Chapter 3

The Chase

"Shit." Triagon whispered and jumped up. Hope and I cowered in a corner. The cops had come and we were gonna be fucked. Hope began to cry into my arm.

"Triagon, get the girls out the back door. Head north until you are in barren land. Wait for me there. If I'm not there in an hour leave on Arika. Fly to New York and look up Love."

"Jayden, what are you going to do?" Hope ran over and clung to his shirt. fearfully.

"Hope, those cops are really demons here to take you girls, Hope darling, I need you to trust me,okay?"

Hope sniffed."Okay."

He hugged her tightly for a moment and nodded to Triagon. He took my hand and began to run down the door that just magically opened for us. We ran along corridor upon corridor,Triagon fiercly clutching my hand and me tightly holding on to Hope's. When we finally arrived at the end I was panting hard.

"Dammit, I forgot the well I'll just do this." He broke the lock with one fell swoop.

"Come on. We dont have that much time."

I nodded quickly and walked outside into the cold twilight air.

"We'll have to trek for about 4 miles. Can you girls make it?"

"Yea."

"Okay then."

We started moving.

We heard a big boom and then a whoosh of fire behind us. Hope and I jumped and screamed. Triagon clamped his hand over our mouths.

"Shh! He just blew up the house to escape!"

We continued on for about an hour before he held his hand for us to stop.

"Now we play a waiting game."

H sat down and started to chant in that wierd language that he used to make the this time he was going really fast.

I sat down beside and sighed.

"Why are you so upset?" He stopped and looked at me concerdedly.

"I dunno, all this is just being thrown at me," A few feet away Hope lay down and began to sleep, "I'm just really scared of whats going to happen. I miss my mom and..my dad. He just up and left us. I never really understand that last fight. His last words to my mom were ' We can't keep putting Destiny in danger! Your father will just find her again! But then again you don't give a damn do you? So long as your position in the kingdom dosen't decrease! I won't let you do this to her! Goriya!'.Then he looked at me and said,'I'm sorry will all make sense someday.' and walked out.I was 5 and the bastard did't take me with him! He didn't love me! He never did!" Tears of hurt and rage were rolling down my cheeks and I was gasping for had a look of frozen surprise on his face. Then he leaned over and hugged me.

"I 'm sorry. Listen, he was right. Do you understand? . I promise, you will find out somedoy and everything will be fine. Do you believe me?"

"Yes." I managed to sniffle out.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yea. I never really did this before."

"It feels good dosen't it?"

"Yea."

He hugged me tighter.

"Do you remeber anything about your past life?"

"Yes."

"Well then, you do realize-"

"This never happened beore?"

"Yea."

I snuggled closer into his grasp and sighed. My tears had dried and now I had a large headache.

"Destiny. Go to sleep."

"Why?"

"You'll need it."

My headache made his words all blurry.

"Please don't let me go."

"I won't. Just sleep."

And so I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. It was beautiful. Like a mandarin and floral combined. I be

gan to count sheep and before I knew it, my dreams over took me in his arms.

Triagon looked at the way Destiny was sleeping,cradling herself into his chest,just like a little girl would after coming home from an exausting day. She turned a little and murmured something unintelligable.

Ah, I see the feeling Myoa and I had but never revealed were passed on more stongly than before. I believe you are,how you say, falling hands over ankles for her. Triagon heard Azmov whisper in his mind followed by a chuckle.

Shut up! And its Head over heels old man.

Sorry!

Jayden came up the hill looking more exausted than the girls.

"Jayden, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I've thrown them off our trail for a while. I think we should rest."

Jayden went over by Hope and lay down beside her. Triagon did the same only he went and layed down Destiny a few meters away from the others. He heared her moan pitifully.

"Hush, it is only for a second."

They both stood up and formed a roof with thier hands.

"Sheltra enia Invisiores !"

A great tent formed up around them and as soon as it was formed completely, it dissapeared from sight.

Inside Triagons tent, there was a huge bunk bed set up. Destiny was fimly nestled on the top. Triagon climbed under his covers and sighed. Let all the chips fall where they may and life gets really fucked up sometimes. And on that thought he fell asleep.

The next Day

Destiny awoke to the sound of wings.

Not just the sound but the feel. She jumped up and looked around. A tent? Bunk bed? WTF!!! She jumped down and ran outside.

A humongo raven sat at the midlle of the field.

"HOLY SHPIT!!!!"

Jayden and Triagon saw her expression and laughed.

"That's our ride to New York!" Hope said excitedly.

Destiny gulped. Her and flying didn't exactly go together.

"O-On t-t-that?" She stuttered out.

"Yep!"

"Oh god."

Triagon laughed.

"i am NOT getting on that thing!"

"It is not a thing it's a she and her name is Sariya!" Triagon stoked the birds nose.

"All the same."

"Destiny,"

"No! I no fly! Kapeesh?"

Hope's eyes got really big and scared. She clamped her hand over her mouth and stared. I looked around. Big mistake.

About 30 people were running to us, thier expression wild.

"Destiny! Hope! Get on!" Jayden yelled out.

"B-B-B-But-"

"NOW!!"

Triagon swung me up on his back again and ran to the bird.

"GO NOW!"

The bird pushed off the ground and I thought I was going to be sick.I buried my head in Triagon's shoulders so I wouldn't see the ground and actually get sick.

"Shit!They're following us!"Jayden looked back with a pissed off expression.

"Evasive manuever 86!I direct and steer,you fight!"Triagon jumped up to the front and Jayden held hope and rapidly began chanting.

Firiaga!

Glacia!

Thundra!

Wateriaga!

Spelluas!

On and on he went until the demons stopped following. When he finally came back he was exausted. Blood was coming from a little cut on his chest and head.

"Get Lovelia on the phone now." He growled.

"Already did. She wants us to meet her at moonhigh. Feasible?"

"I guess."

It took us nearly 4 hours to reach New York. But now I look back and really wish we hadn't landed in that particular spot in time. Things had went from bad to worse...again.
