MIA“Javier!” I yelled at the top of my voice as he and the mysterious Killian fellow seemed to vanish into thin air.“No, no, this cannot be happening,” I muttered to myself as my panic reached new heights.I got off the sofa and ran to Ivan and rocked him viciously, “Ivan, get up, get the hell up, right now!”I pleaded and shouted but he remained unresponsive, he just lay there, like a log of wood.I ran upstairs to my room, took my phone and dialed Bastien’s number, he answered on the first ring.“Mia?”“Come over right now!” I screamed into the receiver and hung up.My heart was going crazy in my chest and my head was spinning. I couldn’t think straight, who was that guy and what had he done to Ivan. Where had he taken Javier? Was I truly never going to see Javier ever again?‘Calm down, Mia, you are spiraling out of control, try to get a grip on your emotions,’ Lynn tried to advise.‘How, get a grip how? My mates are dead because of me,’ I said sobbing.‘Your mates are not dead y
MIA“What?” I muttered, my jaw dropping in shock. What the hell was Leo saying now? This made no sense.“What? That’s not possible, how is that possible?”“I have no idea,” Leo replied, still breathing hard, “All I know is that, when we got there, she wasn’t there.”“Could it be that you guys just went to the wrong location?” I asked.“Was it not the same location that both you and Rylee saw in her mind?” Leo asked back.“Yes, it was,” I replied,“Then, there goes your answer. There was no one there.”What Leo was saying did not make any sense to me, there was no way that he, Olivia, and Rylee went to the location I saw in Rylee’s mind and were unable to find my mom. Something was amiss; I just could not accept this, given the fact that I had seen that same location when I just had my vision. In my vision, my mother reached out to me and asked me for help in rescuing her. There was no doubt in my mind that she was still stuck there in the Elder forest. As to why Leo and his group cou
MIA“What in the hell are you saying, Leo?” Bastien exploded. “Are you out of your mind? Ask Rylee for help. What a joke.”“Hear me out,” Leo protested.“Rylee just tried to kill me and my mates by trapping me in her mind and immediately after that, she went on a vindictive mission to kill my mother, that’s the Rylee you want me to ask for help?” I exploded too.How unbelievably bold of Leo to come into my house and suggest that I go crawling to Rylee of all people for help, was he insane?“I know but…” I cut Leo off.“Do you, Leo? Are you sure you do?”“My son’s life is at stake damn it, I don’t make this suggestion lightly,” Leo shot back. “I am very confident that Rylee will help us.”“Yeah? And what makes you so sure of that?” I questioned.“Power… Rylee is obsessed with it, if there is someone else out there who is more powerful than she is, trust me, she would want to know. From what you have told me about this strange man, he just might be.”“What makes you think we want her he
MIAWhat the hell had just happened? One minute we were walking into the Elder forest together, and Leo was telling me that no matter what, we should not get separated, and now, I was standing all by myself. How the hell did that happen?Where were Bastien and Leo? “Bastien! Leo!” I called out but all I got back was the echo of my voice, nothing more.This was beginning to become scary, the whole idea was to go with Leo who knew his way around the forest, he was able to go in with Rylee and Olivia and even after getting separated from them, he was able to escape unscathed.I, on the other hand, knew nothing about this place, how I was supposed to find my way, and talked less about finding Rylee. This was bad, this was a terrible situation.How was I going to see myself out of this one? I needed to think, Lynn always told me that I was too impulsive and that was why I always got myself into trouble and made the wrong decisions.I won’t do that this time around. I would calm down and co
MIAAt the cry for help, I felt a buzzing inside my chest, it felt like something that had been bound was getting set free. Like some unseen door had just opened and something inexplicable was about to come out of the doorI could feel it all over my body, my skin was tingling, my veins were pulsating and my eyes were ablaze like a fiery pit as a boatload of power surged through me.It was like I was getting overloaded with more power than I could handle as the energy in me continued to build up and build up until I could not contain it within myself any longer and I let out a scream.My voice tore through the forest with a force that shook the place and it echoed across every corner of the ancient forest causing leaves to fly about and birds to flee from their nests.As I screamed, I released the power that had built up within me, it felt hot, like a flame that needed to be set free and I just set it free.At first, nothing happened after I screamed and then, steam began to rise from
JAVIERI woke up with a splitting headache that made my head feel as if it was going to explode. I was not used to this, we wolves healed very quickly from all physical ailments.The fact that I had such a serious migraine was proof that whatever it was that was done to me was very serious.My eyes blinked open and I took in my environment, I was in a very different place from where I was last.The last thing I remembered was being at home with Ivan, waiting for Mia to wake when a strange man came to the door and told us he was a friend of Sarcana – Mia’s mother.I sighed in regret, why did we fall for his cheap trick and open the door for him, letting him in was our biggest mistake because he sprayed something in the air and the last thing I remembered was trying to attack him before passing out.I had no idea how much time had passed if it was even still the same day. What about Ivan and Mia, where were they? Where was I?I sat up without making a noise and adjusted my sight to see
MIAThe torment seemed never-ending, and the magical power that helped me keep it a bay for a while was gone. It was me with the voices all over again and it was a losing battle just like before.They were laughing, jeering, and taunting me and I was slapping at the mist and shouting, trying to drive them all away, there was no end to them, no reprieve, the images kept coming, the voices kept coming and I felt like I was going insane.The voices kept quiet for a bit and I saw my opening, the images were just beginning to reform into another sad and painful memory from my past but I was not about to allow it to finish forming.I forced myself to my feet and took off running, I ran without caring what direction I was heading in, I just wanted to put as much distance as possible between me and the phantoms that were tormenting me.“Where the hell do you think you are going, come back here,” the voices commanded.I shook my head, trying to drive them out.“Come back Mia, we will miss you.
MIAThe sound of the inhuman voice I heard sent a chill running down my spine, what the hell was that? I wondered."Oh no!" my mom exclaimed, "He has found us Mia, we have to run now.""Mom, you are confusing me, who has found us?" I queried.She grabbed hold of me, there was a wild fearful look in her eyes, "I have always dreaded this day darling, the day that he would come looking for you.""Mom, you are beginning to scare me. Just tell me what the hell is going on, what is that voice?""I had always known that you would be meant to do great things. Ever since I was pregnant with you, I could feel it but the problem was, many dark entities could feel it too. He is one of those dark entities that want our powers - yours and mine all for himself.""Who exactly is he, Mom?" I asked her. The way she was trembling with fear was starting to get me scared more and more.I hoped deep down that whoever it was she was talking about was not the same person who drugged Javier and Ivan and asked
