reached a hand out to steady himself but collapsed onto the floor.
Jaden turned when he heard the thud. “Chase!” Jaden rolled Chase over and checked if he was breathing. His eye caught sight of the marks on Chase’s right arm. A cold shiver ran through Jaden’s body. He ran out of the room to find his father.
Mr. M ran back into the room with his son shortly behind. He took one look at Chase’s arm and threw his coffee mug across the room, shattering it in several pieces.
“What is it Dad?”
“Those would be the mark of Occlusion. It appears the kids haven’t been telling us everything.”
“Oh god. Then it’s happened? Chase is in this?”
“It would appear so. None of us can do anything about it, except nothing which will kill them both. Most likely Lyla is somewhere in her house in the same position. Jaden, I’m going to wake Chase. When I do, I want you to get him out of here. His parents can’t know what’s going on.”
“Why?”
“I have my reasons. I’ll explain later. If we don’t get the next ceremony done soon,” He glanced at his watch, “More like the next two hours, they’re both dead. I have to get Lyla out of that house before her parents freak.”
“Where should I take Chase?”
“It has to be far from here otherwise his parents will sense it. I think he has a tracker on him. They went to Clearwater recently, let’s go there.”
“Okay.”
Mr. M placed a hand on Chase’s forehead.
“Chase, it’s time.”
Chase opened his eyes and looked around the room.
“What the…”
Mr. M looked down at Chase with sad eyes. He didn’t want this for him. “Chase, Jaden will explain what just happened. You have to leave, we’ll meet you.”
Chase rubbed his face. “We?”
“Lyla.” Mr. M said, his face going grave.
Chase sat up quickly. “What happened to Lyla?”
“Same thing most likely that just happened to you, now go, we haven’t much time.”
Jaden helped Chase up and all three left the house. The boys got into Jaden’s truck and Mr. M took off in his toward Lyla’s house. Once there he used an opening charm on the door and walked in quietly. Lyla was on the floor by the kitchen, her parent’s hadn’t found her yet.
Mr. M hurried over and lifted her up off the floor, trying to make as little noise as possible. He gently placed her in the passenger side of his truck, raced back to shut the front door and took off. He thought about placing a confusion spell on the house but decided against it, they wouldn’t be up for hours and by then, this would all be done.
Mr. M maneuvered the truck down S. Florida Avenue as fast as its engine would allow. When he hit the on ramp for I-4 he glanced over at Lyla.
“Lyla, wake up.” He placed a hand on her forehead and coaxed her out of her deep sleep.
Lyla’s eyes opened. She sat up quickly, alarmed at her surroundings. “Mr. M? What’s going on?”
“You passed out.” He waited a minute for that to sink in. “So did Chase.”
A crease ran across Lyla’s forehead. “Is Chase alright?”
“Yes. He’s the same as you. Lyla, would you do me a favor and push your sleeve up?”
Lyla sat back and stared out the window. “Why?”
“You know why.”
Lyla looked over at Mr. M, she trusted him. He wouldn’t ask if he couldn’t help. Lyla sighed and pushed her left sleeve up to her elbow.
Mr. M could see intricate lines snaking around her arm in the same pattern as Chase’s. “How long ago did they start?”
“I found the first mark after meeting Chase. It started on the back of my shoulder.” Lyla looked down at her hands. “I can’t find any books about it.”
Mr. M ran a hand through his hair. “You’ve had those marks since October?” It was worse than he had thought.
“Yes, but it’s been growing pretty steadily. Do they have anything to do with this mysterious thing in my life?”
“Markings of Occlusion, why don’t you sit back, we have a long drive to Clearwater where we’re
