~~~Chapter Two~~~
~~~Previous~~~
"How did you do that?" I ask Seth still highly curious.
He turned to face me, and his eyes widen in surprise. Did he expect me to freak out? Why would I do that when I'm not exactly a normal human. That weird look appears in his eyes once more. I still can't describe that certain look. He opened his mouth to answer but Teddy begins to wake up and lets out a wail. He must be hungry. I use my magic to make one of his bottles appear in my hand. I see out the corner of my eye Seth and Sara share a surprised look, but I ignore them and focus on feeding Teddy.
Jack walks back to the cab and turns to look at us. "How are you guys holding up?" He asks.
"We are fine," Sara answers for the three of us.
"I'm sorry I dragged you three into this," Jack apologizes.
"There's no need for you to apologize, Jack Bruno," Sara says. "You're not always the one to blame."
"But the urgency of our trip has not decreased," Seth adds as I feel his gaze on me which I try to ignore.
"Don't worry, I'll get you guys where you need to go," Jack tells them. "You've earned it."
~~~Present~~~
A while later, after the cab being filled with an awkward silence, Sara speaks up. "We are here, Jack Bruno."
"Here?" Jack asks as he stared out the window seeing nothing but desert. "There's nothing here." An old run-down house appeared. "Someone's expecting you two, right? It doesn't look like anyone's home."
"Don't worry, Jack Bruno," Sara says, smiling at the house. "We will soon be reunited with relatives."
"Okay," Jack announces as he drove right up to the house. "Seven hundred and twenty dollars and fifty cents. But after everything that went down today, how about I knock off twenty per cent and I also-." Jack started before Seth shoved a wad of money at him, and with a quick glance at me, both of them ran into the house. "Okay then," Jack says, looking after them. "Goodbye to you, too!"
He starts to flick through the wad of money. "Five hundred per cent tip? That's reasonable," He mutters. I frown softly before holding out my hand. He rubs his face with one hand while handing over the money with the other.
I open the door and get out. "Hey, you guys overpaid! By a lot!" I shout loudly. There is no answer.
I heard Jack get out behind me. As he closed the driver side door, he looks over the cab. It was a total wreck. "Unbelievable," He sighs.
All of a sudden, we hear glass shattering. We look at the house and without realising it my body has begun running over to it, Jack close behind. "Everything okay in there?" Jack asks hesitantly, slowly opening the front door. Glass crunched under feet and we quietly stepped inside. Looking around it was quick to see that it was trashed. There are things all over the floor- broken wood, glass, furniture. I shut the door quietly behind me as Jack grabs a broken table leg from the floor.
Jack and I share a look. "Hello?" Jack asks quietly, receiving no answer. I pick up Seth soul and head towards the couch, where I was pulled gently down by Seth as he held onto my wrist. Jack, having heard the movement swung the table leg at Seth.
It didn't even hit Seth. It went right through his shoulder, just like he went through the back of the cab earlier. How fascinating. I look to see Jack is surprised. "What just happened?" Jack asks, his voice wavering ever so slightly.
"You should not have jeopardized your lives by following us," Sara whispers.
My life has been in danger since I was 11, I think I'll be fine. Well was in danger, he isn't alive anymore. Killed him over two weeks ago. I see Sara tilt her head to the side but doesn't say anything.
"What kind of trouble are you two in?" I ask, keeping my voice low.
"I suggest you both return to your vehicle. Your services are no longer required," Seth says, but the tightening on his hand on my wrist says a very different thing.
"Seth, they're just trying to help," Sara whispers.
"We don't need his help," Seth states. I heard the 'his', even Jack heard it and look at the three of us curiously. "Somebody's already been here looking for it. We simply cannot trust any of them." He squeezed my wrist slightly. "Just us, Sara." For some reason, I had a feeling that I was included in the 'us.
Sara nods her head before looking back at Jack. "We appreciate your efforts to assists us, but my brother is right. We can involve you no further."
"Got it!" Seth exclaims, jumping up from his spot on the floor and dragging me along with him.
"Let's go," Sara says, following close behind us.
We stopped at a fridge. Seth put his handheld device on it, and it started to beep loudly. "What is that thing?" Jack asks but we ignore him. The device beeped again, and then the fridge slides to the side, revealing a passageway. Seth grabbed the device and we all walked inside. "Whoa, hey!" I heard Jack call out to us before he whispers to himself. "Don't go in the pimped-out fridge Jack," I chuckle softly as I heard him quickly follow after us.
We come to a bookcase. Seth did the same thing that he did to the fridge and another passageway opens up. He grabbed the device and we walk inside. The passageway leads to a beautiful forest.
"This way," Seth says, looking at the device and taking off with the three of us right behind him. We split up but I stayed with Seth. He walks up to a sphere that gave of weird energy that I haven't felt before. He waves his device over it which starts to beep non-stop. "Sara, it's here!" He yells and Sara and Jack run over to us.
Sara takes off her necklace, set in on the sphere which swelled and turned pink before she sticks her hand inside. After a second, she pulled her hand out and was clutching another handheld device.
"What is it?" Jack asks.
"It was what we came for, Jack Bruno," Sara whispers happily.
"Is anyone else looking for it? Say, the person who trashed everything upstairs?" Jack asks sounding worried.
"We think so," Seth admits. "It is very valuable. Which is why it was vital that we locate it first."
"Well, what makes you so sure that whoever else wanted it, isn't still looking for it?" Jack reasons. A look of realization overtakes Sara and Seth's faces just before we hear a door slam.
Everyone drops to a crouch, and I sense a signature coming this way. Jack waves us towards the exit. "Shh! Shh! Go. Go. Go." We slowly crawl away from the sphere into a patch of bushes and trees. Jack stays where he was, holding the table leg. We hear something.
"Run, run, RUN!" Jack yells, sending the three of us running in the opposite direction, hiding in another patch of bushes. Seth's hand found mine, but I didn't pull away but tighten my hold. We hear something like a shot and take off running again.
"Jack Bruno!" Sara shouts, stopping.
"Kids!" I heard Jack yell back.
Some sphere's burst into flames causing us to start running again. "Go! Go! Go!" Seth yells as we tried to shield ourselves from the flames. Something explodes nearby, sending all three of us to the floor though I landed on my arm, so Teddy didn't get hurt. I heard a crack and know that I have just broken my wrist. I'll fix my wrist later.
"Come on!" Seth yells, helping Sara to her feet. I get up on my own and followed them as we ran once again. After a bit, we stopped, turns around and started to look for Jack.
"Jack!" I scream, my voice cracking from the pain in my wrist.
Something pushes Sara, sending the device sailing through the air. "Seth!" She shouts. I turned to see that the intruder was a big hunk of silver metal, like a grey Power Ranger. Seth charges at the thing and it throws him back against a tree. I grab a rock off the floor, add some of my magic and chucked it at the Power Ranger wannabe. It went through his shoulder leaving a hole in its place.
I now had its attention. It was in front of me and lifted his arm to hit me, but I had already put up a barrier, so his arm just bounced off. As the thing was distracted Jack tackles it. Suddenly, the thing was flying through the air, hitting one of the spheres, which was on fire.
"Iris!" I look up to see Seth right next to me. He took my arm and pulled me to my feet, and we all started running to the exit. The forest was burning down as we sprinted into the passageway. I was the last one in, so I grabbed the door and pulled it closed.
Right as the door closed, I heard Seth shout my name, and felt something push me to the side. Something explodes on the other side of the door and I only just managed to place up a barrier, so I didn't get affected. I look around the see Seth on the floor. I kneel next to him, quickly finding a pulse.
"Seth!" Sara screams from behind me.
I pat his cheek gently to try and wake him up, but he didn't move.
"I've got him!" Jack shouts, picking him up in a fireman's hold as things started to explode around us, pushing Sara and me in front of him. "GO! GO! GO!" He yells at us as we push the fridge closed and run to the door. At this point, the fire had begun coming through the wooden floorboards. Jack kicked open the door and tosses me the keys. I run on ahead of them and unlocked the cab doors, throwing the doors open.
The sky has turned red and ash is falling to the ground, which began to shake and finally exploded. Sara yells and falls backwards as a blast of hot air erupted right in front of her. I run up to her, help her up and pushed her inside the car. I close her door and quickly run to the other side, sliding in the middle just as Jack places Seth in the seat next to me. I hand him his key's and put Seth's seatbelt on.
"Drive!" I scream. Jack hit the gas and we sped off just in time for the shack to explode. I let out a deep breath and rest my head on the back seat. I felt a sharp pain and look down at my wrist. Ahh, I forgot I had broken my wrist. I move my other hand and place it on my broken wrist and let out some of my magic, quickly fixing my wrist.
"How's your brother doing?" Jack asks. I look at Seth. He is looking much better but is still unconscious.
"His system has the ability to-" Sara trails off as Seth's eyes fluttered open and he sat up. "I will be fine," He says.
"I'm glad you're okay. Because you guys are going to need your strength when you explain to me JUST WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE!" Jack shouts.
