DISCLAIMER - I don't own any of the Nightworld characters and I don't make
any money. Yes I know I should get out more. I do however own a sexy
vampire called Tar, so hands off!
REVIEWS ARE MUCH LOVED AND BEGGED FOR!!
CHAPTER FOUR
"WHAT!"
Ash looked at his cousin like he'd just suggested the sky was actually coloured green. He was sure the witches would something to say about the astral skies and goodness knows what else actually being green, but then again they didn't have a great sense of humour anyway.
"I'm going alone." He said with as much force as he could manage in his current condition.
"What if she's in trouble Ash. I mean you've made enough enemies over the centuries and you can't manage that kind of trouble by yourself. No matter how macho you think you are."
James stared Ash down and since Ash was still recovering from his unconscious lapse, he won easily.
"Fine." Ash said reluctantly. "Just don't get in the way."
Poppy seemed the happiest out of the three, committing a small bounce of joy and hugging James tight.
"We have a question, Ash."
He turned around from his position halfway out of the doorway and looked back at James and Poppy in mid embrace. It stung his eyes looking at them and he just hoped they kept out his way. He lifted an eyebrow in response.
"Where do we start?"
"Yes Ash, calm down." Rowan said down the phone. "I'm sure she's fine, just fallen over or something." She tried not to let the concern etch into her voice for fear of worrying Ash further. As if that were possible.
"But I don't know where she is, Rowan. She could be anywhere." His voice was beginning to sound hopeless.
"But I do, Ash. She's at the university of Las Vegas. She left last summer."
"Why didn't you call me, for God's sake?" Ash snapped.
"Because you didn't seem interested Ash. You walk out and don't call for months, and for a start we had no idea where you were." Ash didn't say anything for a moment, letting the guilt of Mary Lynette's situation etch a little deeper into his soul. If only he'd called her, let her know where he was. If only he'd done something more, anything .
"Ash.Ash are you still there?"
"I'm sorry, Rowan. Don't worry about me. I'll find her I tell you, and bring her back to us."
He related his newly acquired mobile number to Rowan, so that if they found out anything, they could contact him immediately. He said his goodbyes and hung up.
Ash turned to face James and Poppy.
"We're going to Vegas."
