Demon Rock Read Online Free PDF Page A

appeared to be the thin air, a figure appeared as if from nowhere. Was this figure like me? Did he have an ability? Did he have the power to become invisible? The figure took full form and held a knife to Holly’s neck. His position did not change, as if he had been there the entire time. He wore a mask, but I could see he had deep blue eyes and was about six foot tall. He was the guard I recognised in the prison. I know this without a single doubt in my mind, my eidetic memory and my gift allowed me to recall peoples build and features so much so that even with a mask on I recognised the son of a bitch. The now visible man looked at me, although the mask covered his face, I could tell he had a grin on his face.
    “ You should have went with my associates earlier. It could have been a lot simpler.” he said.
    Holly tried to speak but the man pressed the knife against her neck with more force causing a bit of blood to form on the edge of the blade.
    “ Don’t you hurt her!” I screamed out.
    “ You have been ordered to Demon Rock, you have refused.”
    “ You have no right to arrest me. I have done nothing wrong, I have a job, I pay my taxes, I don’t hurt anybody, I don’t even use my gift.”
    “ Well by these new laws, I have every right to arrest you, but seeing as you’re such a traditionalist I’ll arrest you based on the old laws. The law for humans.”
    “ What are you talking about?!” I yelled, almost at the top of my voice.
    “ For the murder of your wife.”
    “ No!” but before I could make a move the man had pressed the blade against Holly’s throat, cutting deep across Holly’s throat. Holly’s eyes met mine and a tear rolled down her cheek. It only lasted a second before her head fell back and opening her wound further. She was dead.
    As I leapt at the man, he disappeared. My fist finding nothing but the air. I was overcome with emotion and began to cry myself. A burst of pain shot through me as I felt a blow to the back of my head. The room started to go dark as I slipped into unconsciousness. That was the last memory I had before waking up that boat on my way to that God forsaken island!
     
     
     
     

The Plan
     
     
    After breakfast, we were herded outside to the exercise yard. The yard was quite big but not big enough to accommodate every inmate comfortably. The yard was covered by a dome like structure that I assume was designed to keep out natural ultra violet light. There were three bench presses and a couple of free weights from what I could see. Many of the inmates stuck to the outside perimeter of the dome, around the edge where the benches were. Noticeably gangs and groups formed, the vamps taking centre of the yard and occupying all three bench presses. How could they lift that much weight in a weakened state? It frightened me to think what they could do if uninhibited. Maybe they belonged here after all. I on the other hand, most definitely did not.   "Tell me more about the warden's right hand man." I said to Warlock. "We don't know his name, around here people call him Shadow. He has no love lost for our kind, that’s for sure." "Strange, seeing as he is one of us." This took Warlock by surprise, surprise which was quickly replaced by laughter. When he caught his breath he looked at me, noticing my unchanged expression. "You serious man? Shadow? The guy treats us worse than any of the other guards here. Why would he do that if he was one of us? Unless by us you mean he has an ability? And that ability is being a royal pain in the ass!" "Shadow can turn invisible; I've seen him do it. He was the one who came for me and took me to this place. He is also the man who killed my wife in the process."
    Even just saying the words fuelled me with rage, I looked around and spied Shadow now standing in the corner of the yard surveying the inmates. Some of the other guards were speaking to each other occasionally laughing, but not Shadow. Shadow seemed to not want to
