Chapter Nineteen

“Dylan, are you okay?” Karma asked softly as she wrapped her arms around him.

“It’s gone,” he replied as he looked at the spot where his beautiful home used to sit. “The house, the barn, everything is just gone.”

“Not everything,” Jackson said as he walked up beside them. “If not for Harrison, I would have been in the house when they showed up. After you talked to him, he made me move everything into the storm cellar and lock myself in there. I have no idea where he is now though.”

“I think he’s dead,” Dylan said with an air of sadness he hadn’t felt since his mother died.

“What makes you think that?” Karma asked.

“Know how the elders taught you how to open yourself up to the link between you and Vincent? Well, I was practicing it too, and I can’t feel Harrison.”

“Maybe he’s just left the area to lead Vincent away from Jackson. I can’t feel Vincent anywhere around either.”

“Maybe,” Dylan said doubtfully. “Jacks, what all did you take to the cellar with you?”

“The stuff we had of Mom’s, the pictures, and some of my clothes.” Jackson answered. “I figured everything else could be replaced if something happened.”

“Thank you,” Dylan said and pulled his brother into a one-armed hug.

“You’re welcome,” Jackson replied. “That stuff will be safe for now, but we need to find a place to stay for a while.”

“Let’s head to Harrison’s. If he returns to the area he will go to his house, and I want him to know we are all okay.”

“We also need to contact the elders and let them know what’s going on. I may not totally trust them, but they can help,” Karma told them.

“I don’t totally trust them either, but I agree they can help. Let’s go to Harrison’s and you can call Nevaeh from there. I’m sure she’s still with them. They’re probably heading this way anyway.”

“Okay. Jackson, grab you some clothes and let’s go,” Karma said, and Jackson disappeared through a hidden door in the ground. He was back less than a minute later with a backpack. “You can ride with me.”

“Sweet,” he said with a grin as Karma slid onto her bike. “I promise to hold on tight.”

“Not too tight, little brother,” Dylan said as he climbed on his own bike.

Jackson laughed as he climbed behind Karma and slid his hands around her waist. His grip tightened a bit when Karma took off behind Dylan and they drove the short distance to Harrison’s house.

“Do you really think he could still be alive?” Dylan asked later that night after they had both showered away the road dust from traveling so far in such a short time.

“I do.” Karma answered honestly. “Chances are he’s leading Vincent on a wild goose chase and will be contacting you soon to let you know he’s alright.”

“I hope you’re right, Karma. He’s been part of my life for a really long time and I honestly don’t know what I would do without him.”

“You’d survive the same as I have without my family.
