Chapter 5
"Yeah, and then he said, 'you mark my words, I'll find out I will'," Serena concluded still just as baffled as she was when she started telling Vanessa and Jimena. Jimena shrugged, "I haven't had any visions lately, are you sure he said I was somewhere?"
"Positive," Serena nodded
"He was probably lying;" Vanessa said not looking up as she had been doing the whole time but Serena and Jimena we're in to much of a heated discussion to notice that she looked as guilty as could be. Because, the truth was, she knew exactly what Stanton was talking about. Her head thumped hard and her leg still ached from the fall.
"Well I guess I have to get going, I'll see you guys later," was what Vanessa had said and with that left the café where they were at only a day before. She had gone to talk to Kendra at her store only to find it a wreck & Kendra nowhere to be found. However, someone was there. In the back of the store where the surplus stock was, someone was rummaging. Throwing and tossing everything, looking for something in particular, although Vanessa had no idea what. Obviously the person hadn't noticed her arrival and continued to search frantically in Kendra's store. Vanessa had seen to many followers to present her presence, she turned behind a shelf of candles and peered around to see.
The figure continued to search getting more and more restless by the minute, when another appeared, a shadow.
"Where is it, Darmethius?" the new man asked in a demanding tone, it sounded so familiar…
"I-I it's around here somewhere," he spoke as if trying to convince himself more then the other
"You lost it?" he then grabbed the searching one by the shoulder and shoved him against the wall. Vanessa could see him cowering under his grip, but she could also see his face. He was pail with brunette dirty messy hair and deep dark eyes.
"I-I, the girl she-she-"
"A girl?" the man laughed richly, "A girl took it from you?" he suddenly grew angry and tossed the one named Darmethius to the side, "You disgust me. The order will hear about this" (By now, Vanessa had turned invisible and had floated her moleculed self over to get a better look). The man through him down and turned around and Vanessa became face-to- muleculeface with Collin.
Vanessa brought herself back to reality and shook away the remains of the memory just as Serena stood up to go home on account of Collin calling her cell flipping out. Vanessa smiled a good-bye as she walked away; Vanessa turned her attention to Jimena.
"So how are you and Collin?"
Jimena sighed, "I don't know, he just got me so mad when he got so mad to see me with Karyl, I don't know what his problem is"
Maybe he thinks Karyl will tell you his secret, Vanessa thought to herself but then silently kicked herself. She hadn't told Jimena or Serena yet because she believed Colin was innocent and they wouldn't think so. Or if he wasn't, she was going to take him down herself, this time without help. She would find out what the 'thing' was, she would find out what Collin had to do with it, she would find out why the inner circle didn't tell Stanton (she guessed they didn't since the way Serena described him trying to frantically find out), and she, weak little Vanessa, would do something on her own.
"It'll be okay," Vanessa smiled to Jimena and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "everything will be okay".
