Chap. 17
Elisa wanted to know everything. She knew I had a crush on Brooklyn, so she was laughing at me for the whole asking him out thing, but then she got serious. She said that Dracon would stop at nothing now to find me and make me pay, and unless she caught him at something that she could drag him to jail for, I was screwed seven ways sideways. Well the night was ruined because of Dracon, and that dance with Brooklyn, well, I was just glad it was us and strangers there. The ride up to the tower was much to fast for my liking. I didn't think I could face him. I had to go and do something that would only bring pain, and at the time I had thought damn the consequences, but it looked as if they were catching up to me. I sighed and Elisa patted my shoulder lightly, sympathetically. Why did I have to like Brooklyn? Why couldn't I have liked Lexington or Broadway even? We got to the tower and then we got to thinking. "How are we gonna throw him off the trail now?" Lex asked worried and nervously. I hung my head. I didn't know…oh yes I did. We had a better source of hiding in plain sight, the thing was though, and I didn't want them to know. They had asked questions about my and my brother's marks that were on our arms, and I had evaded the question by saying something along the lines of "birthmark that everyone in the family got." That wasn't true. Only the ones who had received the ability that I or my brothers had, got it. "We could put them into protective custody…" Elisa put out unhappily. I looked up sharply. "No!" they looked at me grimly. I sighed and I felt defeated. "There's something else we could do…." I turned to Goliath. "Pick something alive and not human." He looked ruffled. "That is off the topic-!" I shook my head mutely. He sighed and thought for a while. "A gryphon." I nodded and I readied myself for what was to come.
