rang and went to voicemail. Vinnie doesn’t
have a cell phone. I thought about calling Ruby, but I was going to give it
another day.”
“Is it like them to just miss school?”
“Not Vinnie, Allison misses quite a
bit sometimes.”
“Would you show me their house
after school? I’d like to check on them.”
Jane was listening to their
conversation from her locker.
Allison blinked and found herself
staring at the television once again. Her first thought was happiness. Sam had
called her cell phone to check on them. Maybe their friendship could be
repaired after all. That feeling of triumph and hopefulness was soon replaced
by a sense of dread that crept into her chest and stomach. Adam knew they were
gone. He was playing some angle with Sam, and Allison did not like it. She had
to know more. She shut her eyes and concentrated on bringing back the vision.
Instead of Sam or Adam, she saw
Jane standing in the girl’s bathroom with two of her cheerleader clones.
“He comes onto Allison which is
strange enough. I guess some guys might find her attractive in an alternative
sort of way, but now he’s after that weird girl Sam?”
“Maybe he’s scared of pretty
girls,” one of the cheerleaders suggested.
“I’m going to follow them after
school and when he tries to make a move on Sam, not only am I going to confront
him about it, but I’m also going to tell Allison.”
“Why?” One of the other girls
asked.
“So that Allison won’t have
anything to do with him, and then maybe, he will start paying attention to me
like he should have in the first place.”
“You’re so smart, that’s why you’re
the head cheerleader.”
This was all Allison could see
before she was back to her reality. Her nose was bleeding and her head was
pounding. She wiped away the blood and ignored the pain. Allison had to push
through it and find out more, it was the only way. She cleared her mind and
closed her eyes, concentrating once again.
Sam and Adam were walking on a
sidewalk, with Jane, behind them, trying to be subtle. They were on a familiar
side road leading to the trailer park. A van slowed down and the door opened. A
man reached out and grabbed Sam before she could stop it from happening. Adam
turned and grabbed Jane. In an instant, he jumped into the van with her in his
arms. The girls struggled and yelled while the men began to restrain them with
rope and duct tape.
“Why are you doing this?” Jane
asked, her voice more shrill than usual.
“I needed bait. I was just going to
take Sam, but you had to be nosy,” Adam said.
“So take her and let me go. I
promise I won’t say anything.”
Sam looked at Jane with wide eyes,
unable to form words. Jane did not seem to feel shame or remorse for what she
had said.
“What? There’s no reason we should
both die.”
Adam stared at Jane for a minute,
and Allison wondered if he was considering her proposition.
“Wow, it’s no wonder Allison can’t
stand you,” Adam said.
The vision became blurry, and then
was gone. Allison stood up though she was weak from forcing visions to come.
She was light headed, but she ignored it and walked to Cain, who was driving
the RV.
“We have to go back right now,” she
told him.
“Back where?”
“Mason Springs. I had a vision.”
Ruby and Vinnie were behind her,
listening to her words.
“They took two girls.” She turned
to Vinnie, “They have Sam and Jane.”
“Why?” Vinnie asked.
“So that I would come to them.”
“If you go back, you’ll be giving
them what they want. You know it’s a trap,” Vinnie said.
“He’s right. Your mother was strong
and trained, but they were still too much for her,” Ruby said.
“It doesn’t matter. We have to help
them. I can’t just look the other way when I know they’re in danger.”
“You must care a lot about your
friends if you’re willing to risk your life for them,” Cain said.
“Well, I care about Sam. Jane, not
so much, but I still can’t
have a cell phone. I thought about calling Ruby, but I was going to give it
another day.”
“Is it like them to just miss school?”
“Not Vinnie, Allison misses quite a
