Chapter Fourteen

“What’s our next plan of attack?” I asked as I leaned forward, putting my forearms on the table’s smooth surface. “Another detention facility?”

Another beat of silence passed as the rebel leaders looked around at each other but never at me. They were hiding something, or rather trying to figure out how to break some kind of news to me. The only person as clueless as me was Dev, since we had both missed the beginning of the meeting.

I turned halfway around to look at Xan then the other way to look at Matias. Unlike the rest of the people there, they both looked me in the eye, but with hardened jaws and angry eyes. The longer I looked, I realized they weren’t angry at me though. They didn’t like what was about to happen. It had to have something to do with what Amos wanted to talk to them about.

“What’s going on?”

I narrowed my eyes and willed my grandfather to make eye contact with me. Eventually, he gave in and sighed, looking up at me and clasping his hands together in front of him.

“Our plan of only attacking their detention facilities isn’t working. At least, not as well as we’d hoped.”

“Yeah, I gathered that,” I replied warily and adjusted myself in my chair, sitting up a little straighter. “In the time it takes us to destroy one, a couple more pop up.”

He nodded his head in agreement. “We just don’t have the manpower to keep up with it all. We’re losing.”

“We don’t want to do that,” Ingrid interrupted me. “We…” she looked around the table then stopped back on my face, “we believe that we need to go back to our original plan of getting the supernatural society behind us as well. We need numbers and if we show the paranormal world what their leaders are doing… and that there’s hope for a better future…”

“Barry, the caster who’s memory Ingrid showed us, is allowing us to use it as propaganda for our cause,” Amos then told me. “We are going to spread the images and our message on the internet.”

“Your message? Which is what exactly?”

When Amos wouldn’t answer, Ingrid did it for him. “That our supernatural government is beyond corrupt and that we have a solution. One that has been foretold… you.”

I inhaled deeply through my nose and held it for several seconds before letting it out through my mouth. They wanted people to see me and who I was. They wanted the people to remember the ancient prophecy that most believed to only be a fairytale, but one they should believe in with their whole hearts because I was a living, breathing manifestation of that prophecy.

If they showed the images of the raid to the supernatural society, there would be panic, but if
