Third person. Everyone turned silent as they stared at Claire who still looked like someone who just saw a ghost. Jason gulped down as fresh set of sweats formed on his forehead. He had a thousand questions to ask, but the major was why Kayla would go to a forest without telling anyone. Ethan’s mind traveled quite a distance as Claire words replayed back in his mind. He had spoken to Kayla a couple of days ago and even, shared a poem with her. However, he never caught a glimpse of the fact that she was making some plans to head over to the forest. “It was all my fault! I shouldn’t have told her about the forest…I should never have opened my lips to say all what I did”, James said as he dug into his head in frustration, blinking off the tears that threatened to fall out of his eye. The quad were blank and in a complete state of confusion. They exchanged glances with each other, trying so hard to fully understand what was currently transpiring between Claire and James.“I think it’s
JasonI rushed into the bedroom and grabbed a bag, throwing all my clothes into it and panting heavily. At first, hearing that Kayla was stuck in a forest somewhere away sounded like joke, but with each minute that passed, it became clear that it wasn’t anything close to a joke.“This is all your fault! I can’t believe that we put Kayla in such a situation!” Mason huffed as he walked into the room, throwing dead glares at me.No doubt, my brothers hated me right now. But then, I wasn’t the one to be blamed because I did all what I did because of how much I wanted to keep our secret safe.“We should just get ready to go with them. We don’t have time to waste”, I said to my brothers, ignoring the fact that they stared at me with a look of disdain on their faces. The next couple of minutes saw us packing our things into the bag and making our way out of the room.When we got to Claire’s apartment, we discovered that she was nowhere in sight. “She just left with James…a couple of minute
KaylaI opened my eyes calmly, shutting them immediately the bright sun made way into my eyes. This was the second day already and I had no idea of how far I would go before I get lost…I blinked off the tears that welled up in my eyes just as I tried to take off the memories of the party that invaded my soul. I couldn’t stop thinking of quad and how they excited they must be to see that I wasn’t in the picture anymore. A deep hiss came off my lips as I finally decided to think less of them and focus on my quest instead. I jerked back to my feet and observed a foot trail behind me. It looked as though someone was staring at me while I was asleep. My heart dropped as I swirled around, trying to be sure that I wasn’t at the verge of getting endangered by anything around. In the middle of doing that, a soft wind flew past me, causing a wave of goosebumps to attack my skin. My heart beat went on the rise but I was quick to recall a part of the story my father once told me. “Running i
Third person. “What are you saying?” Jason asked as he walked closer to Claire and James who were talking to the old man in the library. “You all shouldn’t be here?” Claire said as she turned to the boys who were walking over to her with a big frown on their faces. “Were you trying to leave without us?” Jason asked Claire who blew out hot air and gazed at him. She didn’t seem to have anything to say because that was what she had planned to do.She had thought that leaving without the boys was the best thing to do. At this, she left with James, hoping that she would be long gone before the quad realizes. “What exactly were you trying to do?” Ethan asked as he walked closer to them, staring at Claire and back at James.“We are only trying to collect the amplifier”, James responded and looked away since he couldn’t bear the dead glares that came from the boys. “Without us?” Mason yelled from behind as he walked over to James and grabbed him on his neck, ignoring his struggles to bre
Jason“We can die for Kayla!” I blurted out, causing everyone to freeze in shock. I never believed that I would have the ability to spew something of such nature right in front of everyone, but I couldn’t withhold the feeling to do so. “Don’t think of her being our mate. Remember that Claire reads mind”, Ethan sent me a mindlink and I nodded in affirmation. Claire took in a deep breath and turned to each of us, obviously wondering what must have come over us. It was clear that she never believed that we were willing to go such extent for Kayla because we didn’t show any form of affection to her. “You can die for Kayla. Of course you can!” James replied in a sarcastic manner that made me have the rush to tear him apart.Claire was silent for a while, but then, she finally spoke up. “This is not all about you wanting to die for her. It’s the fact that everyone of us could end up being dead if we are not careful. This decision is final and I won’t go against it. Your father would be
Ethan. Once we resolved how to go about being with the team that was heading over to help Kayla, the next thing we had to do was make use of the plan that involves getting into the truck. We stared at the truck that was parked some distance away from us. From what I could tell, they went to take a nap or rest before they start their journey much later in the evening.“If only we had powers like Kayla, we would have easily messed up with their minds and made them to allow us go with them”, I said to Jason who was also looking at the truck and thinking of a means to get into it. He let out a small scoff after which he laughed aloud. I joined in the laughter and in no time, we were clutching on our stomach and laughing aloud. That was the truth though. Kayla power was no doubt the best thing to happen to anyone. I couldn’t put a stop to the countless thing I would do with a power like hers if I ever had the opportunity. The first thing though would be to tell Bianca to go drown herse
Kayla.My heart was racing at this point. For another time, I recalled that James had said that the seer lived quite a distance away from the forest. “How do you know that I’m Kayla?” I asked the voice, still looking around since I had no idea of who it was.Whosoever it was still stayed in a wind form and the voice was the only one I heard. “I know everything about you, Kayla. I also know that your step brothers are your mates”, the voice said and started laughing aloud. Sweats broke out on my forehead at this point. I took in a sharp breath and held my chest, trying so hard to avoid being scared even if I was.“It might be the seer…if not, how would the person know my deepest secrets?” I asked myself as I tried to make a decision. “Can I see your face then?” I asked, still looking around each time I felt the whooshing sound of the wind. There was a deafening silence after which I heard the uproar of a laughter.“You can’t see me! I mean, you must follow me before I show you wha
It was now just Ethan and I on the quest to find Kayla. We were able to successfully make our way to the truck and luckily, we didn’t get caught. After what seemed like ages, we heard distant noises and then, it became clear that it came from James and Claire. My heart beat was on the rise just as I shut my eyes and tried to stop my breath from being loud. The car started and in no time, we were on our way to the forest. “Are we sure this is the right thing?” I whispered to Ethan who was obviously lost in thoughts. Ethan didn’t say a word. He just kept mute and nodded, but I needed no one to tell me that he was scared just like me. After driving for some minutes, the car came to a stop and we heard the sound of the front door opening. “We can’t come out now. She would send us back if she realizes that we came with them. We should just hold on and trail them right until we are inside the forest with them”, I said to Ethan who was at the verge of opening the trunk and coming out.
