Chapter 5

Lorcan slammed through the brushes of the Mir towards Hallifax. His body fueled with an adrenalin rush coursing through his veins. It really was like Anna all over again. He shook his head and cleared her image from his mind as he ran. Maybe he wouldn’t be too late this time.

Chris was running not far behind him trying to keep in pace as they both ripped through the forest. They both ran with their eyes locked forward and determination in each bounding step they took.

“Lorcan, there,” Chris pointed forward at the cityline off in the distance. It must be Hallifax. Lorcan tried to pick up the pace as much as he could.

They scoured the city looking for any place where Catherine could be. Not a single inn recognized her off description. Lorcan was beginning to wish he had some sort of image of her to show. Maybe his description was off. Too busy imagining Anna, he could be describing the wrong one to them.

He cleared his head. No. Chris would have a more accurate description of her even if he was mistaken. But he knew he wasn’t.

An oculi whizzed quickly through the streets toward a small grey stone building covered in soft vines that were flowering, despite their surroundings. A crudely made sign hung outside the door which read Pale Pixel Pub. The two men entered and were immediately greeted with a wall of blades.

“Well, hello to you too. Some way to greet weary travelers,” Chris noted sarcastically.

“No, but I think it’s a fitting welcome for bounty,” one of the men sneered. The other men chuckled along at his attempt at wit.

“Bounty?” Lorcan asked.

At this point, he and Chris had already drawn their weapons of choice and they stood in a stalemate with the men.

“You’re wanted by the elite for some reason. Nice payout for knocking over your bucket. And this guy, well. We’ll add you in just for fun,” he smiled.

Lorcan hated players like this. The true pawns of Eden. The ones that played Eden as the Elite intended. They slaughtered. Hunted. Lurked. They did as the elite ordered.

“Stop, I won’t have bloodshed in my new restaurant!” A voice yelled across the men. They turned around to see the small girl pouting atop the bar counter.

Both the men were relieved to see Catherine standing there. She was in different clothes than she had worn on the ship, you’d never guess that she was a woman of riches. She smiled at Lorcan and Chris. Then ran up to hug them.

“I’m sorry,” she began to apologize to Lorcan and he waved it off. She didn’t know how he could be so forgiving of her after how she had acted. She was a brat. She had acted like she was better than him. Like a true elite player. She had called him a pawn.

“No, I’m sorry. I’ve lost my way as of late. Chris has made it clear to me. I haven’t been myself and I have been taking my anger and grief out on everyone around me,” Lorcan said.
