We'd landed when Sanura came in to wake me. Despite the lengthy flight between countries, she still seemed agitated and nervous. Not knowing how I could make any difference, though, I kept quiet and let her gather my things for me as we all got ready to leave the plane.
In the main cabin, Josep was sitting in the same seat he'd been in when I'd passed out. His attention was on the window, but it was too dark outside for me to make out what had him frowning. I had a good idea, but didn't like it in the least. Lidia was squawking like a crazed grackle in her seat while Isaac tried to calm her, but she too seemed to know what was outside and refused to leave.
"You can't!" she cried slapping away Isaac's hand when he tried to gently lift her from her seat. "You promised, Isaac. You promised you wouldn't let them hurt me!"
"No one's going to hurt you, bit." He grunted when she kicked out and hit him in the gut. "But you have to calm down."
"I don't want to go with him, Isaac please. Don't let him take me."
"No one's gunna hurt you, you crazy little shit, unless you keep carrying on like this." Sanura scowled at the psychic and gathered up her bags. I moved to follow but Lidia suddenly shrieked and lobbed her water glass at me. Josep appeared at my side in time to smack it away and drag me back with a hiss. The girl shrank back, but kept her narrowed hateful eyes on me.
"You're fault." She seethed as Isaac dragged her up out of her seat, finally losing his patience. "All of it is your fault."
"Really?" I shot back, moving to attack her, but Josep held me back. "And why is that?"
Lidia shook her head, hands going up to cover her ears and rocking back and forth, "Because." Was her only answer, to which Isaac hissed and grabbed her upper arm, wrenching it away from her face.
"We don't have time for this, bit. Why are you-"
"Because." She repeated, then again and again, growing in volume. "Because because because Because BECAUSE!" Then she fell against him, head resting on his chest with a weary smile. Her voice was ragged and soft as she sang the rest to the tune of We're Off to See the Wizard. "because of the wonderful things she does…"
"Of course!" I cried with an angry laugh, "It's my fault because of the Wizard of Oz. Everything's so clear now."
"Stop it." Isaac snapped, shooting me a scathing glare before turning back to Lidia. She was quieter now, and clung to him as if her life depended on it.
"You stop it." I shot back. "I for one am tired of the vague bullshit visions." I jolted forward, still restrained by Josep, "Either stop with the riddles or shut the fuck up."
"Mira, that's not helping." Sanura sighed, then went quiet at my glare. She had no room to talk and we all knew it. Josep pulled me back again, brushing the hair from my face in an attempt to calm me.
"She doesn't know what she's talking about half the time, sweetheart, it isn't her fault Isaac left her in a hole for most her life."
The vampire in question laughed caustically but didn't get the chance to retort before I was raving again. Waking up to her screaming had put me on edge and the idea that once we left this plane Josep would be taken wasn't helping in the least.
"Then what the hell good is a psychic?" I demanded. I thought back to the night I'd met her, the night I'd met Cern. "She knew about my soul. We thought she was talking about Isaac turning me, but it was Cern. She called him the Sun, said he'd steal the light from me. Maybe if she didn't speak like a children's rhyme I'd still have my fucking soul." I glared at the girl, furious for no good reason other than grief. "Am I still hollow and cold, Lidia? Were you right?"
To my surprise she shook her head, "Not hollow now. He fixed that." She smiled faintly and stood straight, "he filled you back up with his light."
"Enough." Isaac snapped, shaking her. "We're going, and you're going to behave or I'll bloody thump you."
Lidia nodded, and was hauled to the cabin door. My heart began to hammer when it opened and I heard the sound of engines. Josep felt me tense and his fingers laced with mine, squeezing gently. I grabbed my bag watching Isaac and the others move out onto the stairway and disappear into the dark.
"I'll be fine, Mira. Don't torture yourself." Josep murmured as we moved onto the stairs and headed for the black asphalt of the runway.
"Don't lie to me." I replied.
There were three cars waiting for us at the bottom and I just knew the black-suited people standing around them were vampires. The closest car was off and when Josep and I had made it to the others, its door opened. My eyes widened at the man who stepped out onto the runway and my grip on Josep's hand tightened even more. I knew that man.
Or at least, I thought I had.
"Ryan?" I couldn't help myself; the surprise just pushed the word out of my mouth.
The shadow seemed just as thrown by my presence, but tried to cover it with a charming smile. The effect was hampered however by the fact that he was here to escort Josep to his execution.
"Wow, Mira. How have you been?" he glanced at my hand, still laced with Josep's, then at the irritated Isaac. "Did you have fun in England?"
"Why are you here?" I demanded.
He cleared his throat, "I assumed you'd been told."
"No," I snapped, "Why are you here, personally?"
Isaac sighed heavily, glaring at the stiff vampire that had moved to take Lidia. She seemed reluctant to fight him, which surprised me, "He works for Colette, Mira." He said, tone suggesting he thought me an idiot. "Has from the start. He followed us to that club the first night, and when I made it clear I didn't trust him, he moved on to Sanura."
"You make it sound so dirty." Ryan smiled, running his fingers through his hair. "I'm just doing as I'm told. Like you, Isaac. Let's not make this personal."
"Too late for that." Sanura snapped, eyeing him like something she wanted to eat. I think Ryan knew it too, because his smile tightened and he shot her nervous glance.
"Why don't we just get this over with then?" he said, moving toward Josep and I. I drew back against the vampire, clinging to his hand and grabbing his sleeve. The shadow saw this and chuckled.
"Colette has a little business she needs taking care of, so if you wouldn't mind coming with us Mr. Prahlow they could get on their way."
"We don't even have the girl yet." Isaac snapped, but Ryan only smiled that infuriatingly friendly way and shook his head.
"That is not important. You must first make the arrangements with the pack leader, before the beasts blame us for her disappearance. The package will be delivered to you by tomorrow night." He shrugged, "If they are not willing to make a deal, then we will simply kill her, and the entire transaction becomes moot."
"What is he talking about?" I asked, but Josep shook his head, motioning that I should be quiet. It killed me to ignore my curiosity, but I obeyed, trusting Josep above the others. Had Isaac shushed me at the moment, I would have told him to go fuck himself. I felt like doing so anyway, just because.
"Are they expecting us?" Isaac asked, watching Lidia as she was shut in one of the cars and the engine rumbled as if it were an animal and had just swallowed her whole. "Or is this another job from which she doesn't expect me to live?"
Ryan laughed, "She wouldn't have sent you to the forest if she didn't think you'd survive. In fact, she expected your human to serve as a distraction. The Fae are more likely to attack a pretty thing like her than a dead man." He offered me a short, disinterested glance, having dropped the pretence of friendship between us. "But I see she's doing fine. Still doesn't pick her friends any better though."
"Fuck you, you little lackey. I'll have you know I've met a G-"
"Mira," Isaac interrupted, giving me a meaningful look, "Enough. Why don't you and Sanura go get in the car?" He looked back at Ryan, "I assume one of these is for our use?"
The shadow nodded, but his attention had shifted to me, and the interest was clear. "What did you meet in the forest?"
I narrowed my eyes at him, "Some fuzzy rabbits and a deer."
He chuckled, but it was obvious he knew I was lying. Thankfully he didn't push the subject. A large vampire, who'd been on a cell phone through the entire exchange, strode up to Ryan and handed over the phone with a scowl.
"We need to go." He said shortly, then gave Josep a pointed look. The vampire sighed beside me and turned to extract himself from my tight hold. When I tried to protest, he gave me a disarmingly charming smile and cupped my face in his hands.
"Hush, darling, they won't do anything to me while we're waiting for you. Don't worry."
I shook my head, looking down at my feet. "You're lying again."
Josep didn't bother denying it; he simply smiled, lifting my face to kiss my cheek. "Won't you give me a sweet goodbye?"
That was it, tears pricked the backs of my eyes and I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly. The vampire chuckled, and Ryan rolled his eyes, checking his watch pointedly. Sanura pushed passed him, knocking the bastard into the big vampire and wrapped her arms around Josep and me.
After what was not nearly enough time, Isaac cleared his throat. Despite my anger at him, I knew it wasn't to be rude. He understood our need to comfort ourselves, just as I understood that his pride wouldn't allow him to do the same.
Ryan, however didn't care. He nodded toward the big vampire at his right, glaring holes into Sanura's back and we were surrounded. Sanura noticed them first, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me into her arms, whispering that it would all be alright. Josep offered one last smile before he was grabbed from both sides and walked to the second car. I tried to pull away from Sanura, but she shook her head and gently pulled me toward the last car. Isaac stood beside the driver's door as Sanura pulled me into the back, stoking my hair and letting me cry quietly into her shoulder.
"I know, kitten." She murmured, blinking away a red tinted tear of her own.
Isaac slid into the driver's seat, his knuckles white on the steering wheel and watched Ryan and the others file into the cars. The shadow was smiling again, looking smug, and when our car rumbled to life, he gave a mocking wave.
"Run him over." I mumbled, wiping my eyes, but he was already getting into the car.
It was over. Josep was gone.
The following drive, took little under an hour. We stopped at a gas station to refuel and Sanura bought some snacks for me since I hadn't eaten since getting on the plane. The rest of the drive was silent save the music Isaac blasted to distract himself, but no one was complaining.
We arrived at a motel just inside the Texas border shortly after and Isaac disappeared inside to get us a room. It was a change from the normal finery I'd come to expect from Isaac, but again I didn't complain. I was too upset to say much of anything. In my mind, I played out gruesome scenes in which Josep was tortured. It didn't matter how badly I tried to block them out.
Our room was average. Two beds and a small bathroom. The staff hadn't even bothered to supply us with fresh towels and I had a sneaking suspicion the bed sheets were just as used. When I mentioned this, Sanura smiled and disappeared, promising to return with some, still trying to comfort me any way she could. This left me alone with Isaac, but at the moment, I didn't really care.
"They're going to hurt him, aren't they?" I asked once the silence had grown too heavy.
Isaac, apparently too upset to remember our fight either, nodded. "Yes."
"And there was nothing we could have done?"
"Not unless you really wanted to die tonight." He replied.
I sat on the bed closest to the bathroom and hugged my knees to my chest. "What about Lidia?"
"Do you really care?" he asked harshly, but my look made him pause. Sighing, he turned to his bag and began digging through it. "I don't know what they'll do with her. I suspect Colette is only curious, she's never had her own seer before."
I nodded, resting my chin on my knees and watched him. Since leaving the runway, he'd been tense and that wasn't going away. I didn't want to fight with him anymore, hadn't really wanted it in the first place. My anger was getting the best of me more often these days, and part of me wondered if this was due to my soul. Tonight, however, I knew we all needed comfort, even if Isaac was too proud to admit it.
He was ignoring me now, so he didn't notice when I slipped off the bed and sank down behind him. I wrapped my arms around him, resting my head against his shoulder and feeling him stiffen under me.
"I'm so sorry Isaac." I said, voice hitching as more tears threatened to overtake me. The vampire didn't relax, but stood, pulling from my grasp. He refused to look at me now and instead fiddled with his phone.
"It had nothing to do with you." He replied stiffly, "This would have happened regardless."
"And I'm sorry." I replied, following him to grab his wrist and turn him to look at me. His eyes were black when I did, but it didn't frighten me. I told myself it was for Josep, for losing one of the few actual friends he had. "I know I wasn't close to him, and I can't possibly miss him more than you or Sanura, but I am sorry. It was cruel for Colette to make you do this."
Isaac stared at me a long moment, his expression guarded, then he pulled from my grasp to move to the door.
"Tell Sanura I went to meet with them and that I want the both of you to stay here until I'm back."
He didn't give me a chance to respond before he'd disappeared out the door and left me alone in the room. Not that I would have known what to say anyway. The fact that I wanted to comfort him at all was what surprised me. I still felt the sting of his rejection, and the longer it lasted, the more I realized that it bothered me. When had I started wanting him again? Or was it simply the notion that he didn't want me? The idea that the vampire would leave me had never really crossed my mind before and now, knowing that Josep's trial was edging closer, I liked it less and less.
Sanura returned with towels half an hour later, the life-like flush under her mocha skin evidence that she'd fed. I excused myself to shower, for no other reason than to distract myself and took my time. When I'd finished and hour had passed and Sanura was gazing blankly at some reality show. She snapped back to reality once she noticed me and put on a smile for my benefit, motioning for me to join her on the bed.
"So what do we do now?" I asked after we'd watched a few of the idiotic episodes in silence.
She glanced at the window, then checked her phone, frowning when she found no messages.
"How long will he be gone?" I asked.
"I have no idea." She responded distractedly.
"Is he in any danger?"
She glanced at me, then back at her phone and huffed, standing suddenly. "Maybe, I don't know."
"Then why did he go alone?"
"I don't know, Mira."
"Do you want to go after him?" I pushed, "just in case?"
She sighed, beginning to pace. "I can't leave you here alone."
"I'm not going to run or anything."
At that she laughed, shaking her head, but the humor fled almost instantly after and I was sad to see it go.
"I trust you, kitten, but Isaac would be furious if I left you unprotected."
"Then take me with you." I stood, wringing my hands. I couldn't sit here anymore. I needed to do something, anything. Strangely, the promise of danger was comforting. If I was thinking about keeping myself safe, I couldn't think about Josep being tortured anymore.
She however, shot it down with a quick shake of the head. "Isaac told us to wait here."
"And you always listen to Isaac?" She arched a brow, knowing that I was just pushing, but I couldn't stop myself. "What if he gets hurt? Are we really going to sit here while we lose another friend?"
It was low, and I saw the pain flash across her expression the same time regret tightened my chest. After a moment however, Sanura cursed under her breath.
"You wouldn't go if you knew where he was." She tried, but it was obvious she'd already consented. I shrugged and grabbed my sweater.
"It's not more fairies is it?" she shook her head, "Then don't tell me, and let's stop wasting time."
Isaac hadn't taken the car, so thankfully I wouldn't have to ride on Sanura's back to get to wherever we were headed. We drove along a back road as she consulted a digital map on her phone. It didn't take long however for her to pull us off the road and into the trees parking the car just out of sight.
"We'll walk from here." She said and this all began to feel frighteningly familiar.
"And you're sure about the Fae?"
She nodded distracted, "We're just going to check on him. If he's ok, we leave and he never has to find out, if not…" she trailed off and I arched a brow.
"If not?"
Sanura sighed, "We hope like hell there aren't too many of them."
I almost asked what, but figured, for the sake of my nerves, I didn't want to know and we continued on. It was almost 2 am now and the moon was a giant waxing crescent above us. It was bright enough to afford some light, but I still had to rely on Sanura so as not to trip over myself. I was still clumsy, and I don't think, at this point, that would ever change.
For being so dangerous, the forest was quiet, save the occasional call of nocturnal wildlife and the snapping of trigs beneath my feet. I did however notice that the farther we went, the tenser Sanura became until even the animals had her attention. That didn't bode well, but I forced myself to dismiss it. There was still the chance that Isaac was fine and that we would do this without incident.
That is what kept me going.
Somewhere far off in the woods I heard the call of a wolf and laughed at myself for jumping. Sanura on the other hand went still and stared off into the direction it had come from. Idly I wondered how far she could see with a vampire's eyes, knowing that her other senses were so heightened. What must it be like? Not that I had any desire to become a vampire. Sucking the blood out of people every time I got hungry just didn't sound like a fun way to live. It didn't do it for me. Suddenly Sanura turned to me, glancing up at the thick branches of the tree above us and offered me a far too cheery smile.
"I need to go alone from here," she held up a hand when I began to protest, speaking softly, "Just to see what's ahead, I think we're getting close. I'll be back once I sweep the area."
"And what do I do until then?" I asked, nervous despite my inner mantra of It's All Going to be Fine.
The vampire smiled and slipped her arm around my waist, and then the world rocketed upward. When my head stopped spinning, I was up in the tree, close enough to the ground that I could climb down myself, but hidden in the leaves. Sanura patted my head making sure that I was situated and glanced back off into the distance.
"Now try to stay quiet, I'll be back quickly." She moved to jump down but paused, glancing back at me, "and please, Mira, try not to fall." I nodded, frowning and watched the vampire jump to the ground, disappearing before the grass at her feet was disturbed.
And then there was silence.
I leaned back against the trunk of the tree, holding tightly to a branch above my head, thankful that the leaves blocked the wind from whipping me with my hair. It didn't look as if there would be any storms tonight, but there was a mild wind that couldn't seem to decide which direction it wanted to blow.
What Sanura called quick, seemed to be forever. Eventually, I found myself humming softly to keep my mind off my surrounding. It was funny, but even after all I'd seen, the real monsters I'd come across, a dark forest still put me on edge. I told myself that as reluctant as she'd been to take me at all, Sanura would never have left me alone if she thought I'd be in trouble.
At least until I heard the footsteps.
Off to my left I heard the snapping of twigs and two separate pairs of running feet. I grabbed tightly to the branch above me, careful not to disturb the leaves and leaned out to see where it came from, holding my breath in my tension.
A girl dashed from the bushes and under my tree with a soft cry. When she turned to look behind her, her foot caught on an exposed root and she tripped. She didn't fall however, simply rolled with it, natural as could be and jumped back up. Unfortunately, it cost her enough time that her follower shot beneath me as well and speared into her from behind.
The girl cried out, rolling as the man tumbled over her and popped back up onto his feet. When she tried to crabwalk away from him, he shot forward and grabbed her by her shirtfront, slamming her into a tree a few yards from mine. The girl groaned, trying to fight her way from his grip, but he smiled and slammed her back again, making her go momentarily limp.
My heart was racing in my chest, beating so loud in my ears I feared this man might hear me. I had yet to see his face, but if his muscular build was any sign, this woman needed help, and I was the only one around. Waiting for Sanura would take too long. She didn't have that kind of time.
I made a decision then, that I knew was completely idiotic, but what choice did I have really? Unless I planned to watch whatever he planned to do to her and hope that he didn't find me when he was done. At this point, cowardice was not an option. So, being as quiet as I was physically capable of being, I began a slow decent from the tree. Thankfully another of her cries covered the sound of my landing and I took special care not to step on any dry leaves or sticks this time. I did however find myself a decent fallen branch, big enough to be used as a club, and then moved into the shadows to begin sneaking up on the man.
"Let me go!" the girl cried, her sun bleached blond hair tangling in her face as she thrashed beneath his weight. Her attacker only laughed.
"But then you would run away. It would defeat the purpose." He replied in a voice far too pleasant and playful to belong to a rapist. And judging by the way his hand skimmed down her thigh once he'd secured her hands, that's exactly what he was. The girl shoved at him with no luck, trying to pull away from the hand that had slipped under her knee-length skirt.
"Get off!" she spat, to which he chuckled again.
"I'm trying to, Cass. Stop struggling." As he said this, the girl went stiff against the tree and let out a startled gasp, which I could only assume was from the movement under her skirt.
"Sabin." She managed to get out in a hoarse whisper, right before he leaned forward and kissed her.
When she kissed him back, I froze.
"We're supposed to be searching the woods." The girl said breathily as the man, Sabin, began nibbling at her neck. She gasped again, letting her head fall back against the tree and closed her eyes, evidence that she was perfectly happy to continue here.
Had I really just stumbled across two horney humans? How embarrassing! And what the hell was I supposed to do now? I considered making myself known, but didn't want to deal with the humiliation or answer the questions that might come after as to why I was alone in the woods at 2 in the morning. Unfortunately, that left only trying to sneak away before I was discovered.
"The others are looking Cassidy. If he's not stupid he'll have come alone."
I paused at this, looking back at them from behind a tree. Cassidy frowned, trying to speak, but it was cut off by the moan that escaped her lips when Sabin's hand shifted beneath her skirt again. After a moment however, she shook her head.
"Wait…wait," she said breathily. With a heavy sigh, he paused. "Do you really think he'd come alone? I mean, no vampire is that stupid right?"
A chill shot down my spine at this. They were talking about Isaac, they had to be. What the hell was I going to do?
"Pray that he's an idiot. Then we'd get to kill him." Sabin replied, but Cassidy shook her head.
"Then we need to be looking. Malachi-"
"Has enough people working out here already." He interrupted, then titled his head to kiss her neck. "Now what would you rather do; look for vampires that aren't here, or take off your clothes and have a little fun while we still have the chance."
She considered this a moment, then grinned wickedly, answer enough. "Will you be gentle?" she asked huskily.
"Never." He replied and sent her into another series of moans.
I was embarrassed and mortified all at once, and currently ready to pee myself. What the hell should I do? I couldn't go after Sanura, not when she could be across the forest. The fact that I now knew an unspecified amount of other people was scouring the trees for intruders made this even worse. How could I warn her when I couldn't even leave? The wind whipped my hair around my face, blinding me a moment before changing its direction again and shooting toward the strangers. I would have dismissed it if both hadn't gone stiff a second later.
"What is that?" Cassidy asked, eyes snapping open to scan the trees around me. I froze, holding my breath lest I give myself away. They could smell me. That meant they weren't human, and that I was in more trouble than I'd thought.
I was beginning to regret not listening to Isaac.
Sabin finally turned my direction, giving me my first glimpse of his face. I noticed vaguely that he was handsome before my attention zeroed in on his eyes. I glanced at hers, sucking it a quiet breath when I saw that they had changed. They were no longer blue as they'd been and I could only assume his had changed as well. They stole the light of the moon above us and reflected it back. It took me a moment to figure out why fear had clenched in my gut like coiling snakes. Why I recognized those eyes, yellow and reflective, like an animal. Then it came to me, the world shifted on its axis, and I feared my legs would give out beneath me.
Eyes like an animal.
"No." I breathed, feeling my heart pound in my chest so hard it felt as if it would burst through my ribcage. I knew what they were, why Isaac and Sanura had refused to tell me the details of this trip, and the realization made me want to vomit.
Werewolves.
These were werewolves.
Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun!
I don't think the next chapters will take long because I've had them written since the 5th chapter. I'd debated whether or not I would even put these chapters in this story, but I just can't help myself. I loved them too much to keep them to myself, and it will set up a teensy bit for the sequel…assuming I finish it. Then again, I love this story too much now to stop. It's the first original work I've posted and stuck with in a loooong time and I think it's going to stay with me.
Sabin is pronounced Say-bin
I'm going to assume you all know the correct pronunciation of Malachi, as I haven't a clue how to spell it out phonically for you.
And I might as well get this out now, but the werewolf characters to come are taken from another story I've written, Sabin being the main dude, bwaha. The were-world is a muuuuch different place than the vampire's and I hope to show you as much of it as practical in the chapters to come.
Sabin, like Daniel, is one of my favorites to write. And while I can't offer you a posted story on the wolves now, I do have the first chapter up on fictionpress…though it's a little fucked up and Sabin hasn't been introduced in it yet. the rest is written in various spirals in my room...who know when they shall be transfered to the mighty Interwebs.
I love being able to mix my cast of monsters throughout my different stories.
FUN FACT! Isaac started out as a comic relief in Daniel's story, which is the first I ever wrote in this world( as in this "universe" not the first I ever wrote, THAT was a short story in 1st grade about teachers who'd been possessed and were eating and infesting the students…and subsequently got me sent to the school councilor. BUT THEY COULD NEVER STOP MY WRITING HAHAHAHAHAHA!) It was the story of the girl Daniel turned (the one that fed him glass and tried to set him ablaze…ah…true love) Isaac was crass and hilarious and loved to make Daniel's life difficult, but wasn't really a big part of the story. It wasn't until later that his character started to grow and I began writing little ficlets, playing with his character and tweaking him into something that could work as a stand-alone.( I've debated whether to post those on this site, along with scenes that have been cut from this story including one crazy version of how Mira and Isaac got to sexin', but I'm not sure yet.)
And thus, The Breath of Lies was born. (Which by the way, I am aware is a fucking stupid title. I don't even know what the hell it means, but I wrote it down one night and my friend was all "That sounds awesome!" so it just kinda stuck. Can't trust NOBODY up in this bitch.)
I'd explain a little about Sabin and Accalia's (A-Call-ia) story but I'd like you to get to know my boy on your own. For instance, whether or not he is a good person or a complete monster…like Daniel.
And why, you might be asking is Daniel mentioned so often in this story? What purpose could there be for a random vampire from an entirely different tale to be continually brought up? Well…that IS the question isn't it?
REGARDING THIS CHAPTER
Lidia has spouted a few pretty ridiculous sounding things in her appearances in this story, but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed. I called attention to that fact at the beginning of this chapter in hopes that it might peak your interest. Yes she speaks in riddles, but are all of them nonsense? Perhaps just a few…or even more than a few are hints at what is to come. In fact, seeing as I don't think you'll be able to completely translate her lines, in her first chapter she told everyone what comes in the end. The majority of her lines give at least little bits of the future away, but are too random and strange to really understand until they've happened.
So, if you are interested enough, it could be fun figuring them out. Or you could just read, and ignore the crazy speak as the others do. Either way, she's an insightful little thing. For instance, and honestly this won't give anything away, so don't worry about it too much, she says in this one "Don' let him take me." Him? Hmmmm…interesting.
Sorry to toot my own horn about this, but I just couldn't sit back on it anymore. I put a bit of thought into her glimpses into the future, trying my best to make them easily dismissible as nonsense or pertaining to the scene at hand, when really...they aren't. I might have done too good a job at that, so for my own sake I have to point out that it's going on.
Jesus, this turned into an EPIC fucking author's note.
