I woke to the sound of banging. Startled from my sleep, I jumped out of bed just in time for my bedroom door to open.“sh*t Lyla, what’re you still doing here?” My Dad exclaimed, his eyes darting around at my restless appearance.“Huh?” Was the first thing to leave my lips. For a minute there I hadn’t even remembered leaving grandma’s house.With an exasperated look my Dad replied, “H**l, you’re late for training!”“What!” I gasped, “Why didn’t Seanly wake me up?”“He patrols early in the mornings.” My Dad groaned“Already off to a bad start.”“sh*t, well go so I can get dressed!” I huffed, sprinting to my suitcase and yanking out the first thing I saw.Once my door closed I slipped on a black sports bra and a pair of black leggings. I hastily combed through my hair using the bathroom mirror. In the back of my head I remembered Tyler’s comment about me looking goth. I smirked into the mirror.I darted down the stairs, nearly toppling my grandma over on the way.“Lola if you end my l

While I was heartbroken and fighting back tears, Maya was seething.I closed my eyes and allowed her to take over, making her promise that she wouldn’t go and hunt Tola down.May carried us farther into the woods, and I allowed myself to sink into the furthest depths of her mind. My head was still racing with what had just happened, I wanted to turn everything off for just a few moments. I couldn’t handle it.Hours and hours had passed, but I hardly noticed.
