Chapter 19
“What?” Nina tried to get me to talk again, but I was suddenly aware I didn’t know where Nathan was.
I looked around frantically until my eyes settled on the massive wolf. He circled the Spiritwalker stealthily until jumping forward and nipping at the end of the cloth.
You could tell he was taunting him, but the foolish Spirit thought Nathan was trying to attack and jumped away from him to try and assault from the side. Now Nathan was just enjoying himself as he stepped back and started to circle around again.
I had to tell him. I sprung up and scrambled to the face-off.

We ran for a while until it finally felt safe enough to stop. My leg was throbbing as we slowed and I sat down to try to get a look at it. They must have shot me. I reached my hand back to find the hole the bullet went in, but there was nothing there. No blood, no gaping hole, nothing. Frantically, I looked for the only other thing it could be. Nathan was standing in front of me, favoring his right hind leg. I stood up and moved to Nathan, trying to get him to lay down so I can help. “Did you get shot?” Nina asked me as I winced from moving my leg. “I’m fine, but Nathan did. Do you kno

Nathan was slower than normal, but still kept a steady pace. I assumed he was used to this kind of pain, which made me even more curious about him. I had the pain without the blood loss and I was still struggling to put one foot in front of the next. “There’s no wound,” Nina almost whispered from behind me. “What?” She looked up at me, confusion evident on her face. “There’s no wound on your leg. I thought you got shot, but there’s nothing there.” I shrugged. “Must have pulled a muscle.”

I heard yelling and ran towards it, recognizing Nathan's anguished cry in a second. I realized it must have been Blake and pumped my legs harder, trying to ignore the stinging from Nathan's last shot. I reached back into my pocket and pulled out the handgun that was tucked back into my pant pocket. I slowed as I came closer, listening intently for Nathan's cry. The pain in my leg started to tingle; like when a limb falls asleep from the lack of blood-flow. The numbness came over the pain, silencing as if it was suffocated with the numbing tingles. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion and stepped towards the trees again, looking for Nathan. Either something really good or really bad happened. That could be the only explanation for his pain leaving my body.

Feeling defeated, I pulled out the bills and started counting it up. A small piece of white paper floated from amongst the green. I easily picked it out and opened the folds, studying it carefully. I stepped into the car headlights to read the paper.Nothing is as it seems. 6415554895. A shiver read down my spine as I stared at the number. It was ten digits… a phone number? What kind of person would leave that behind in the place a map was supposed to be? But more importantly, how did they know it was there? “What’s that?” Nina’s voice yanked me back to th

The screeching sound of train breaks split my eardrums in half and I winced from the loud noise. Train cars the size of houses were scattered on random rails while another pile was off to the side, rusted wheels resting in the dirt. I jumped up and followed Nathan, who ducked behind another car. Keeping my body lowered to the ground, I hid from the bright sun pocketing sunshine through some dark clouds. The cool wind was cutting through the holes previously embedded in my sleeves, but it kept me hidden so the battered shirt stayed on. Nathan's midnight fur was enough to keep him from being spotted. But now that it was light, all of these dark clothes only made us more suspicious and conspicuous. I looked at the rail cars driving by, looking for the number

I stayed motionless, worrying of the man was going to come back and call us out on our illegal manner of transportation. Nathan didn't hardly move as he also waited for the same thing, eager for the train to start moving so we can feel safe again. He was still pressed firmly against my back and I could feel the heave of his chest as he breathed evenly in the dark. It was a while before the train whistle finally went off and the train jerked from the release of the breaks. Relief flooded over me and I started to stand. Nathan vetoed my action by staying still, pressing his heavy muscles over me. “Nathan, let me get up,” I demanded harshly, wanting to escape his cl

“Yes what?” Nathan's lip curled up slightly in amusement. “You know I can still read some of your thoughts. Yes, I killed kids. Is that really the reason you went with that guy? Because he told you about my past?” “No, I told you I didn't grab his hand, he took mine.” “Whatever,” he said, still not believing me. I shook my head. “So why did you do it?” Nathan leaned his head back on the rusty car and peered at me down his nose. “It's a long story.&r

I didn't know what time it is, but I know it's late. It took us a while to completely leave the train grounds, seeing as though the property was huge and there were people everywhere, but nobody really seemed to question our presence and we slipped out smoothly. The sun has set behind the mountains and the street lights and countless fast-food restaurants were the only shining things in the darkness of the night. The moon and stars were completely covered by the thick, heavy rainclouds threatening to spill all over us. Every once in a while, we would see a few people lingering around, but Nathan just shot them a nasty glare, pulled me closer to his side, and we walked right
