Ch. 4
Rhae did as she was told and stopped her jabbing motions. She turned to Rafe her eyes still glazed with blood red in color. Surprised by the color Rafe stepped back a pace. Rhae blinked once and her eyes turned to their normal color of green. Looking around, she realized what she has done and whispered, "I'm sorry before collapsing into Rafe's open arms; all her strength fading. Meanwhile Jim was trying to get Raina's attention, "Come on Raina answer me, please."
No answer.
"If you need to follow my voice," Jim begged, "Come on, baby, look at me."
Raina blinked and her eyes turned to their normal color and looked at Jim. She smiled and slipped into Jim's arms before she fell into unconsciousness.
Blair was having a tougher time with Ryley.
"Drop the glass, Ryley," Blair demanded calmly.
Instead of dropping the broken glass beer bottle, she turned to Blair. Blair held up his hands in surrender.
"Ryley, come on," Blair said calmly, "just put the glass down."
Rhae and Raina woke up and looked around. They spotted Ryley and both cursed under their breath in unison. They stood shakily to their feet gently pushing their guys away and went over to their sister. Rhae was the first to speak, "Ryley, baby snap out of it. Ryley Eve Ocean, look at me in the eyes!"
Hearing her sister's demanding voice through the thick fog of anger looked Rhae right in the eyes.
"Ryley, romca loni mora mora," Raina stated in a whisper in a language only the triplets knew, "Poni locora morey more."
Listening to her sister voice Ryley blinked and her eyes turned back to normal. She looked at the glass as if it burned her.
"Oh, man, I didn't hurt anyone, did I?" Ryley panicked looking around for a bloody body.
"No, Ryley," Blair assured pulling the distraught woman into an embrace.
Ryley berried her face in his chest then feeling an old threat she stiffened. Blair pulled away slightly and looked down into Ryley's eyes, "What's wrong?"
Ryley looked at her sisters to see if they registered the threatening presence. Rhae and Raina looked back at her sending a mental nod through their bond that indicated they felt it as well. Ryley looked back up at Blair through her eyelashes, "Take me back home, please. I'm not feeling well."
"Okay, lets go," Blair agreed.
He turned to tell the others that he was going to take Ryley home, but he saw that Jim and Rafe were getting ready to leave as well. Ryley walked over to her sisters.
"Be ready," Rhae cautioned, "we might have to fight our way out."
"We're going to have to run again, aren't we?" Raina whispered sadly.
"I'm afraid so, baby girl," Rhae whispered back.
Jim over hearing their conversation from the table where he was apologizing for leaving so soon to Simon, H, Joel, and Megan. He walked over to the women in confusion, "What do you mean by fighting and running?"
"Nothing, Jim," Rhae smiled tightly and the sisters walked out to the car leaving the guys to finish saying their goodbyes.
"Why can't we tell?" Raina asked, "He can help us!"
"No," Rhae disagreed, "he'll be in danger if we tell him."
"He's a sentinel," Raina argued in a harsh whisper, "he can handle it."
"I don't care what he is," Rhae whispered just as harsh, "we aren't telling him."
Ryley opened her mouth to get a word in to warn her sisters of the aproching threat, but could not.
"Ryley Ocean!" a heavy male voice called out.
Ryley looked toward the door.
