Chapter Two: Tricky Tricky

“Why do we always have to find the damn creatures searching for rescue?” Helen asked as she drove the SUV toward downtown Harrisville. “I mean, it’s bad enough we are out in the middle of nowhere, let alone these things coming into town itself. It scares the people.” Helen wasn’t much for the search and rescue missions. Not that I blamed her; I would have preferred the whole seek and destroy method myself.

“The place is hidden. They wouldn’t know where to look in the first place. All they know is that the stories said that the Wardens were here,” Krista said sweetly.

The girl never sounded forlorn or angry. She always saw things positively. I admit it got annoying at times but then I would look at her and realize she’d been dead for eighteen years. If I was resurrected I would probably find the good in everything too.

“I know you are right,” Helen said flatly. “That doesn’t mean that I want you to remind me how right you are.” She pulled the SUV to the side of the road and got out.

“HELP!” The voice was shrill and coming from our left. We took off running till we came up beside an old station wagon. A woman was in the back seat holding on to a bleeding young man.

“What happened?” I asked since I was the first one to the car. I might not have had wings but I was blessed with the ability of speed, a new development might I add.

“We were attacked,” the woman cried, her violet eyes shimmering in the moonlight. This alone was enough of an indication to tell me that they were weres or a shifter of some sort. I had learned from the many allies that you can tell a creature by their eyes.

“What attacked you?” I asked, lighting a flame in my hand to get a better look at the boy.

“A dark man, he shot my boy.” She wept as I searched for the wound. I groaned when I found it. A clean shot through the torso.

“Silver?” I asked her, and her eyes widened. She recognized that I had noticed her eyes and she blinked several times.

“I don’t know what it was,” she stammered. One would think the fact I had flames licking the flesh on my hand would speak that I wasn’t human. Still she seemed shocked that I had figured out what she and the young man were.

“All right. How old is he?” I asked, trying to figure out what was going on. The other two had arrived and were watching me curiously.

“Fifteen,” she cried. The boy gave out a whimper, he was in so much pain.

“Helen, can you drive this woman to the house and have my mother take a look at the boy’s wounds? Get his mom some food—they look like they haven’t eaten in days,” I said, looking at the brunette behind me. She gave me a sour face but when the boy cried out again she raced around to the driver’s side of the car and got in.
