Excerpt:
You may as well come out,” she called. “I know you’re in
there.” Both girls scanned the trees for any trace of movement.
Finally, off to their left, a figure emerged from the thick
brush. It was a man neither of them recognized. He was short and wiry, with
bright red hair and freckles. Jilly thought he was almost too adorable to be
afraid of. Almost being the operative word. He came to a stop about six feet in
front of them and held up his hands in a gesture of peace.
“I don’t mean you
any harm,” he said, reiterating the gesture. “I’m only here to set up a meeting
between you and Sabine,” he said as he nodded his head in Jilly’s direction.
“And what if I
don’t agree to this meeting? Will you mean us harm then?” she asked as she
slowly rubbed her palms together. She felt the familiar reassuring tingle in
her fingers.
“Sabine doesn’t
want you hurt. She just wants to talk, but if I have to hurt you I will.” He
walked a step or two closer. The look on his face was anything but friendly.
“I’d stay where
you are if I were you,” Jilly said forcefully. “You really don’t know me.” She
rubbed her palms faster. Her palms and fingers were glowing by now.
The man looked at her and shrugged before charging toward
her. Jilly put up her hands and grabbed his arm; he went down fast. She kept a
hold of his arm until she felt the warmth in her hands start to fade, and
yelled for Caroline to make a run for it.
“No, I’m not going
to just leave you here with him,” Caroline yelled.
“Does it look like
I’m helpless?” she shot back. Caroline looked at her with narrowed eyes and
Jilly said, “I’ll be right behind you, just go!”
Caroline nodded and took off running as Jilly started to rub
her palms again. She shocked the man once more to make sure he stayed down for
a while and took off after her sister.
She caught up to Caroline a little ways off from the house.
They both ran at full speed the rest of the way back and up into the house.
Caroline slammed the door and threw the deadbolt.
“Right,” Jilly
said sarcastically, “do you really think something like a locked door is going
to stop them if they really want to get in?”
“I don’t know, it
just seemed like the right thing to do,” Caroline said in a nervous voice.
