Fractured Chapter 64
Chapter 64“Can you remember his name?” I ask, praying she stays lucid long enough to give us some answers.“Grey, his name was Grey, he said he would collect you on your 18th birthday. So I ran to a place I never thought he'd find us. Keep running Josie, run so he doesn't find you, his coming for your soul,” her hands begin to tremble and her eyes dart around wildly as she spirals back into insanity.“It's okay mum, we are safe here. He can't find us,” I try to calm her.“Mrs Banks, it's a pleasure to meet you, I’m Luke. I want to assure you that I will protect your daughter with my life,” Luke says and her eyes snap back into focus to asses him. “Is this your boyfriend, Josie Bean?” she asks.“Yes, Mum, he's one of them,” I give Luke a grateful smile. “I brought them to meet you before you go home,” “Oh gosh. How many do you have?” she asks me, her eyes wide and amused, “tell me all about them. What are they like? Do they treat you well?” “You’re really putting me on the spot here
Fractured Chapter 65
Chapter 65I close my eyes, waiting for the words that will take this agony from me.“No, Josie, not in the way you think. I hope that I can give you some comfort though. I think it would be beneficial for you to accompany us to the human realm. I know from experience that you'll probably replay the last memory you have with her whilst you grieve. I don't want this to be the memory you replay,” he explains.“Yes, I'd like that, thank you,” I nod.“Erm, are we all going?” Theo asks.“If that's what Josie wants then yes,” Mr Collins says. “I’d like you all to come if you're all okay with that,” “Of course, whatever you need,” Luke says. “I’m in,” Theo agrees but he sounds nervous. “Mace, you good to go?” he asks and I look at Mason. He gives a small nod. “Okay, but don’t we need glasses?” Axel asks.“I have enough, although I doubt we will need them,” Mr Collins retrieves his briefcase and a large duffel bag. “I hate to be rude, Sir, but do you have enough juice to get us all there?
Fractured Chapter 66
Chapter 66We leave the small beach house and I feel oddly at peace. My mum is going to be okay. I inhale deeply as the sea breeze brushes my face. Luke hands us all a pair of what look like reading glasses and I frown at them. “What are these for?” I ask. “They hide any flair of power we have. Humans tend to freak out when our eyes glow blue,” he smiles awkwardly. “I could have done with these years ago,” I sigh, wondering if my mum would have been less crazy if I'd had a pair of these back then. I put the glasses on and look up at the others, struggling to suppress a giggle at them all wearing glasses. I remember Luke wearing these the first time I had seen him, I'd thought he just wore them for reading but now I understand why he wore them. “You know these would be more believable if we didn't all have the same style? It's not often you see a whole group of people wearing the exact same glasses in this realm,” “Usually we don't travel here in large groups but you're right, they
Fractured Chapter 67
Chapter 67I take one last longing look at my mum, she laughs loudly at something Doctor Black says and happy tears fill my eyes. She's free and I feel it in my gut that she is going to be okay now. We walk as a group of 6 to the sea wall, it's not perfect but it's the most sheltered place we can find without heading into the village. Luke wraps his arms around me and perfectly times our teleport when the guys hold up the picnic blanket, pretending to shake it off as they shield us from any onlookers. Nausea grips me as soon as we arrive back in Greys realm. I close my eyes and hold onto Luke until my stomach settles. “Do you want to wait out here or sit in the car?” Luke asks, rubbing soothing circles on my back.“Let's wait in the car, I want to read the rest of these papers,” I breathe. Luke opens the door for me and I climb in. He informs the driver that we are waiting for the others to arrive and not to take us back to the academy yet. I hope no one noticed that two of our party
Fractured Chapter 68
Chapter 68I shift in my seat, my spine straightening to match Mr. Collins's rigid posture, the tension crackles between us like static electricity. I can sense that he’s on the verge of some clever retort that could tilt this battle of wills in his favour. His confident smirk suggests he has an ace up his sleeve, but he remains silent.“Careful, Sir. Her wolf is close to taking control, and we really don't want her breaking free right now, she bites,” Mason quips, his tone dripping with playful sarcasm as he rubs at the bite mark on his neck. I can't tell if his dig is aimed at me or Mr. Collins, but it has the desired effect. Mr Collins’s steely gaze falters, and he lets out a defeated sigh.“Fine. But you’ll have to come to my office and use my laptop,” he huffs, his voice laced with resignation.“Thank you,” I reply, a victorious smile spreading across my face as adrenaline pulses through me. Theo winks, clearly enjoying the show, but Axel and Luke give off a nervous energy, and t
Fractured Chapter 69
Chapter 69“Actually. Let's move this to my office, I'd rather not have this conversation in a filing cupboard,” Mr Collins’ voice rumbles and I avoid looking at him as Luke guides me out of the room with an arm around my shoulders. We get to the office door and Luke wraps his arms tighter around me for a brief moment, kissing the top of my head, before releasing me to my fate. I step into the room and the door clicks shut behind me. The air suddenly becomes thick with tension. I keep my eyes fixed on the floor, and I can feel the embarrassment blazing on my cheeks. Mr. Collins steps closer, his presence radiating a warmth that sends shivers down my spine. He gently lifts my chin, forcing me to meet his piercing gaze. My heart races wildly as I lock onto his intense stare and I struggle to swallow around the lump of emotions stuck in my throat. “There is nothing wrong with you,” he whispers, and my pulse quickens. My mind spins in confusion as I search his eyes. “I feel it too,” he a
Fractured Chapter 70
Chapter 70“We managed to get pizza, some pie, and a selection of fruit. That's all they had left,” Theo announces, jolting me back to the present. I blink, shaking off the remnants of sleep, and sit up slowly, orienting myself. The firm cushions of the couch in Mr. Collins’ office shift under my weight as I take in my surroundings. Mason is lounging on the opposite couch, his eyes glinting with amusement. Mr. Collins is at his desk, frowning intently at the screen of his laptop, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, lost in whatever task he's doing.Theo, Luke, and Axel, each carry a tray piled high with food, the smell hits my nose and my stomach rumbles in response as they place the trays down on the coffee table. My hand instinctively runs down the length of my thighs, reassuring me that I’m still in my leggings. Had I really just dozed off on the couch? The memories of my vivid dream flood back sending a thrill through me. My gaze flickers to Mason, who is watching me with a smir
Fractured Chapter 71
Chapter 71“Set it up,” Mr Collins agrees. “It’s my mum's birthday next weekend, she is having a party, we can get in easily then,” Mason sighs. “Perfect, we will be discrete so as not to draw attention or ruin her birthday,” Mr Collins assures. Mason shrugs like he doesn't care either way, I sense he probably holds some contempt towards his mother, she didn't save him. I want to go to him and comfort him but I know he'd not like that, not in front of everyone anyway. “Can I access the human internet now? There's some things I want to check about the disappearances,” I ask looking at Mr Collins and trying to shift the attention from Mason. “Eat more first, you've barely eaten,” he nods towards the food left on the tray. I grab another slice of pizza, rolling my eyes as I bite into it and walk around his side of the desk to use his laptop. He opens up a new internet search page and slides the laptop towards me. Shoving the last bite of pizza into my mouth I quickly log into my socia
