The Glooming (Wrath of the Old Gods Book 1) (46 page)

Ilya said something to her in Russian, but she realized she couldn’t understand the language. Tara cursed out loud as she realized that they were no longer in the Otherworld and that meant that she wouldn’t be able to communicate with the boy.

“He said he doesn’t understand you,” the dog said.

Tara stopped walking as she drew back in surprise. “You still understand him though? Okay, ask him what we’re doing in this part of Russia, please.”

The dog and Ilya chatted in Russian for a minute before Coyote looked back at her. “He said that in order to find his mother, he needed to return to the orphanage so he could find out her last known address,” the dog said.

“Okay then,” Tara said as she saluted them playfully. “Lead on.”

Just as she said those words, Tara was instantly blinded as large searchlights were activated and were shown in their direction. Ilya cursed out in Russian as both of them were quickly set upon by over a dozen armed men wearing winter camouflage.

“What’s going on?” Tara screamed as she was grabbed by two men. She tried to fight them off and run but they were too strong. “No, get away from me!”

Ilya also tried to get away, but they quickly picked him up and began to carry him to a nearby vehicle. The boy yelled out in frustration when they started to bind and gag him.

The little dog immediately started running into the forest as two of the men leveled their assault rifles and began shooting at it.

“Bibsy!” Tara screamed once more as someone placed a damp cloth over her nose and mouth. A pungent, bleach-like chemical smell suffocated her lungs and all she could think about before she finally lost consciousness was her little brother Timmy.
