I just want to thank all the people who stayed with the story and reviewed or added an alert. It means so much to me.

Chapter 7- The Chase

I was about to comment back when Dar's phone rang. I looked at the number id and it said my name. "Dar might want his phone back," I said to Netha before answering.

"Hey Dar what's up?" I said as the microwave dinked.

"Ding Dong we have a winner," he said. I dropped the enchiladas on the floor with the phone.

"What?" asked Netha, who was staring at me with confusion.

I gulped before answering, my eyes starting to water. "They called."

Netha just stared at me for a few moments looking confused. "Who is they?" she asked stupidly. "I thought you said Dar called you?"

Then she had a look of enlightenment on her face. She had finally got it. She stood up, grabbed me and shoved me towards the stairs. "Hurry you don't know how much time you have," she said urgently.

I still didn't move. I was still in shock that I won. Netha seeing that I wasn't going to move dragged me up stairs and set me on my bed. "Grab the stuff you want to take with you and then drive to the airport," she said shaking me. I think she thought the more she shook me I would come out of my state of shock.

It had worked. I could move again, but the panic had set in now. Shoving her out of my way I skidded to my closet and grabbed my bag I had kept there in case they called. It had basic necessities and all of my money in the house. When I turned around to get my coat I noticed Netha had left the room. I hurried down stairs while putting on my coat as she reappeared with my car keys.

"Go, go, go!" she said opening the garage door as I rushed to the driver side of my pitiful vehicle. "I'll take care of everything here."

I looked at her with tears in my eyes. This was going all so fast, I felt like I couldn't say a proper good-bye. I didn't know when I would see her or my family again if I went into hiding. I know at that moment I was kind of emotional.

She shoved my keys in my hand and pushed me into the car. I finally got out of my emotionally state as I put my seat belt on. As I was about to say good-bye Netha interpreted.

"If this plan doesn't work, call me," she said in a rush her eyes bright. It looked like she was going to cry. At least I wasn't the only one emotionally about this. "Bye!" she said closing the door. I nodded at her and turned the key in the ignition.

I pulled out of my house feeling all sorts of emotions. Sadness, panicked, anxiety all the while hoping all of this would work out. As I drove over the speed limit to get to the air port I lost time. I was starting to have black outs because some times I didn't even realized I changed lanes or turned onto another street. My subconscious was taking over, my mind thinking on what will happen next instead of driving.

I finally pulled into the temporary parking at the airport, skipping the fees of long time parking. I rushed out of the car to the sliding doors leading into the purchase and bag check area.

The airport is not a big one by any means; it had around 7 gates. I just hoped that one of those flights would get me to where my family is.

I walked quickly to the line to buy tickets. There were 3 different groups in front of me. 'This is going to take forever!!' I thought looking at my watch. It was digital so I didn't have to think about what time it was. This was taking to long! I shifted from foot to foot with impatience. I was never one for waiting too long.

Finally after what seemed like forever, though according to my watch was 7 minutes (something must be wrong with it) I was up at the counter. The gal that was there looked like she was ready to go home. Her hair was a little messed up and she had a permanent glare on her face, even though she was smiling.

"How may I help you?" she questioned with a false voice. Urg I hate those kinds of people that talk like that.

"I need a flight that can take me to Idaho," I answered quickly. I was losing time. I just hoped Dar and Netha came up with something to slow them down. Now that I thought about it, I still have Dar's cell phone.

"Sorry we do not have a flight to Idaho at this time," she said in that annoying Barbie voice. You know the one I'm talking about.

"Well…Do you have a flight that transfers there?" I asked slowly this time, my temper coming out. She was wasting my time!

"Let me check," she said, hitting keys on the key board, looking at the computer screen. I waited there tapping my foot with impatience. Finally she looked up. "Oh yes we have a flight that goes to Salt lake, Utah, then transfers to Boise, Idaho. Is that good for you?" she questioned. Perfect.

"Yes that's fine," I said hurriedly. "I am kind of in a rush, so can you please tell me the price and give me a ticket, anyplace is fine." At her confused look I said, "Family emergency."

Her eyes went wide and hurried to tell me the price. I paid for it, gave them my luggage and went toward the security gates. 'It technically wasn't a lie', I told myself. I had a family I didn't want that wants me. They probably will go to any lengths to get me. I considered that a family emergency.

I put my bag up on the security belt moving thing, or whatever it was called and walked through the metal detector. Wouldn't you know it, it went off. I literally growled when the security guy waved at me. They did the whole bar thing and it went off at my hips. It ended up being my belt; I had forgotten to take it off. I took it off and put it on the moving belt. I stepped back through and thankfully it didn't go off.

I grabbed the rest of my stuff, put my belt on and went to find my gate. I looked at the ticket. It said that I was to leave in about… 25 minutes. I found my gate just as the plane was getting in. I waited in the waiting area until my seating was called. I ended up in the back of the plane but that was fine by me. As long as I got out of this city I was fine.

They called my seating area and I headed up to the man scanning the tickets. Again there seemed to be a hold up. 'Come on, come on', I chanted in my mind. Finally it was my turn and I gave him the ticket smiling at him with and fake smile. He nodded giving the ticket back. Yes! I hurried up the ramp. I passed some people looking strangely at me because I was practically running.

I saw the door to the plane and started to smile when my feet stopped. I looked down telling my feet to move, but they just wouldn't. The attendant at the door was giving me a funny look and I got some more as the couple I passed earlier passed me. I could just picture what I looked like. Me, moving my upper body while my lower body stayed put. Why weren't my legs working?

After that thought my legs turned me around and walked back down the ramp. NO!! I am walking in the wrong direction! I then had a feeling of what was going on. I heard a chuckle that confirmed it.

'You think you can get away can you?' Aloria questioned in my mind. I started to panic major when I started walking towards the exit of the airport. I had a brief thought though that I just wasted money on a trip that I am not going on before I started fighting for the use of my legs.

'Honey we are about at the airport so just calm down and we'll get you,' she said smugly. She probably had a smile on her face too.

'Get out of my MIND!' I yelled back at her. 'And how can you be in my mind?' She wasn't even close to me, not yet.

'I am now familiar with your mind,' she answered back. 'I could find it anywhere with in the continental United States'.

There was no way I could escape her if she was in my mind. I fought with her till I got control of my legs again. I ran towards the back entrance of the airport pulling out Dar's phone. I hurriedly called Netha.

One ring, two rings, three… come on Netha. "Hello? Stella?"

Yes! "Netha, plan didn't work! They found me!" I shouted scared like no other. I stood outside in the dark looking as few cars passed me by. I prayed none of them was the Serrano's.

"I know, we tried to stop them and when that didn't work we went to the airport," she said hurriedly. It was then I noticed people talking in the back ground. "Oh I see you, look to your left."

I then saw head lights coming towards me. I couldn't make out the faces in the car at all. The car pulled up and Netha jumped out of the passenger door of…. Cam's car? Cam, Adalina and Lalya waved at me, Cam in the driver's seat. Netha grabbed me and shoved me in the back of the car. Lalya and Adalina were in the back, with Adalina in the middle. She hugged my shaking form as Lalya patted me on the back.

"Hey," said Cam from the front. "Good to see you and all but what's the plan?" The car started to move.

"They were at the airport," I said hurriedly. "Or at least within five miles I think."

"How did they find you," asked Lalya.

"She was in my mind," I said. Lalya gave me a confused look. Oh yeah I don't think I had told her about the witch part. "Lalya the women is a witch." She mouthed an 'Oh' as I continued. "She made me walk off my plane." I paused. "Now that I think about it my luggage is still on that plane."

"Stella focus," commented Cam. "No random thoughts. By the way where am I supposed to go?"

I thought about it before I said, "Mall area." There were more people there. "Anyways she said she could fine my mind anywhere within the continental United States."

"That's not good," said Adalina. "How are we going to be able to hide you now?"

I then had a brilliant idea, or so I thought it was. "All of you; think like me," I stated calming down. They all gave me blank looks or in Netha's case one where she thought I was crazy. Then enlightenment hit.

"It's so she can't tell which one of us is the really you," Netha said in wonderment. I take that as a complement. She then looked at me with doubt, "Do you think it will work?"

I was about to answer when Cam interpreted, "Well do we have any other plans?" We shook our heads. "Then I say we go with it."

Lalya shook her head smiling. "You guys are crazy but I'll go with it." She looked at me. "So what are you thinking at the moment?"

"I got to get out of here in a really panicked voice and I am scared like no other," I summed up. All of them started laughing but Adalina bless her heart.

Cam pulled into a parking space around the mall. The mall was all lit up in the dark. A little further down the street were different clubs and shops.

"All right," she said. "Let's do this." We jumped out of the car. "We should all go in different directions," she continued. Her eyes then got wide. "I think they found us."

I turned around with the rest of us seeing one of the most expensive cars I have ever seen come towards us. It was moving fast.

"Run!!"

I didn't know who said it but we all split up in different directions. Netha went to the shops north of the mall, as Cam, Adalina and Lalya went for the mall. I myself went south to some of the shops and clubs.

The street lights were on and people walking on the sidewalks, talking or simple enjoying the company. Meanwhile I was running as if a bear was chasing after me. I looked back to see the car pulling into the spot next to Cam's car. I ran faster till it was out of sight. I then slowed down to a stop hoped that our plan worked.

I started window shopping just to pass the time. I then called my cell phone.

"Hello?" said a guy's voice at the other end.

"Dar? It's me," I didn't want to say my name. Just call me cautious.

"Stella did you make the plane?" questioned Dar anxiously.

"No they found me," I said getting panicked again. "Can you come pick me up I am south of the mall. The girls are making a distraction for me."

"Sure, let me get out the door," he said. I could hear keys in the back ground. "Give me ten minutes."

"Hurry!" I said before hanging up. I then felt something, like some one was watching me. I turned and saw a man standing by the light post, but he wasn't staring at me, just looking out in the street.

'Found you.'

Crap, crap! Aloria's voice in my head made me jump in the air. The man looked at my weirdly, like there was something wrong with me. 'You thought you could get away but you can't.' She had stopped talking but I could still feel her in my mind. Feeling her get closer to where I was. Dar was not going to make it in time.

Panicked, I rushed up to the man. He raised his eye brows at me almost afraid of what I was going to ask him what to do.

"Excuse me sir could you knock me unconscious?" I asked. He looked at me and took a step away. I know, I know you don't just ask somebody that. I figured if I was unconscious she couldn't find me.

I stepped closer. "Please sir it's really important!" I asked desperately.

"Lady I don't just knock people unconscious," he said sounding strangled. "I could get arrested for it."

I shook my head. I had no time. If he didn't want to help I had to take it into my own hands. I turned around and went towards the light post. I heard him say, "Wait!" before I bashed my head against the post hard. I felt pain for a second before I blacked out.
