Nick sighed as he started his jeep to begin the journey to the trailer with his sister trying to think of where to start with his story. Before he could really begin to think of where to start Lynn's voice broke through his thoughts.

"I'm sorry what was that?" he asked her.

"I asked where we were going," Lynn asked.

"To...Aunt Marie's...well, my trailer now...then we are going to hitch it up and move it somewhere else on the property there are a few people that know where it currently is and I don't want them to find us just yet," he said.

"When are you going to tell me why you were looking for me and why that sícea*kidnapped me?" she asked.

Nick sighed heavily then said, "As soon as I know where to start...it's a long story and honestly, I don't know what you've been told...if you've been told anything at all."

"About what?" she asked.

"Your family history," he said.

"From which side?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"My mother's side or my father's side?" she asked.

"Your mother's side," Nick answered.

"Oh, well very little...She left when I was three daidí* told me when I turned 16 that she had left to keep me safe and one day I would understand why...and when that day came I would most likely never see him again because it would be too dangerous for me to return home without mam* or someone like her...but I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that...and he also feared that I had inherited something from her so when I turned 11 I wasn't allowed out unless I was with him," Lynn said.

"Did he ever explain what you might have inherited from her?" Nick asked.

"No, only that if I had inherited her gift as he called it and his...that I could be very dangerous in the wrong hands, but no he never did explain anything to me, he did day that someone else who understood it better would explain it to me," Lynn said.

Nick sighed again and he let his shoulders drop and he said, "I see...We will get to that after we set up the trailer again and the rest of the camp I will show you...it's easier to show you then to just tell you about it."

After a few minutes of silence and Nick thinking over what she said he asked, "Your father has...a gift as well?"

"Yes..." Lynn said as she crossed her arms over her chest and moved her eyes moved to the passing scenery.

"What type of gift does he have?" Nick asked curiously.

"It's the same way really...seeing is believing," she said softly.

"Do you have his gift?" he asked.

Lynn sighed and then said, "Yes...at times I wish I did not."

Nick nodded in understanding as he turned down a dirt road.

"Where is Nick?" Hank asked as he came into the spice shop.

"He didn't tell you?" Monroe asked from behind the counter.

"No, he called the captain said that he was sick and wouldn't be in for a week. I went to check on him but he wasn't at home, and the trailer is missing," Hank said.

"He told me that he was moving the trailer and he was going to stay out there for a week, maybe longer he wants to catch up on reading and do some training," Monroe said trying to give him a hint on why he was suddenly out of contact.

After a few minutes he caught on and said, "Another one? Who is it this time? Another runaway?"

"He hopes not but it is not confirmed...wait he didn't tell you?" Monroe said.

"How is he going to confirm it if you're here? Tell me what?" Hank asked.

"He hasn't told you? What is he dense?" Monroe said as his face drained of color.

A second later the door flew open and a furious red head came into the shop and demanded, "Where is he?"

"We don't know, we are looking for him as well," Hank said.

"I know that you know where he is Monroe! I need to knowwhere he is," the red headed woman demanded.

"Juliette I honestly don't know where he is, he got a call and left...I assumed he was with Hank...that was about four hours ago," Monroe semi lied.

Juliette's eyes narrowed then she said, "I went to the trailer and it's not there anymore where did it go?"

"Hank, just told me it was gone, and that his calls were going to voicemail," Monroe said.

"If I find out that you are lying to me...you will not like the outcome," she said than disappeared out the door.

"One of them need to take care of her one way or another," Hank said after a few minutes.

"Understatement of the year," Monroe said.

"Now tell me what you meant before...what didn't he tell me?" Hank asked as he rounded on Monroe.

Nick found another small clearing a few miles away from where he had kept the trailer before and unhitched it and began to unload everything from the car and began to set up the campsite. He didn't expect Lynn to help him but surprisingly she did help. She had set up two of the tents before he had even put up half of the one that he had started to put up.

"You've done this before?" Nick asked a little shocked.

"Most of my life has been spent camping…never had a trailer though…most of my training had to be done in the forest," Lynn answered as Nick got the fire pit ready and Lynn placed a pile of wood close by for when they needed it.

Lynn watched as he stacked the wood to start a fire and was waiting for when he would back away and start looking for the matches that she had lifted from the shopping bag. Once he couldn't find them he looked at her and asked, "Have you seen the matches?"

"No, but we do not need them," she said as she looked at the wood then said clearly, "æledfýr."

Nick watched fascinated as he normal sapphire blue eyes flashed sliver for a moment and then less than a second later the logs caught on fire and he met his shocked gaze with her amused gaze.
