The Secret of the Supers (The First Superhero Book 4) Read Online Free PDF

glowing white. I ran towards them, but once again slammed to the ground as someone grabbed my ankle. I turned and saw it was the Super I’d kicked into the room earlier, his eyes glowing a piercing white. He threw me into the corner and I slammed into Selena, who was just standing up. Our bodies collided and we fell back to the ground.
    I got up fast, but wasn’t fast enough. I stormed into the room Genna and the rest of the Supers had been in, but they were no longer there. All four of them were gone, leaving no clue as to where they were going.

    The Calm
    I didn’t bother picking my feet up as I shuffled through the dark forest, my glowing blue eyes lighting the way. I scanned the ground, exactly what I was looking for I wasn’t sure. Anything at all, I guess.
    After mine and Selena’s encounter with Genna and the other white-eyed Supers, I spent an hour or two trying to get some rest. That didn’t seem as if it was going to happen, so I decided to fly out to the woods I was in now. The woods were where I last saw Samantha.
    Just a few miles straight ahead sat the remains of the army base we’d commandeered before Raven took over. It was a base that Samantha had found, brought everything over from where we were standing, and convinced some of the troops there to help our cause. She’d done that all on her own while Selena and I were overseas, fighting our own battles. She was so strong and courageous, I couldn’t help but smile thinking about her. She could’ve just stayed at the store we’d been camping out in. After going through the destruction of Dallas, nobody would’ve blamed her. She and the guys could’ve used a week of rest. But that wasn’t good enough for her. She needed to make progress. The evil in the world wasn’t going to rest, and neither would she.
    I walked on through the forest, searching for any sign of her that was surely gone by now. I reached a tree that had a large growth on its side like a massive tumor, and sighed. It was the same tree I’d seen a million times by now. I wasn’t making any new ground. No new discoveries. I wasn’t any closer to finding her than I was the first nine-hundred ninety-nine thousand times.
    “Where’d you go, Samantha,” I said, looking down at the ground as if I’d find a map straight to her sitting on top of the dirt. The crickets chirped around me and the trees whispered as they blew through the wind. The smell of pine and dirt filled my nose. A wonderful smell that I loved, but didn’t care to appreciate at the moment.
    I sat down on the tumor-tree the best I could, although it was more of a lean than a proper sit. I sighed as I looked around, the green woods being tinted blue by the light from my eyes. I let my mind wander. I thought about my parents. It’d been so long since I actually talked to them. Face-to-face. Not through Samantha, but an actual conversation. I didn’t even know if they were safe. What if someone found out who they were? What if one of the other refugees told the STF just so they could get more food, or a bigger bed? Would they do something like that, or would they know better? Surely if someone knew whose parents they were, they’d know to leave them alone. Because if I ever found out that something happened to them and that there was someone responsible, I wasn’t going to be very happy with them to say the least.
    The sound of a twig cracking rang through the night like a blast from a shotgun. I sat up straight and looked around for the source of the sound. It was probably just an animal, but I wasn’t going to take any chances. Especially not after having to fight as many Supers as I had to that day. Of course with just my luck another one would show up, not letting me end the day without just one more confrontation.
    A blue light shone through the trees right at me. “Who’s there?” I asked.
    “It’s just me,” Selena said as she emerged from the trees and walked towards where I was resting.
    I
