CHAPTER SIX - Dreams
Rowan woke in a cold sweat that morning, hyperventilating. Hearing her mental distress, her sister Jade wandered in from next-door, saw the look in her eyes, and called Kestrel. She sat holding her sister, trying to get her to calm down so she could tell her what was wrong.
"It was my dream."
Jade looked into Rowan's eyes and she stuttered out those words. Dreams were taken very seriously in a family of witches. Kestrel strolled in, unimpressed to be woken so early.
"Another bad dream, sister?" She said almost sarcastically.
"Mary Lynette. is coming here. with blood on her hands.she's coming here."
"But that's great isn't it? She's coming home!"
Rowan looked up at Jade. She was so young. So young and naïve.
"She's coming.to kill.us."
Jade looked crest fallen and even Kestrel looked more serious than ever before. Rowan's dreams had never been wrong. Colour was returning to Rowan's face as she calmed down slightly, but she was still white from the look in Mary Lynette's eyes from her dream.
"Phone. Ash." She stuttered out. "Send Mark away to.keep him safe."
"Do you really think she'd be able to kill us? I mean she's only human." Kestrel looked at Rowan, willing her to be wrong for the first time.
"Not anymore."
Ash had arrived in Las Vegas University (through the hire of Thierry's private plane) with James and Poppy only several hours ago to find Mary had been missing for almost two days already. He'd collapsed on a park bench outside and was trying desperately to think of somewhere that she might have gone. James and Poppy were talking in hushed whispers on the next bench about their concerns about Ash.
"Do you really think we'll find her?" Poppy looked up at James hopefully.
"Well, the odds are small, but I don't think Ash is ever going to stop looking until he finds her, so I guess the odds are slightly better for Ash. I know I wouldn't." James looked at Poppy, remembering the time Poppy had been taken from him. It had only been for little over a day, but every moment had been torture for every cell of his being. Just a single thought of what Ash must be going through after two whole days, kept him there beside his cousin. No matter how sarcastic or annoying he was.
A police car drove past at a slow pace, then seeing the dodgy looking people sat staring into space on the nearby benches, it pulled over. A rather dangerous looking plain clothed officer approached Ash.
"I was wondering if we might have your co-operation for a moment sir."
This would probably be intimidating to any normal human, but then again, Ash wasn't human.
"What do you want?" Ash said, bored already. The only thing that kept the cop alive was he couldn't think of a way to dispose of him in public view.
"We're looking for these two criminals."
He held up a black and white still from a security camera and Ash's heart left right from his chest into his mouth.
James
James looked up from his conversation and saw Ash staring at the photograph in the cop's hand. Ash seemed frozen to the spot and the longer he stayed that way, the more guilty he would seem to the cop. He got up from the chair.
"I think you should take this, in case you remember anything else." James said sternly to the cop, trying to initiate his voice into the cop's mind.
"I think you should take this, in case you remember anything else." The cop said obediently, handing over the photo and heading back to his car.
James caught a glimpse of the photo. It was quite obviously Mary Lynette there, even though her back was to the camera, but who the other vampire was he had no idea. It was also plain that they were in the midst of robbing the store.
Ash's phone rung and for a moment he couldn't remember where it was and searched each pocket carefully. He answered it hopefully, hoping his sisters knew something about her whereabouts. He was right.
"Ash. We need you to come home. Now."
"But what about Mary Lynn? I haven't found her yet."
"She's coming here. And Ash, Rowan dreamed this." Ash mentally nodded and started towards the car.
"Bring some friends. Rowan says she's coming here to kill us."
"That's ridiculous. Why would she do anything like that? She loves you guys."
"Rowan won't say anything more, she's too upset. Just come quickly, she thinks it's going to happen before nightfall."
"I'll be there, Jade. Don't worry."
"Ash."
"Yes, Jade."
"I'm scared."
"So am I Jade, so am I."
He put the phone down and looked behind him to reverse the car, finding James and Poppy already in the back seat.
"Where are we going now, Ash? Did your sisters tell you where she is?" Poppy said with anticipation.
"I'm going home." Ash looked back to the road and started breaking speed laws as soon as he reached the outskirts of town.
