Chapter Seven: The Chase

“Wake up!”

A hand shook me. I didn't want to wake up. I wanted to stay in blissful unconsciousness. But the darned hand kept shaking me. I opened my eyes. Sunlight filtered through the shattered windshield. I lay against the passenger door, my arm dangling out the window. It had completely shattered. Bits of pebbly, broken glass sprinkled across my clothes and hair.

“What?” I asked.

Vanessa shook me. Her blonde hair was matted with blood. “We need to move.”

The accident shot back to me. “We lived?”

“Yes. So we have to keep going. It'll take them a while to get down here. We need to use that time to put distance between them and us.”

“Right.” I groaned. I was so exhausted. Casting the protection spell that saved our lives took a lot out of me.

The cop car was half on its side, wedged between a pair of boulders. Vanessa kicked out the windshield, pushing the cracked glass to the side and crawled out. “Come on,” she shouted.

I pulled off my seat belt. My chest ached. I ignored the fatigue and pain, forcing myself to stand on the seat so I could crawl out of the destroyed cop car. The hood was crumpled. Sickly-sweet steam hissed out the front grill, the radiator fluid cooking on the hot engine block. I dropped to the ground and almost fell over.

I looked up the cliff. I could barely make out flashing lights high over head through the thick trees. A path of broken branches and a shattered tree led back to the cliff face. I gaped, shaking my head. “We survived that?”

“You're a powerful witch.” Vanessa grunted and opened the trunk. “I have a survival kit in here.” She pulled out an orange pack. “I lost my rifle. It must have flown out the window while we were bouncing around down the cliff.”

“Where do we go?”

“No idea. I've never been in this part of the mountains before. We have a few hours of daylight. I say we hike that way. It's north. We can descend out of the foothills, maybe hit Meyersville or Dillon. I have friends who can help hide us while we figure things out.”

“How far is that?”

“A long walk.” Vanessa pushed her emergency kit into a backpack. She tied a pair of blankets to the bottom and slung it over her back. “Can you hide our trail? Scent and all? When they get down here, they'll run us down.”

“I'm not sure,” I said. “I'm wiped out.”

“You need to try.”

I nodded. “Let me think.” I rubbed at my temple. The beginnings of a headache pounded at the corners.

“I have Tylenol in the glove box.” Vanessa dived back into the wrecked car as I struggled to think. How could I hide our trail? It would have to be a combo spell, spirits of Life to devour our scent and spirits of Earth to conceal our footprints.

I hoped I had the power to cast this.

Vanessa returned with the Tylenol and handed me a bottle of water.
