Mark's jeep was coming down the road the explosion a few doors away from where he was caused him to slam the breaks, luckily no one was behind him. Parking he hopped out the jeep & rushed down the street. Even with all the years that passed he still recognized the old house.
"DESSIE!" He yelled over the roar of the fire. The black smoke floating in the air but still faintly smothering with it's fumes. Backing up he pulled out his phone calling for fire. Seems someone already called it in only a few minutes before him. The truck pulling up as a few of the men hopped off & started to put out the flames. Luckily the flames stayed with the car & did not spread to the house where a scared Desera was. She assured them she was fine, that she was in the back of the house when it happened away from the smoke. Once they were both cleared the emergency staff left. Mark walked in looking around it was like a step into the past. One he didn't know if he wanted to take. He then saw the older version of the woman he left behind.
"What happened?"
"Katherine."
"What?"
"She was here…she did this…Mark forget what I said. She must be stopped before she kills someone."
"How she is setting them without any notice."
Dessie looks down with a sigh. "She does it with her mind."
"WHAT!"
"Some how she starts them with her mind…you know like Charlie from that movie…Fire starter? Our daughter is one. There is a way to stop her though."
"I won't hurt her…"
"You won't have to if you get to her in time…Her power if connected to an imbalance of electrolytes. Correct the imbalance it will put it in control. That is if you can get her to do it. If not…then I don't know."
Mark nodded understanding. "I better go find her then before she hurts someone or herself." Dessie nodded as Mark rushed for the door part of her didn't want to let him go. But knew it was too late.
Kat was rushing down the road, part of her hopping the farther she drove the farther she could get away from her current life. Something was always messing things up. She kept riding till she reach a small out of the way dinner. Parking her bike she hopped off walking inside. Taking her helmet off she slipped into a corner table before picking up a menu. Looking it over she just ordered a soda & Fries. Cheap but hopefully filling. She had no clue anyone even knew she was gone yet alone trying to follow her. As she was eating she knew she had one task left to complete before she could even try to start over yet again. She already scared the woman she once called mother…the next step…the man that dare play with her heart.
"How long are we gonna carry this on for?" Asked Adam with his arm draped over Amy's shoulders
"Just a lil while longer Addy…I want to make sure he knows what he might lose out on if he don't start treating more like a serious girlfriend. I really appreciate you helping me with this."
"Yea Ames, no problem…I just wish I could tell Katherine."
"How serious are you two?"
"Not as much as I would like…I'm worried she thinks something is really up."
"Why?"
"Well…I never heard from her after her birthday."
"Well maybe the accident with your car spooked her?"
"Yea I guess, but I was hoping that maybe the gifts would of at least gotten a letter or something."
"What gifts?"
"Well…A nice casual outfit, you know something I thought would be up her ally. A necklace with a pendent engraved with how I really felt about her. Lastly I….Well…Um I bought her a teddy set I thought she would look good in…In all honesty I was hopping to see her in that night." Adam blushed faintly no believing he was telling another woman this stuff.
"Hey calm down…remember I'm just like one the guys…that's why I can' believe everyone is buying that we are really an Item. Tell ya what…you thing she can keep a secret?"
"Yea she is hardly around anyways to mess it up."
"Ok call & tell her to put your mind at ease. I just hope she believes you."
"I hope so too."
Adam pulls out his cell phone, once reaching the number he was looking for he dials & waits. "Hey Kat, It's Adam. You have my number call me back…we need to talk."
"Voice mail hmm?"
"Yea, hold on."
Pulling out a phone book he searches for another number before dialing again.
"Hello?…Is Katherine there?…It's Adam you know when she will back in?…Gone! Where?…Damn…Ok, well when she checks in let her know I called?…Why wouldn't she want to talk to me?…oh shit….oh sorry, that slipped. That's why I wanted to talk to her…how she find out? Did Mark say something to her?…DAMN she did…oh man…No No I wasn't calling to do that, I care for her too much, even if we haven't, Well you know…It's all a misunderstanding…it's a prank we were pulling on Matt, I had no clue she was even around…Thanks Sara." Hanging up the phone he sighs.
"What's wrong?"
"She took off. No one knows where. No one can find her around the ranch, so they have no clue what happened. On top of that seems Kat did see us a few times & think we did become an item."
"Sorry, I didn't mean for this to affect the two of you."
"I know…I just hope I can fix things with her before it is too late. I Don't know why…but I just can't see not having her around."
