The words still swirling around in her head, from her uncle. What did he mean, they were after her? Why do they want her and Blaine? How could this be happening now? She abruptly hung up with Danny, and began to look around suspiciously. Everything seemed quiet, until from the top balcony she heard a man yell…
There she is, Get her!
She looked up to see a barrage of men in black suits invading the upper level by the poker room, and one man pointing in her direction. She began to panic, running into the back room finding the closest bathroom to barricade herself in. She slammed the door, putting her back against it, trying to give herself some more time. The lights began to flicker in the small room and the yelling outside the door began to intensify. ¨What am I going to do?¨ she thought, her hands cradling her face in her lap. Just then the lights suddenly shut off. It was now pitch black, and she had nowhere to go. She remembered there was a wooden slab used to prop open the door so it wouldn't slam from the wind. She dragged her hand along the wall frantically trying to find it. As her hand grazed the wall, she sighed with relief wrapping her fist around the wooden stake.
She pressed her ear against the door. Listening for any signs of the attackers nearby. She closed her eyes, and began to visualize the perimeter around her. Her powers were not as strong as she had hoped, a work in progress she had been trying to perfect. She couldn't see faces, but could make out shadows.
¨Focus¨ she whispered to herself
In the darkness of her mind she could see an outline of the casino, she could visually see where each of the men had placed their location. She knew she was in the clear, at least for now. The lights being off worked in her favor, not theirs. She slowly cracked the door open, an exit sign looming on the back wall, was the only light she had, barely enough light to see her steps, as it lit the way she needed to go. She slowly tiptoed around the corner. She knew there was a guard waiting for her, she took the handle of the wood slab into her shaking hands. As she went to turn the corner bracing herself, Emmalyn came running around in tears.
Emmalynne:” Katarina, what's going on… there's scary men out there looking for you¨ she said frightened with tears rolling down her face
Katarina kept trying to quiet her, to not give away their position.. But Emmalynne, not getting the hint, kept getting louder and louder. Katrina, wrapped her hand around Emmalynnes mouth dragging her back into the closet.
Katarina;¨”Em, I will remove my hand but you need to stay quiet. I Know this doesn't make any sense to you, it barely makes any sense to me; but if they hear you they will kill me. So you need to just trust me ...can you trust me?
Emmalynne nodded in understanding of what Katarina was saying. The both looked at each other as Katarina signaled Emmalynn to fall behind her. Emmalynne grabbed Katarinas hand, Katarina still armed; they began to make their way to the exit. Katarina abruptly stopped, grabbing the wooden plank and swinging hard at the soldier that had crept up behind them, knocking him to the ground. Both girls let out a scream, Emmalynne staring at Katarina, Katarina in shock. Both girls snapped back into reality, as gunshots were heard from the front of the casino. Emmalynne grabbed Katarinas hand as they ran as fast as they could towards the exit barrelling through the doors, gunshots heard in the background. Racing to her pink Audi, they both get in, Katarina fumbling for the keys…
Emmalynne: ¨Hurry, Hurry, they are coming….¨” she said frantically as she go the engine to start and they sped off She watched the soldiers firing rounds as she headed down Main street
Emmalynne looked over at Katarina who was staring straight out the window, hands shaking at the wheel.
Emmalynne: SO what in the everloving hell was that? Why were those men after you? How did you know the guy was behind us?? What is going on KAT?? She yelled
Katarina sighs, looking around, tears coming from her eyes
Katrina: I wish i could tell you everything Emm, but it would only put you in danger..and frankly i am not even sure i understand everything
Emmalynne looking confused
Emmalynne: Can you tell me anything?
Katarina, still shaken, looked at Emmalynne.
Katarina: Well, I'm not what you think I am. My father, whom I never met, was genetically modified, giving him certain abilities. My brother Blaine and I were born with special abilities ourselves. Im only beginning to truly understand any of it, from what my mother had written about in her journals.
Emmalynne trying to take in what Katarina was saying raised her left eyebrow
Emmalynne: A..A...Ability? She said hesistating
Katarine: “ Yes, i can tell the future..kind of, it is how I knew George was going to his the jackpot, and how I knew that soldier was going to attack us.¨
Emmalynne: I knew it! She exclaimed I know there was something up your sleeve Kat.¨
Katarina:¨ The problem is, the government, and my uncle were never fans of this and now they have my brother. I need to go see my uncle and figure out what I need to do to get Blaine back. I'll bring you home on the way.
Emmalynne slammed her hand on the dashboard
Emmalynne: Oohhh Noo...I don`t think so, I will be joining you on this trip. Always wanted to meet the infamous ¨Úncle Danny..
The girls would be heading to Danny's. Life as Katarina knew it was over and she would be embarking on the world of darkness, her father had hoped to defeat. She would study her mothers journals learning all she could about her father, trying to understand who he was and who she could become. Her journey, was just beginning, and her focus now was on getting her brother back.
There she is, Get her!
