Chapter1
I had to be quick. I ran as fast as I could to Charlotte. She desperately needed me. I could feel it. Something obviously upset her and she was spiraling out of control. I saw her house on the hill with police surrounding it. No wonder she was getting upset. I tried to get in but, a constable stopped me.
"I'm sorry miss but, I can't let you in."
Bugger. I needed a way inside. I walked to the side and found an open window on the second floor. I pulled out two knives and used my upper body strength to scale the wall. I put the knives away and climbed through the window. I found myself in her brothers room. I heard knocking on her door. She would be so upset. I opened the door a little bit and closed it immediately. Oh my god. George Crabtree. I would never have expected to see him here even though he was a police officer. We had history but, I let it all go for both of our well beings. Charlotte started screaming and I rushed across the hall. A constable grabbed me.
"Let me through! I can help!"
He kept his grip on me. I tried to reach out but, all of their minds interfered.
"Murdoch, I can help."
He turned to me. He then looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"Let her."
Charlotte was still screaming. I was let go and went to her side.
"Char? Char?" I knew that Maddie was in control now. George tried to control her but, she broke free. Char went for me. They wanted to help but, I help up my hand. I carefully placed my hand over her face.
"Sleep."
She turned limp and fell. My strength was failing too. I leaned against the wall tired. I needed to get out of here but, my body disagreed. Char was taken away. I rarely used my 'power' because it used up so much of my energy. I closed my eyes for a second and my strength returned.
"Are you all right miss?"
I raced past George and jumped off the balcony. I raced out the front door and into the woods. I hid away in my hiding spot until I was needed again.
