The Division of Two Worlds

I HAD TO WARN HER! That was the only thought racing through my mind. My clan wanted to attack her today, and my best friend would be leading the assault. If Natalie were to live, then she would have to leave before the afternoon. I had told James that I would join the fight when I had had some time to meditate in the woods, alone. He bought my lie. He didn’t have a reason not to believe me.

I vanished into the woods and ran toward the city through tree branches and wild thorn bushes. I sought to find her as my dark energy erupted, a red aura covering my entire being. If someone saw a ball of fire beaming through the woods, it would be me, the element of fire. I pushed past my limits, triggering 10 percent of my dema.

My clan more than likely sensed the rise in my power as I ran through the woods—which were why I had to find Natalie, if she still were in Blackfalls, and get her the hell out of this town before she was beheaded.

I slowed down when I came to the highway and leaped across the four-lane road. Several cars honked at me as I sprinted past them and into downtown. I sweated. I breathed heavily as I went from building to building, not caring if anyone saw me. Keeping the Covenant discreet wasn’t a concern. Natalie was the only thing that mattered. She was my friend, and I was going to protect her.

Minutes later, I arrived on campus. My dema settled down and I could feel my eyes shift back to normality. I didn’t want anyone to notice me while I searched the campus for the Awakened Reborn.

I began to walk down the west end, looking for any girl who resembled her, not counting on my ability to detect her scent. I scrambled from one group of students to the next. So far, there was no sign of her.

I even began to look within various classroom windows, thinking I would barge in and take Natalie out by force. I peeked through the door window of three different rooms. She wasn’t there. Then I marched back to the west end and toward the Manchester Library. She could be on the other side of campus, by the east end—or maybe she wasn’t even here yet.

It was nearing the afternoon and the chances of her leaving Blackfalls began to dwindle with each minute. Then I remembered something she told me when we first met: “Tristan, I love to read. I love books, and I spend most of my time in the Manchester Library studying.” That was it! She had to be in the library. There was no time to lose as I began to pace my steps into the massive building.

The Manchester Library was cold. The air conditioner must have been turned up really high. At least the cold would calm my nerves and help settle my dema.

“Where the hell are you?” I wonder aloud, looking from one wooden desk to the next.
