CHAPTER 15

We piled into the vehicle, Joshua in the backseat with me and Chloe up front beside Elsa, who drove us towards Torv. We had packed enough food and water in the trunk for the journey east. The top was down and sunlight streamed in as we headed east, glaring as Elsa struggled to see the road ahead.

I was thankful to have Joshua in the back to myself. My hand rested on his thigh as I kept my lips sealed.

I'm glad you're here. I thought to him, knowing only he could hear my thoughts. It was nice to be able to talk without Chloe listening. I still didn't trust her, and it wasn't as though Elsa needed to hear us conversing either.

Nowhere else for me to be. Joshua smiled at me. He squeezed my hand. We doing this the whole trip?

I laughed under my breath, glad the wind was loud as I tried to stop myself from laughing aloud. I wanted to ask you something, for only us to hear.

Joshua shifted and sat facing forward, his eyes on the road in front of us, pretending nothing was transpiring. He didn't want Chloe to suspect anything, especially if we both started laughing for no apparent reason. This better be good, he teased me.

It always is, I thought to him. Do you think we'll find the need to use our abilities in Torv?

Joshua glanced at me. I hope it doesn't come to that. In fact I'm pretty sure we should be careful not to stand out. If anyone suspected what we're capable of, I'd hate to think what they'd do to us.

I swallowed the knot in my stomach. You think someone would intentionally hurt us? I didn't want to consider Joshua might be right.

Promise me no matter what you won't use your special talents. Joshua stared at me, waiting for an answer.

I shifted anxiously in the backseat. I didn't intend on doing anything, but things happen. When my emotions ran high, I tended to react. Joshua knew that about me. I could see the concern in his eyes. I'll be careful, I reassured him. I just had to keep reminding myself that I couldn't show my abilities. In Shadow I'd gotten used to it; often I felt as though it had become a part of me. I had to watch myself around strangers. Our abilities were one of our biggest defenses in fighting the government and were an even greater offense.

Good. Joshua smiled. He leaned closer, moving his hand from mine as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. His lips tickled my ear. “We should both probably behave,” he whispered.

I laughed, turning my head as our mouths brushed against each other. “This is behaving?” I raised an eye and saw the look in Joshua's eyes.

“It is,” Josh nodded. My hand moved to rest on Joshua's thigh. “Now look who is misbehaving,” he teased me.

“Au contraire!” I laughed. “I am behaving quite well considering being locked in the backseat with you for days on end.
