Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.
Excerpt 18
Bard very rarely found himself angry at their hosts. For the short time they had been on this world the humans had shown them nothing but kindness and curiosity. They had even been allowed a large amount of freedom. Granted the air of this world was miserably still and dead and the cold seeped deep into his form, but the caverns had been provided for them and occasionally the thin atmosphere would come alive with music and he could dance to the alien throbbing.
That thought made him shift in the cleansing pool and flicker pale yellow with distress. Miner felt his stress and extended a massive pseudo pod to gently rub up and over Bard’s smaller form. Bard deliberately lit up brightly in bold green and the scattered light reflected off the natural cavern roof. One of the larger stalactites caught the light and began to flow down from the ceiling. It formed into a massive drop and fell into the rolling sulfurous pool. Once in the orange fluid it changed from the tone of the surrounding rock to a dull mustard yellow.
Bard trilled out several inquiring notes and swam over to where Bludgeon floated. The mass of the older warrior easily dwarfed the younger but the half-caste showed no fear. Keeping his colors a cheerful pink he began to rub against his colony mate. Gentle notes of music began to radiate from the dilithium sulfide around them. The pure warrior class began to relax and ever so slowly his colors turned to a murky green. He pulled away from his smaller companion who trilled in annoyance.
“Easy there little brother,” Bludgeon laughed. “You are done now. I am done now.”
