“Ryan, Liam finish him off and let’s get out of here we have plans to make” he says turning to walk away the others following him other that the two he spoke to. One a polar bear the other a leopard. “I’m sorry” I whisper as they close in on me looking up at the sky. In the distance I hear the faint sound of hooves clopping on the tarmac but I put it down as just some poor sod slowly dying because I wanted to look like a hero. The leopard growls as it leaps through the air baring its claws to sink them into my flesh. But that doesn’t happen. Rather than clattering into me it clatters into the same wall that had blocked the bullets earlier. With a roar the bear swings at the invisible barrier only to cry out in pain as the bones in his paw shatter. Hearing his cry in pain the departing group turn around to see what is going on to find only what they had seen a moment ago a boy frozen in fear resigned to death still standing. Their faces twist with confusion at how this monster of a beast managed to hurt itself to such an extent. “What’s the matter with you Ryan I thought I told you to kill him” Leon grumbles not caring about his injured follower
“We can’t get any closer to his Leon it’s like there is a wall around him” the one that must be Liam says changed back revealing a short stocky man “What do you mean you can’t get to him….wait” Leon says the wheels turning and the penny finally dropping “No it can’t be…you you’re the stag?” he laughs a smile on his face “So what are we going to do we can’t get to him?” Liam asks as Leon chuckles to himself “You can’t but I can” he laughs and starts walking towards me smiling certain he’s going to get to me. The hooves I heard earlier have grown louder and louder as they speak but they don’t seem to be paying them any attention. Coming to where the invisible wall is supposed to stand Leon reaches out a hand and it passes through then a leg and then all of him. Liam and Ryan try to step through but find their paths blocked “You really haven’t got a clue have you? If you did maybe those people wouldn’t have to die he jeers taking his time to get to me. Emerging to our side is a sight that sends a new wave of gut ranching fear down my body and shakes me to the core. Running towards us is a black horse and although there is probably more people with a similar zodiac. I know who this one is because sat on its back is one person that thankfully I thought had escaped the slaughter sat on the back the horse is Connor. Turning his attention to the pair Leon changes shape and sprint at amazing speed and there is no hope for the pair I tell myself. He pounces through the air towards them and at the top of my lungs I cry ”NOOOOOO” hoping with all my heart something might suddenly happen to stop him from getting to the pair. It doesn’t. He leaps into the side of Chris and starts to drag him down Connor flies of his dads back changing as he does landing on his feet he manages to somehow get to me the wall not standing in his way. Stopping at my side I clamber hastily onto his back. And turning his back on his fallen father we flee.
