I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS!!
Chapter One
Melissa focused, putting all her attention on the thoughts around her, trying to ignore the ones coming from Flyboy and Jessica. Midnight was always the easiest time for trying to find new midnighters, because those were the only active minds around.
"Nothing," Melissa finally said.
Jessica and Jonathan hung their heads. "We've been at this for nearly a month," Jonathan sighed, leaning against the immobile car.
"And we'll keep going at it," Jessica replied, taking his hand.
Melissa rolled her eyes. Get a room.
The dark moon set. The Blue Time ended. Melissa got into the car and curled up for another good night's sleep. Jonathan got into the front seat, sullen. Jessica was, of course, gone. Still trapped in the Blue Time like the many darklings that went into hiding after Halloween.
Then, she heard it.
'Are you sure you're okay, Rachel?'
"I'm fine. I won't pretend what happened yesterday with David didn't shake me up... but Ax and me both. But I'll get over it."
Who was up at this time of night? Melissa wondered. And that first voice. It had sounded so familiar... Could it be?
Melissa started the engine.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Jonathan asked.
"We're going for a little ride," Melissa muttered.
They stopped at a meadow. Melissa saw the red- tailed hawk flutter to a tree and rest there. Being a mindcaster, it only took a few seconds for her to understand.
"What are we doing?" Jonathan complained.
"See that hawk?" Melissa pointed out the red- tail. "His name is Tobias. He's my cousin."
