Chapter 1
"I still remember the first time that Eric taught me how to track in a forest," Pam said leaning against the open back of Amber's pickup truck. Amber chuckles but kept her gaze on the forest while Pam watches her from the corner of her eye.
Pam sighs, "A penny for your thoughts,"
"You have to be more specific and shouldn't you be with Eric?" Amber asked and Pam shrugged, "Eric will survive without me for few hours and I mean are you leaving in the day without telling anyone?" Amber closed her eyes for a moment as she asked, "What if that idea has cross my mind would you try to stop me?"
"No," Pam said in a flat tone.
Amber open her eyes and glanced at her with a curious look.
"Do share you reasoning because I doubt you would to the same,"
"Your right. Why should I care if a bunch of fairies get drained to create some kind of super soldier for some war." Pam straighten and moved to stand in front of Amber who raised her gaze to meet Pam's, "because you also don't care. Instead, you want to live and fight."
Amber glared at her who chuckles, leaning closer, "I felt it in the kiss," Amber pressed her lips together, "your desire to fight and prove yourself by living against all odds. It similar to mine how I wanted to die to live." Amber teared her gaze away from Pam's.
That can't be true… or is it? Amber wondered.
Pam grinned, "The curious thing is why did whatever that male vampire name was only felt your desire to live? And not that will to fight or better yet kill?" Amber turned back to Pam or she thought because instead of Pam standing in front of her Anubis stood. His black muzzle close to her face for her liking, she tried to move but found herself unable to.
"What do you want!" Amber bit out and glared at him who opened his mouth, Amber tried to move her head back and away from it.
"Your reaction amuses me and make me want-"
Amber's brows knit together trying to hear the last part but a pressure on a part of her body made it hard for her to focus. She opened her mouth to breath but she was unable to and her vision started to blurry from the lack of oxygen. However, she did managed to hear a sound of annoyance from Anubis before he completely disappeared.
"Let her go!" Amber opened her eyes slowly at the sound of Jessica's voice. The pressure on her throat lighten as Ford lessen his hold on her. She blinked a few times as she breathes slowly to relax her body as the figures of Ford on top of her with Jessica on his back became clear.
"Ford off," she said, groaning moving her limbs.
"You almost killed her!" Jessica yelled punching Ford on his back.
"Stop that and I didn't try to kill her," he said his words doing nothing to stop Jessica.
Amber sat up in the bed, "Jessica, please," Jessica stopped and got off Ford who grumbled a finally.
"He wasn't trying to kill me but waking me up,"
Jessica shook her head moving to sit on Amber's lap, "That's not a way to wake someone up," she argues.
"Your right it is not but it's a way to get the mind to return especially when the dream is not yours," Amber said.
Jessica frowns, "What do you mean?"
"Well was I laying down while sleeping?" Amber asked looking at Jessica who looked away when she said, "No, you were trashing around that Ford told me to move away as he pinned you down to avoid injury either way that was no reason for him to do that."
Amber caress Jessica's cheek, "I know but remember that I'm trained to kill so without meaning to I could have killed someone." Jessica nodded leaning into the touch.
"What was it?" Ford asked.
Amber shoulders slumped, "It started out with Pam talking to me only for her to change into Anubis…"
Ford draped an arm around Amber's shoulders, "Why Pam?" he asked.
"I don't know but one thing is for sure is that Anubis is not fond of Godric and I don't understand how it knew I kissed Pam."
"It might be a trick that he was using to mess with you," Ford said.
Jessica nodded and grabbed Amber's hand giving it a squeeze, "He could have used your memory to" Amber shook her head, "He's a god but not one that works with memory." Amber cut in.
Jessica glanced at Ford whose gaze was focus on Amber as if trying to figure something out. Amber sighs pulling her hand from Jessica who gets off her to allow her to stand. Jessica watches worriedly Amber walk around and getting ready to go somewhere but makes no movement to stop her.
"I'll be back later," Amber said.
"Should we stop her?" Jessica asked.
Ford shook his head, "She needs to be alone for now."
