Chapter 41

Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared. I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story. Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my

Chapter 42

"RUN!"I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me. I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running. I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house. Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that

Chapter 43

Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could

Chapter 44

Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,
