CHAPTER 9

“Spencer? Are you okay?” Elijah whispered.

“He wants me,” Spencer said quietly, but loud enough for Elijah and his friends to hear. Then, he turned to them, asking, “You heard him, right? He wants me. I didn’t get that wrong. I mean... I heard him right... right?”

Nodding, Abe answered, “You heard him right, Spenc. Sounds like he has a lot of shit to get past, but he does want you.”

Elijah nodded. “He does. I heard him, too, but Spenc, it sounds like he’s fighting it like crazy.”

“And from what he said, he has good reason,” Petree whispered.

“Yeah,” Spencer said, letting out a deep breath. “I need to talk to him. I need to let him know I won’t get in the way of his duty. I need—”

“Oh, shit! Back up!” Bryant hissed, pushing them all, so that the men rushing from the room couldn’t see that they had been being spied on.

Spencer gripped Bryant’s shirt. “Where are they going? What’s going on?”

“I’m not quite sure. They were talking about a war and then they took off,” Bryant answered.

“We need to get to the command center,” Spencer said, turning left, then right.

“What? Why?” Elijah asked.

Spencer turned to Elijah and huffed, “Because I can’t let Throg know I was spying on him.”

“What are you doing?”

Spencer, Elijah, and Petree squeaked in surprise. Petree hissing, “Nug, that was a crappy thing to do.”

“Sorry. We saw you guys and wanted in on whatever it is you’re doing,” Nug answered.

“We’re looking for the quickest way to the command center. One way no one will catch us.” Spencer said hastily.

Jory quickly answered, “Follow me. I know a way.”

Spencer and the others quickly followed Jory to the kitchen area. People were working on the meals as they always did this time of the early morning. The Nakaka went into Nestling during the day. That was when they turned to stone and were the most vulnerable... unless you were mated and had the opportunity to go through the shedding. This was when the Nakaka were able to turn into their gargoyle at will. It was something many had not been able to experience, because they had only just started finding their Viatas once more.

“Jory, we said a place no one will catch us.” Elijah hissed.

“It’s fine. No one gives a crap at what we’re doing, and where I’m taking you it’s going to be fine. No one will see.” Jory said, making his way past the kitchen and into the pantry room. Once there he went to the far side and pressed a button. A small door opened and revealed what looked like a dumbwaiter. “Go ahead and get in. All you have to do is press whatever button you want and it will take you to that area.”

Spencer stepped forward, but Petree stopped him. “Spencer, I don’t know if that’s safe.”

“It is. I swear. I wouldn’t let Spencer or any of you go in there if it weren’t. Nug and I use it all the time and it takes both of us, so weight isn’t an issue,” Jory said assuredly.
