Chapter Six

Clayton spotted Jo just before she got back in the Range Rover.

“Jo,” Clayton touched her shoulder and Jo screamed as she spun around toward him.

“Oh my god, you scared me,” she was breathing hard and put a hand to her chest before bending over.

“Are you ok?” Clayton knelt down so he was face to face with her. He pushed the hair back from her face and rubbed his thumbs across her forehead and over her temples. “Shh,” he whispered in her ear.

Jo looked up at him, her breath beginning to finally slow and calm.

She paused and a question ran across her face.

“What is it?” Clayton pushed both of his hands back again, moving the hair away from her eyes.

“You…your eyes,” Jo stared into his eyes. “I think I need to sit down.”

“Why don’t you sit in the car,” Clayton lifted Jo from her elbow, “let’s get out of here.”

Jo obeyed without protest. She let him help her into the car, watched his body as he snapped her seatbelt into place, then watched him start the car and easily shift as they moved away along the streets that would lead them back to his house.

“Are you ok?” Clayton turned to Jo halfway through their ride. There had been something in her expression, something that made him think… but that was impossible.

Jo nodded but said nothing in response. His worry was overwhelming all of his other senses and Clayton felt he needed to test the waters and see just what it was his intuition was picking up on.

“Where did you go?” Clayton asked without turning to her. He watched the trees melt into one long green blur. Suddenly he felt that he needed fresh air, they both probably needed fresh air. He rolled down the top of his window.

“Where did I go? I went to the same place you went,” Jo said ignoring his second question.

Clayton felt his palms grow clammy, “I don’t think I understand.”

“Oh no, it’s me that doesn’t understand.” He could hear the hint of something unexpected in her voice and he wondered at it. If she really did know then shouldn’t she be running for her life? Shouldn’t she be screaming and running—jumping out of his car?

“But I am grateful,” her voice came low in almost sacred tones. “You saved my life.”

Clayton felt his heart beating heavily in his chest. He'd never told anyone. His parents had known, of course, it had come to him from his father's father. He'd been told his whole life that this secret, this thing, could turn him into a pariah, or a science experiment.

His grandfather had been killed by a hunter, his father had killed the hunter and was killed himself in the process. Clayton’s mother had lost her mind shortly after then simply slipped away.

It had been all too clear a sign of things to come if he let someone else in on his secret. If he fell in love, had children, tried to live a normal life, then he was bound to ruin other lives as well as his own.
