every few days, maintaining as close of a relationship as I could with them. Hopefully it would ease their worry and prevent them from sending out a search party for me. With Thanksgiving being so close, we knew they would be more emotional since I was not going to spend the holiday with them.
The day before Thanksgiving, Dominic had a major achievement with his skills when he moved the tractor with his mind. This was a first for him to move something of such weight and size. We felt this could be beneficial for all of us as we imagined the things he could have control over now, even ways to protect us from harm.
Thanksgiving Day arrived and Dominic was busy in the kitchen whipping up the fanciest meal I'd ever seen. That man truly liked to cook and I absolutely hated it. He realized that cooking was not my specialty and didn't push the issue by asking for any help. I made myself useful by setting the table, washing the dishes, and general cleaning when needed.
Our little team gathered round the table and made the best of it. The food was delicious without a doubt. We took a little extra time off for the day to relax, chit chat and try to acknowledge that it was actually Thanksgiving. As the day ended, tension started to fill the air as everyone wandered off to their rooms. We had to pack and get prepared for the next day's drive to Kentucky. It was time to go meet the werewolves.
Chapter 6
Moving
I woke up on my own that Friday morning. No one had to wake me and no alarm clock was needed. My emotions were having a battle between excitement and fear over the upcoming events. Daniel and I had a brief telepathic connection as I sat on the edge of my bed before I joined the others for breakfast. We would soon be seeing each other in the flesh instead of just in our minds and in our dreams.
Daniel, by early afternoon we will arrive at your resort. I can't wait to see you. I couldn't help myself from gushing out the thoughts.
He replied, Yes, it will be my pleasure to give you a real hug in person. But we all know that this trip is not for fun and games. I can't help but worry about your safety.
I'll admit, I'm pretty wired, but I have improved my psychic powers tremendously over the last week or so. Dominic has also been beefing up his skills and his ability to control objects with his mind is amazing. We have all been prepping ourselves for this mission. I'm ready for a little mind to mind combat. I was psyching myself up and trying to ease Daniel's concern at the same time.
Daniel quickly snapped back, Kara, I don't want you having ANY type of combat if it can be avoided. But I understand why Eli and Dominic brought you on board. You will have to attempt calming Stephen with your mind. But I promise you this…I will not let Stephen harm you and if he does, then he must be killed.
Daniel, I don't know what to say. Thank you…I should get ready now. I'll see you soon. I ended the mental connection with a powerful push into his mind relaying comfort and thankfulness.
Over the next two hours, our team had breakfast, tidied things up around the facility and loaded up the van with the necessities. Zac and Tessa kept reviewing a checklist which dreadfully sounded like items that could be used in hunting or a combat scenario. I tried not to pay too much attention to them as what they discussed made me nervous. Eli always seemed to be more the brains behind the action. He hadn't been as involved in the previous week's preparations. Eli was always in research mode being the scientist and doctor he was. He also planned to use his mediation skills when called upon. Dom and I really didn't have to think much about what to take. Clothes and personal items were all we needed to take since our minds were our weapons, and of course we didn't need to pack those.
Zac chose to be the driver with Eli sitting in the front passenger seat. Dom, Tessa and I sat in the other seats, trying to make ourselves as
