Katarina Darkness engulfed me as I regained consciousness. My heart
raced, and I gasped for breath, the air thin and stale. Where was I?
Panic bubbled up as I groped around blindly, my fingers brushing against
cool metal. A pod of some kind?
The memory slammed into me – the alien abduction from Earth.
Impossible, yet the proof surrounded me in this cramped prison. I pounded
on the sides, screaming until my throat burned, but no one came. Tears
streamed down my face. This couldn’t be happening…
Suddenly, a tremendous force jolted the pod, throwing me against the
wall. An explosion boomed outside, followed by a rending screech of
tearing metal. Alarms blared and crimson emergency lights flashed. The
pod shuddered violently, then weightlessness took hold. My stomach
lurched into my throat as I realized we must be plummeting from the sky.
This is it, I thought wildly, squeezing my eyes shut. I’m going to die.
WHAM! The pod slammed into the ground, jarring every bone in my
body before rolling and tumbling. The force flung me about like a rag doll,
causing me to cry out. Finally, it came to rest with a creaking groan. Hissing
gas began filling the cabin. Frantically, I felt around for any kind of opening
mechanism. There! My fingers caught on a latch. I pulled with all my
strength.
The door burst open, and I spilled out onto damp soil, coughing and
sputtering. Dragging myself away from the noxious fumes, I collapsed onto
my back, sucking in deep lungfuls of crisp, clean air. A canopy of
unfamiliar stars glimmered overhead, no light pollution to obscure their
alien beauty. Where the hell was I?
I pushed up on wobbly arms to survey the surroundings. My pod had
carved a deep scar across a grassy field, bits of burning debris scattered in
its wake. Dark, dense forest loomed in the distance. No other pods in sight –
only mine had ejected? Worry gnawed at me as I thought of the other
abducted women. Had they survived the crash?
A guttural roar shattered the night, raising every hair on my neck.
Something big crashed through the underbrush, heading straight for me. I
scrambled to my feet, pulse thundering.
Another menacing growl warned me I wouldn’t outrun the creature.
Frantically, I searched for a weapon. A twisted shard of metal glinted
nearby. I snatched it up just as a massive form exploded from the trees.
My scream died in my throat. The beast was like nothing on Earth.
Towering over me on two muscular legs, it had the powerful, fur-covered
body of a lion, but where its head should be, the fierce face of an eagle
stared me down. Piercing amber eyes bored into mine as it spread enormous
feathered wings and lashed a serpentine tail tipped with wickedly sharp
spines.
A griffin, my stunned mind supplied, dredging up half-forgotten
mythology. But no myth ever mentioned the alien intelligence gleaming in
those predatory eyes, or the très-chic tool belt slung around its waist.
