Twenty-Two

The Boy

It was time.

The boy could feel how close the others were. They must have been traveling all day to get to the coast. He’d been tracking their fear and anxiety. At this point, he was so connected to their energy, he could even feel when one of them was hurt.

Noah, the healer of their group, had somehow taken on an injury earlier in the day. Nothing life threatening, but it was bad enough to have caused him considerable pain.

But other than their fear, the traveling guardians had stayed out of any real danger all day.

Still, the boy had wanted to wait until they were settled and safe to contact them.

Zoe had been waiting nervously all day, too. She kept asking him if he could tell where Parrish was and whether she was coming to get her or not. She wanted to talk to her sister and make sure she had gotten out of the encounter with the Dark One.

No matter how many times he reassured her that Parrish was okay and was already making her way to the coast, Zoe didn’t seem to trust it.

He couldn’t blame her, really. They’d all been through so much, and Zoe had experienced the added torture of having to hear her own father turning into one of those things in the other room.

Late last night, when they’d been up talking about their lives and what they’d been through since the virus started, Zoe had told him that she’d spent the entire time in that hotel room worried that her father would break out of that room at any moment and kill her.

“I’ve been having nightmares about it again,” she’d confessed to him late last night, pulling her arms tight around her body. “As if it had really happened. As if my own father had killed me.”

She hid her head in her arms and shivered.

It was enough to make the boy cry.

How did a ten-year-old girl ever really recover from that kind of trauma?

Seeing her sister again was the only thing she cared about anymore, and he was determined to help make that happen.

Besides, the survival of this entire world depended on him reuniting with Parrish and the others and getting to that island.

Now that they had finally connected to each other and completed the circle between them all, the boy’s memories had been coming back more and more. His powers, too.

He hadn’t had a chance to really test it, but he had a feeling he could fly a lot further now, even without rooftops. He was pretty sure he could change the weather a great deal, too. He’d played around with it a little bit this afternoon, and it hadn’t taken much concentration to turn a relatively sunny, cloudless day into a stormy grey afternoon.

He had to be careful with that, though. The Dark One would be able to sense his magic the same way he could now sense the presence of his friends as they got closer.

Too much time using his powers would allow her to pinpoint their location, and that would ruin everything.
