Chapter 2

"She's waking up." I heard feminine voice whisper.

I opened up my eyes but quickly shut them when the sun blinded me. Lets try this again. I re-opened them slowly this time to find my self in the backseat of the taxi cab with a boy and a girl who looks my age.

***Arabella's Pov.***

"Are you alright Arabella Gilbert?" the girl with sky blue eyes and golden hair that goes down to the mid of her back asked me.

"I think so." I replied, "Who are you? What happened? And why are we all the way out in the middle of nowhere in a taxi cab?"

And how does she know my name?

"I could be asking the same thing." the taxi driver with patch of dark hair, tan skin and a body of a wrestler.

"Arabella Gilbert you were nearly hit by an oncoming vehicle and my brother saved you." the girl explained.

"And he is dropping my sister and I off to our destination." I heard a masculine voice. I looked up and melted into the orbs of a boy who has the same hair and eye color as his sister. He has a strong jaw, and by the look of his body he is well built. I glanced at his business card on his dashboard saying Jack Bruno.

I realized my head was on his lap so I jolted up feeling my face heat up a bit.

"Oh, Let us introduce ourselves. My name's Sara." Sara introduce herself and shook my hand, "And this is my twin brother Seth."

"Nice to meet you both. And thank you Seth for saving my life." I said.

Seth gave a nod before taking out his device and started playing on it.

"Are your parents ok with you spending all this money?" Jack asked while looking at the meter which is close to four hundred dollars.

"We have previously agreed on our financial deal. If your concern with our conversation with-" Seth began before getting cut off.

Jack looked through the rear view mirror. "My concern is that I have three kids in my cab, with a big wad of cash and a drop off some pretty much in a middle of nowhere. Now in my book, that's a little chapter called running away!"

The crackling sound of the radio sounded as a voice came through.

"You better be getting dessert miles on that fare. And they better be able to pay. And you better get me an ETA! Kapeesh?"

Jack sigh and spoke into a speaker. "I'm losing reception Dominic."

I snorted a little.

"Jack Bruno the vehicles behind us are indicating a pattern of pursuit." Sarah worriedly said.

I looked behind us to see black SUV's right behind us. I had this feeling in my gut that something is going to happen. And its not good either.

"There's no black vehicles following us." Jack denied.

I resisted to roll my eyes. "Really? You might want to check again."

Jack check and saw them.

"At our current rate of speed versus theirs, they will overtake our vehicle in less than one minute." Seth said.

Jack just didn't believe him. "Relax kid! I'm just going to let them pass!"

Jack slowed the cab down. The vehicles didn't pass, he rolled the window down and signaled them to pass us. "Open road people! All yours!" He rolled the window back up.

One of the SUV's came up next to us and stayed there for a minute. I felt Seth tense up next to me, I looked at him and saw him staring out the window at the passenger side of the vehicle. It was as if we were being watched.

"What did I tell you?" Jack asked turning to us, "Nobody's following us. I'm the King of these roads-"

"Jack Bruno!" Sara yelled stretching her hand out.

An SUV appeared in front of us and the cab slid around.

Jack pressed down on the gas and sped down the highway.

"I said I was out and I meant it!" Jack yelled.

"Who is Mr. Wolfe Jack Bruno?" Sara asked.

"How do you know that-" Jack got cut off by another SUV slamming behind us. I felt Seth wrap his arm around me and pulled me to him while Sara held my hand.

"Get down now!" Jack ordered. We did as told. I felt the cab being banged side to side and from the back. "Hold on."

"Jack Bruno it would be we have not eluded them." Sara said.

Jack shook his head frustrated. "I am so over this. Stay down! Stay down!" He reversed the cab back before speeding forward.

"Seth no." I heard Sara whisper to Seth.

"Its not a good idea."

"I have to try." Seth whispered back.

I felt his touch leave mine. I opened both of my eyes that I had closed tightly and shifted my head to my right to see him..gone! My eyes widened like saucers, I turned and looked out the window to see Seth standing out in the middle of the highway with an SUV heading straight towards him.

"What is he doing?" I thought.

"You'll see Arabella Gilbert." Sara answered my thought it's like she can read minds. She looked at me wide eyed.

I watched in fear as the SUV came closer and closer..instead splattering him. The vehicle literally bounced off him, flipped over while parts came off.

I pressed my lips in a line before whipping my head around and stretch my hand out in a fist and used my powers to make the cab come to a halt. I ignored Sara's stare not caring if she sees me using them.

"Now what?" Jack asked, "Is one of you doing this?"

I didn't reply I flattened my hand and the gear changed. The cab reversed to where Seth is.

"You three ok?" Jack asked us not realizing Seth is not in the cab.

"Were-" Sara started.

I felt the seat shift. I turned my head to see Seth.

"Fine." He said, "We should just keep moving."

We continued riding to who knows where in silence, still shooken up. Thoughts spun in my head, 'Who were those people?' 'And how did Seth do that without getting himself killed?'
