Chapter 13

The Tennessee State line comes into view. My excitement to be here is overwhelming. I can’t believe we made it in one piece. As we cross the bridge into Memphis, I couldn’t help but look out at the water. The boats and barges are going about their day. Not even knowing the danger they are in, if I don’t defeat Drik.

“This is so exciting. I can’t believe we are here. I mean I knew we were coming here. Skye, do you want to drive from here. Since you kind of know where we are going?”

I smile at my best friend. I love it when she’s chipper. Makes me be in a better mood. “Yeah, just take the next exit and we will switch.”

I take one last look at the river before we are over the bridge. Something about the water calms me. Whatever it was I’m thankful. These last five days have been hell for all of us. I’m ready for life to settle down just a bit.

Lex takes the next exit and pulls into the gas station. “We might as well fill up and use the restroom while we’re here. Do you guys want anything while I’m in there?”

“I will go with you. I need to grab a few things too.” Grabbing my bag from the floor, I head inside with her.

“You have been quiet since we pulled over. Are you still thinking about what happened?”

“Not really I haven’t been thinking of much. I have been trying to stay positive.”

“You haven’t been thinking about Drik either?”

“Not since we left the road side. Like I said I haven’t been thinking about much. Well, except how this is all the Coven fault. We wouldn’t be fighting for our freedom if they would have just done what they were supposed to do.”

“I never really liked the Coven. They always thought they were better than everyone else. I just don’t get their mind set. I mean I understand people are there to be protected, but at what cost. If my mom wasn’t part of the Coven, I think our lives would have been better. I’m just glad she isn’t a Coven leader.”

I laugh at that. I couldn’t see her mom ever been a Coven leader. She has a pure heart. “What did you tell your mom when you left?”

“Told her it was time for me to spread my wings and see the world. I love her dearly, but something had to give. I planned on leaving anyway. Even if I had to drag you with me. The Coven leaders just made it that more difficult. They need to learn to stay out of people’s lives. They don’t own us.”

I let out a snort. I have never heard her talk ill about the leaders before. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that way. “It’s for the better. I hope anyway. I mean they brought this on themselves. They should have known I would never let them use me. I went against them every chance I got.
