Chapter 11: Runaway

Mother and daughter rushed upstairs, Ellie in front, quietly sobbing. They argued for a while, Kim trying to convince Ellie to stop packing her things and not leave home and Ellie throwing harsh words in return. It didn’t look like Ellie was going to be placated or convinced to stay. She was definitely leaving the house.

Tonight.

In the next short minutes…

So I tried something, something I never thought I would need to even consider, but now the situation more than called for it. Focusing on Amber’s mind, I worked on layering her lens with enough ink to make her think that Ellie never existed. It was no use simply making the girl physically invisible to the psychic, as that would alert them all about something being wrong. That’s why I hadn’t bothered shielding Ellie from her bodyguards.

Now however, tearing her away from the witch’s radar was just the ticket.

As Ellie continued to hurl accusations and curses at her mother, and Kim tried to apologise to no avail, I suddenly felt cold. Well, I didn’t feel the nearby barrier of heat anymore. Tentatively, I stuck out my hand and felt for the warm magical partition that had been there only moments ago. Huh, I thought to myself. There was nothing but summer night air.

The magic was gone.

Completely.

Was I that quick? That good? So gifted that Amber had dropped the powerful protection spell she had around the street? Of course she had! Why would she be casting and maintaining such spells when the person she wanted to protect them with didn’t even exist? Wow, I complimented myself. I was better than I thought.

“You’re not leaving home!” Kim screamed, delivering me from my smug thoughts.

“I can’t stay in this house anymore,” Ellie shouted back. Their voices came closer to the door and I instinctively tightened the shield around me, concentrated harder on the blind-spot I’d thrown on Amber’s mind and memory.

Ellie rushed out of the door with a backpack and I felt a thrill as I saw her.

“Come back,” called her mother from their doorstep, crying furiously while her husband put his arms around her, restraining her from running after Ellie.

“Its okay, Kim,” Jake said to his half-hysterical wife. “Let her stay with a friend for a bit, she’ll calm down eventually. She’ll come home when she’s ready.”

“Never,” Ellie retorted and ran straight into my path.

Backing away, I walked amongst the shadows as I followed Ellie out of her street. She was heading towards the neighbourhood I’d made my spy-headquarters. Good thing, since my bike was parked in that vicinity.

It was then that I noticed her two guards. How could I forget they had someone watching the house at night too? They had been sitting inside a car on the opposite street and as soon as they saw their charge, they exited their vehicle and began to follow Ellie on foot, keeping their distance.

Normally, that would have left me feeling annoyed and frustrated, but knowing how easily I’d fooled a powerful witch like Amber, I hardly put much effort into blocking out Ellie from these watchers’ knowledge.
