Chapter Fourteen

“What do you mean he was the one that got away?” I looked at Roman skeptically.

“I mean that the guy Marty was talking about is one of the psychopaths that tried to kidnap you for their cult.” He said.

“How could you possibly know that?” I asked him.

He was looking really worried and I found it hard not to believe him. “Because I’m the one who made the cut on his face.”

Raising my eyebrows I looked at him. “And how did you do that?”

He looked a little sheepish. “I punched him, and I didn’t realize that I still had my keys in my hand.”

I processed his words, anxiety and excitement twisting in my stomach.

The Elementals were after the book, and the same one who had jumped both Emi and I had stuck around after their attack to try and procure it.

It had to be more than just a coincidence. It all must have been connected to the fifth element, to me and my powers.

“How did you even know that they were Elementals anyway?” I asked.

Roman looked at me as if he knew that I was trying to prolong the conversation.

“Mr. Carlisle said that Elementals each bore a symbol of an element branded on them. There was a fire symbol tattoo on his collarbone; I saw it in the fight. Now please can we just go?” He held a pleading tone in his voice.

“Fine, we can go,” I sighed. “But we have to talk about this when we’re home. I want every detail of what happened during the fight. And I mean every detail.”

He nodded in acceptance, eager to get out of here.

He must be really shaken, I thought. I cringed internally; I had been focusing on me and Emi, but I had never thought about how it must have felt for him having to see us get attacked and fighting them off.

We rushed to the cars, I jumping into my jeep, sighing in happiness as I sunk into the soft leather seat and watch Roman sliding into his shiny black impala. I paused to admire it.

I had always loved American muscle cars and it would have definitely been my first choice, had it been an option at the time, although I don’t think I could ever part ways with my beautiful jeep, I had to admit he had really good taste.

I drove as quickly as possible, most likely breaking a few speed limits and earning myself more than one ticket, with Roman right behind me, and we had reached the old stone house within fifteen minutes, I say house but really it was a small mansion.

We parked and rushed into the large Victorian styled house as fast as we could. As we climbed up the stairs to my room, my mom came into view at the bottom of the staircase.

“Alex,” she called. “Could you come down here please?”

“I’m kind of busy mom,” I called back. “Can it wait?”

My mother folded her arms and looked at me. “Alexia, come down here. Now.
