Race to Witch Mountain: The Last Day of the Two Kingdoms
Teaser Quote: "Don't you remember what today is, Seth?"
Seth's POV
I was sitting inside a taxi cab with my sister Sara and a man named Jack Bruno. We were racing for our lives to get to Witch Mountain but I couldn't help but to let my thoughts wander away from the situation.
How did I manage to screw up so badly?
"It wasn't your fault." Sara tried to reassure me.
"It was and you know it. You have no idea about how much I hate myself right now." I grumbled in response.
"What's wrong now?" Jack Bruno asked, curious as to what we were talking about since there was nothing else to talk about.
"Nothing." I said.
"Is this about the spaceship? Because if it is, you shouldn't hit yourself so hard about it. You guys have Siphons and God-knows-what after you two."
"Yeah and someone I would rather not see again. If I do, I will be dead." I mumbled as I put my head between my knees.
"Dead? Why?" He asked, still probing.
"Seth, just tell him. I think that Jack Bruno deserves to know in advance about at least one thing that might try to kill him." Sara reasoned.
I sighed. Why did girls have to be so deceptively nice?
"Fine. Have you ever had a bad break up, Jack Bruno?"
"Sure. Everyone has. What does that have to do with people who might try to kill me?"
"I had a girlfriend and we were engaged…" I started but he cut me off.
"Engaged?" He asked, shocked. "What are you, fourteen? Why are you engaged?"
"First of all, I'm sixteen in your years, so is she and now that it's crossing my mind, her birthday is coming up soon and secondly it was a prearranged marriage. Anyway, it got broken off and she isn't exactly used to not getting what she wants."
"She's a moody bitch if you ask me." Sara snorted.
"Yes, she is moody but she's not a bitch. If you had been born with a few different genomes, you would be exactly like her. You think you would be able to control that?" I said sharply.
"You have a point. Should we wake up Dr. Friedman so we won't have to go over this again?" She said, backing down.
"Yes." I answered, reaching forward to awake the exhausted doctor.
"Wha? Yes?" She moaned sleepily.
"We need to tell you something." I stated simply, trying to hold off what I knew I had to tell her. There was something very off about this day but I couldn't place it…
