Chapter Sixteen

Willow landed with a thud, banging her head on something on the ground. Years of being joined with several Leanders, the cat like race of ancient beings, meant she had picked up a few of their traits including night vision, stealth, agility and she had always landed on her feet, at least before now. There had been no choice but to leap head first through the portal as the necrid flames engulfed the forest around them and even less time to worry about how she would land on the other side or what she would find. Rubbing her head she realized she had hit it on the book she had asked Clairity not to lose, 'The Portal Prophecies.' Without that book she never would have figured out how to escape in the first place. She looked up to see if the others were okay, but it wasn't a friend that greeted her.

A weapon, some form of a gun that she and Nathan had read about in one of the encyclopedias they had found, was pointed in her face. This day just wasn't going to end she thought to herself.

“Get up,” a male voice said.

Willow got to her feet. She staggered a bit, the bump on her head had made her dizzy. Looking at her captor she couldn't tell much other than he was a tall man. He wore a baseball cap that hid the features of his face from her.

“Turn around,” the man ordered.

Willow faced her back to the stranger, trying to search for signs of her friends who had come through the portal before her.

“Hi, I'm...”

The stranger cut her off, “Don't speak, we know about your kind and what you are looking for.”

“My kind? What kind?” she said.

“I said no speaking,” he repeated. “Now just walk over there and join the others you came with till we can figure out what you are doing here.”

“Might be easier to figure that out if I could talk.” she said under her breath, but loud enough that her captor could hear.

“Just shut up, okay? Don't get me mad,” he barked back.

“Okay, okay. Just saying, you can't know what we are doing here, if we are the only ones who know and you won't let us tell you.”

“Enough, I am not listening to your tricks,” he yelled.

'Real winner this one is,' Kiera said telepathically.

'Can you see him, what he looks like?' Willow asked in her mind.

'No, we can do a lot of things but seeing through a jacket isn't one of them,' Aslo answered.

'Right, forgot I was still wearing it,' she answered silently.

Ahead of her she could see the others now. They all seemed fine, at least for the moment. There were several men with guns keeping them in a line. She took the place beside her best friend, Clairity.

“Well this is much better,” Malarchy whispered.

“You could have stayed and fried in the flames, pretty sure I didn't twist your arm,” Willow whispered back. Malarchy and his daughter had little right to complain.
