Caislyn, “Uh Uh! There's no
way I can make that jump, do you see these heels? Besides, it‘s way
too high and I don‘t fancy another trip to the hospital.” Jax
pointed to her boots and then looked back up accusingly at Caislyn,
“What do they want anyway? What have you done?”
“Nothing,” Caislyn began as the roof top door burst
open and out flowed an angry looking clan of vampires.
The vamp in the black leather pants and doc marten's
stepped forward, "How do you like 12 now, bitch?"
“Shit!” Caislyn grabbed hold of Jaxon's arm and
looked over the edge of the building to the alley beneath them
wishing there was a way down. No sooner than she thought about
needing a way down than she blinked her eyes open and Jaxon and
Caislyn were standing in the alley.
“You can fly!" Jaxon looked wide-eyed towards
Caislyn, “What was in those damn drinks? Damn, I always choose red.
Couldn't choose the blue drink and wake up in my own bed could
I?”
“What the hell?” Caislyn looked at Jax wondering what
she was talking about.
“You know, like in that movie?” Jax attempted to
explain.
“No, I meant how the hell did we get down here?”
Caislyn was questioning whether Jaxon had something to do with the
unusual form of transportation that had just placed them in the
alley. “Never mind, let's worry about the details later. We need to
get out of here.”
Caislyn lead Jax through the alley and out to the
street. They turned right and began to head to Caislyn's apartment
over the Hidden Dimensions Book Store when Jax chimed in, “But
my apartment is the other way.”
“Trust me we will be safer at my place.”
“Uh, I hope it's not much further because they are
right on our ass!”
Caislyn turned to see how many vampires were
following behind when she saw two of them snatched into the air and
thrown like rag dolls back towards the alley. She also noted two
vamps going down, looking as if they had been tripped. Caislyn
remembered that was the entrance Gregore was working and she smiled
inside knowing he tried to help.
“Just run,” she yelled at Jax as they both pick up
there speed.
The girls approached the book store and Caislyn
mumbled a spell that automatically opened the shop doors for them.
They immediately ran through and Caislyn slammed the door shut
behind them. “Keep going to the back of the store. The stairs to my
apartment are back there.” Caislyn turned momentarily at the door
and looked back out at the street. She didn’t see anyone out there,
but she felt an odd compulsion to go back to the rave for some
reason. She resisted it and turned to follow Jax upstairs to the
apartment.
***
Picturing the Future
Jax didn't question her new friend's command and
continued to run toward the stairs. The girls found their way up to
the third floor apartment, breathlessly closing the door behind
them as they entered.
“What if they get in, we have to hide!” Jax
panted.
“It's okay, we are safe in here.”
“But there’s no lock, they can get in.”
“No, it's really okay, I have wards up. They are
better than locks any day.” Caislyn told her bluntly.
“Oh we have something like that at work, I think.”
Jaxon didn't seem to sure of herself and Caislyn looked at her
wondering what she was. Certainly, she couldn't be a witch or any
other magical being if she didn't know about wards.
Jaxon stared at Caislyn and said, “You're a witch!
That's how you got us down from the roof, but wait, I thought you
needed a broom for that. Did I miss the broom?”
“Did you what?” Caislyn looked at Jaxon and said, “I
didn't get us down from the roof, I thought you did. And yes, I am
a witch, aren't you?”
“Umm, no! No, I'm not and no, I definitely didn't!”
Jax looked at Caislyn again, waiting for an explanation.
“Well what are you then?”
“Duh, I'm human!” Jax rolled her eyes at Caislyn then
started to wander around the apartment nervously.
Caislyn followed slightly behind
