
ways they never thought possible as they descend into the darkness.
EXCERPT
Phoenix
Seven minutes left.
They just keep coming. Some look worse than others. Their
decaying flesh and stench cannot be ignored, even if I tried.
I glance down at the pile of lifeless biters at my heels.
Come on Cullen! My mind is screaming.
It’s almost like they are multiplying; never-ending.
“Harlan! Behind you!” I shriek,
before a knife flies straight past his face and into the biter’s skull.
I turn to look at Cullen, who is in a stance like he has
just thrown it.
So he is skilled in throwing knives too? He is just full
of surprises…
As I am still mid-deep in thought, I feel a burning
sensation coming from my arm—similar to what it felt like when my brother sank
his teeth into me. Yet this is a much more intense pain and without being aware
of my actions, I hear myself scream out in pain.
“Phoenix!” I hear both Cullen and Harlan shout out in
unison.
I look down at the biter who is currently trying to gnaw
my arm off, and bring the butcher knife down onto her skull, cracking it in
two. I catch her eyes right before I end it all for her, they are feral looking
and bloodshot. She is only a teenager. Again, I will have to live with my
guilt.
I instantly feel relief as her teeth release from my arm.
Blood is gushing everywhere.
“What do we do?” Jerrica screams, while still attempting
to keep the biters at bay.
“She’s infected; we can’t take her with us.” I hear
Cullen say.
Asshole.
“We are not leaving her here to die—I’m not leaving her.”
Harlan comes to my rescue.
The loss of blood is making me woozy; nauseous. I am
stumbling from side to side. I want to tell them that I am immune according to
what Ike told me, but my words come out in heavy slurs.
“Get it going!” I hear Harlan bark, through tightly
closed eyes. I have never heard him so fierce.
“I just need to lie down for a second,” I say, again
through slurred speech, mostly to myself before the hard ground and I meet in
the roughest of ways. And then it all stops—it all goes black.
