The ground shook under Kael's feet as the Void piece smashed into the center of downtown Portland. Glass exploded from every building window. Cars flew through the air like toys.
"Everyone out!" Kael yelled, shifting into his massive black wolf form. His paws hit the cracked street running as screams filled the air around him.
A school bus full of kids was sliding backward down the tilted road, heading straight for the growing black hole where the Void had landed.
Kael jumped, using all his supernatural strength. He caught the back of the bus with his teeth just as it was about to fall into the darkness. His claws scraped against the concrete as he pulled with everything he had.
The bus door opened and children poured out, crying and calling for their parents.
"This way!" Kael shifted back to human form, ignoring the pain in his shoulders. "Follow me!"
