Memories
Chapter five: Jarrod
I must have blacked out. Because when I came round again Balthozar, his cronies and more importantly Kate was gone.
I wanted to sob. How had it come to this? This was my fault I should have protected her properly I should have done so much more to protect her and in the end she had been taken. I chocked on another sob as I remembered just what happened the last time something like that had happened.
I felt so ashamed.
I'd failed Kate again. The last time this had happened she'd had to face the wrath of Ranuk and I'd wondered whether she would survive.
I stood up and looked around there was no one left in and I could hear the distant sound of sirens. Up on the mountain it took ages for an emergency call to be answered and it was at least a forty-minute drive to the nearest hospital.
I knew I had to leave. I knew I had time but Kate didn't have the time I had to get to her I would not doubt her again. She knew at least some of what had happened and I needed to help her.
I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her she'd been through so much already.
I felt someone run across the floor and snarled as Thomas Clay came into view. He surveyed the damage and then called. "Brace yourself." He swiped his hand through the air and the beam that I hadn't noticed that was trapping my legs flew across the room and smashed into the wall.
My eyes widened. "What?" "We don't have to explain." Thomas hauled me up. "We need to leave. I tracked Balthozar but I lost him I need your help."
"I'm not helping you do anything until you tell me everything." I snapped. "Are you willing to put Kate's life on the line." Thomas snapped back. I went to argue back but the words got caught in my throat. He was right. This was stupid.
"Come on." I said at last "we'll have to leave." "That's the smartest thing you've said since I found you." Thomas said dryly. "Where the hell did you learn to do that?" I demanded. "Dad taught me." Thomas said shrugging.
I was going to ask whom his dad was, but then I heard scuffling and said, "Come on!" Thomas didn't have to be told we bolted from the house taking the stairs two at a time and tore down the drive and into the forest.
I spun round and went to the edge of the forest making sure I was mostly hidden from view but close enough to see what was going on.
There was police cars swarming the house and I smiled when I saw the animal control teams. So my illusion had worked. Good. It had meant no one had gotten hurt. I was pleased about that. The last thing I needed where more people getting hurt because of me.
"Come on." I turned to Thomas. "Where are we going?" Thomas asked. "We're tracking Balthozar." I said motioning at the markings the dark magic had made all over the forest.
"I hadn't even told you he'd come this way how did you know?" Thomas said impressed. "Because I'm not tracking Balthozar I'm tracking Kate."
I picked her up her mask. "And she's been leaving us clues."
