Chapter 8

"I can't believe you got us a jet." Pogue said stepping into the Macedon's jet. Jessica and Lilly exchanged looks.

"Yeah its pretty sweet, nice job Lil," Jessica said sitting down in her favorite seat. "So where're we starting? France? China? The beach?"

"I say France, its cold though so…"

"Shopping?"

"Actually, your mom is here to drop some stuff off,"

"She isn't? Oh my god she is. I'm going to kill her." Jessica said standing up as Lilly backed a little away from her.

"No need to do that." Mrs. Johnson said from the back row of seats.

"Thanks for joining us. I'm surprised it took you so long to get here." Jessica said eying her.

"Oh you know how the traffic near L.A. gets. Honey can I talk to you?"

"Sure mother," Jessica said. She walked to the back of the plane and closed the curtain to the main cabin. "What are you doing here?" she hissed.

"To tell you that you cant fall for him." Mrs. Johnson said as she took her daughter's hand.

"You were watching us weren't you?"

"Something happened?"

"No mom! No! I meant at the house." Jessica said yanking her hand away and putting it on her hip.

"Yes, I might have," Jessica clinched her jaw, "But, but it was to make sure things went to plan. When you called about the book I knew, I knew that you'd figured it out."

"Of course I would, I didn't read those books for nothing."

"Yes, but now that Chase has taken Jason,"

"I know mother, we can't jeopardize his safety, and you of all people should know that he's like my brother too."

"Yes I know that," she checked her watch. "I better go this is for the youth to do. If you need help you can always," Mrs. Johnson pointed to her eyes.

"I know mom, I love you." Jessica said giving her mother a kiss on the cheek and then a hug.

"Love you too darling and remember what I told you about falling, it just can't be, it's against the rules." Mrs. Johnson said before disappearing.

"All the better to do it." Jessica said under her breath as she went back to the main cabin. "Alright lets get this show on the road! Where are we going?"

"Pogue saw China, so we're going to China." Lilly said as she made her way to the pilot's room. They all sat down at the conference table.

"You think that if we get close that he'll come after us?" Reid asked.

"Don't think so, he's on the defense. We're coming after him." Caleb replied just as the plane took off down the runway.

"Where're we going to start?" asked Tyler.

"Maps," Lilly said as she tossed a big stack of maps and travel guides on the table. "Lots of maps." They all picked a map and turned to China.

"What are we looking for?" Pogue asked looking over his atlas. No one answered but that was an enough of an answer.

"I saw the Great Wall, we could start there." Jessica said as she turned to the description of the Great Wall of China, soon everything went black again.

Jessica's vision

"They're coming." Chase said in a deep voice. "My plan is working. They'll come after you and I'll have their power. Destroy their perfect little covenant."

"Why would you want to do that?" Jason asked, he was only about 13 and determined to be brave, deep down he knew that his sister Lilly would be here and save him in the mean time he would act like he likes Chase. Even though a week with him was enough for him.

"Revenge, power, you'll get some as well." Jason silently shook his head. He knew about the power and what responsibility it came with, he knew that if he had the power he would have gotten some of it on his birthday but he didn't and in a way he was glad. "They'll be here soon and then the games will began."

End of vision

"Great Wall! They're both at The Great Wall!" Jessica screamed as she lifted her head from the table.

"You sure?" Caleb asked.

"Totally sure, if anything happens to Jason it'll be my fault. He's there and he's scared." No one objected, Jessica yawned then rubbed her eyes.

"We should get some sleep, there's two twin beds in the back, Reid you should take one just because you'll need the most sleep to recover," Lilly said. Reid got up and left the room. Lilly looked at Jessica but she shook her head no.

"Mind if I take it?" Tyler asked, no one said anything so he got up and headed to where Reid disappeared. Caleb and Pogue picked some seats in the back and the girls went to the front. They looked at each other for a while no one said anything till Lilly was sure that Caleb and Pogue were asleep.

"So?" she asked in a whisper.

"So what?" Jessica asked sleepily.

"Oh come on, you and Tyler. You were looking really comfy on his shoulder earlier." She said nudging me.

"Lilly it's not like that." Jessica said but she could barely cover up the smile that was coming onto her face at the mention of his name and Lilly just stared at her. "I guess there is something but,"

"But what? You afraid of the rules? Jessica Johnson is never afraid of the rules. You two would look so cute together." Jessica didn't say anything. "You really like him don't you? You're afraid that he'll be like-"

"Lilly just drop it." Jessica said harshly as she turned to face away from her.

"Jess, please just go for it. Just because he turned out to be so,"

"Lilly I said drop it." Jessica said interrupting her.

"Fine, fine."

The cabin was quiet and Jessica was tired but she couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes she would see Chase and Jason, sometimes she would hear them say something other times it was like a silent movie. Finally she was able to close her eyes with out disturbance.
