43. Skye. Plan

“Jarrod – do something against the village?” Skye felt scared but confused. “Why would you think that?”

“He tried to get me to go with him. Not like that,” Morgan assured. “He just...asked.” Morgan’s face softened in bemusement for a second, then tightened again. “He hinted it wouldn’t be safe to be in the village. Do you have any idea what he might have been getting at? Like, could they send, I don’t know – a tidal wave or something?”

“Maybe,” Skye shivered at the thought. “I don’t know much about them to be honest. The whole of the village would drown if they did, that’s for sure. But maybe they could send something...or someone. Maybe they’re thinking of coming ashore?” Old imagined fears returned in force. “Everything changed when Hunter saved me. Jarrod can cross their boundary. Maybe...maybe they all can? Maybe they’re coming?” the image was horrifying.

“I’ve got a plan,” Morgan said. “I don’t know if I’m right about this, but I got the strong impression that Jarrod and the others were kind of scared of Hunter.”

Skye nodded. “Yes, they are. Hunter has powers the others don’t have. Only problem is, he doesn’t know how to control them.”

“Kind of a problem,” Morgan frowned. “But it’s a start. If they’re scared of what he can do, he could slow them down. Or at least find out exactly what they have planned. Maybe we could evacuate the village?”

“Right, like that would work. Imagine trying to convince this lot that Skye Sebastian thinks they should evacuate because some fictional beings might come and seduce them into drowning.” She didn’t roll her eyes, she was too scared for that, but the idea of explaining to the village was too ludicrous to ever work.

“You’re right,” Morgan rubbed her forehead. “But we have to do something. I know I’m right about Jarrod having some weapon aimed right at us. I think we have to find Hunter, and figure out what’s going on, and try to stop it from happening.”

Morgan’s cellphone rang. “Hey Amber,” Morgan answered the call, surprise in her voice. “What’s up? No, I haven’t. Hang on? I’ll ask her.” Morgan put the phone on speaker, “Amber wants to know if you’ve seen Jasmine or Harvey.”

“Uh...” Skye tried to drag her thoughts away from the macabre to the mundane. “Yeah, I saw them on the beach today.” She leaned forward, raising her voice a little, “After school, after you dropped me off at Bliss, Amber. A few of us went to the beach. We all left at the same time...” she thought back to that afternoon. They’d all left because...

Suddenly the mundane was entirely consumed by thoughts of the Nemaro again. One in particular. And the drugged look of an addict sensing a fix that she’d failed to identify on Harvey’s face. Harvey, who had lingered, staring at the water even while Jasmine tried to persuade him to leave. Her stomach churned. She had the sudden certainty she knew exactly where they were, or at least, who they were with.
