Ethan was sent flying backward the instant the spear hit his face. His body slammed hard into the ground and rolled before going limp. Blood sprayed across the cracked street. His left eye was gone, shattered under the brutal blow, red and black staining the side of his face as he lost his consciousness.
"ETHAN!" Samantha screamed.
She rushed forward without thinking, panic overtaking exhaustion. But Ryan was already moving again.
His spear snapped out with precise and merciless speed.
The shaft struck Samantha's hand. There was a sharp sickening crack. Her fingers bent at the wrong angle as the bones shattered instantly. Pain exploded up her arm and the force sent her flying to the side, her body tumbling several meters before she hit the ground hard and slid to a stop. Her bow clattered uselessly beside her.
Ryan didn't even look at her again. He turned and started walking with fast purposeful steps that carried him straight toward Victor and Nadine.
