forty-five more minutes on ours,” Clarisse says, motioning to our little group that needed to use them already. “It’s the same thing for all of them, so this fireball one is only good for an hour, and I know there is trouble lurking beyond our vision in that tunnel.” She looks deep into the tunnel as if she can see what’s down there.
That makes me wonder about the déjà vu that she had earlier in the tunnel that saved our lives. I wonder if it’s a different kind of premonition- one that will guide us on more than this mission. But that is to discuss with her, Alana, and I- alone. No one else needs to know about this until we know what we are dealing with.
“Okay, let’s take the invisibility potion now and half of us take the fire one now; the other half will take them a little later. That way we hopefully won't be caught off-guard without any powers.”
They nod and I see Yashira give Wyatt her potion while he takes his own. She must not want to try it because she trusts him enough with her life and safety to give it up to him. Justin, Eva, Jorge, and Sean take theirs; the rest of us save them. But if I see a need for it I’ll take my ice one. I only brought three of those, one for me and one for Sebastian- the third I dropped on a Demon's head earlier.
“Okay, I'm invisible now,” Clarisse says. Everyone else either takes theirs as well or just turns the invisibility on. We start walking down the tunnel and I immediately regret not taking my fireball potion. It is really dark in here... pitch-black dark. Even with my Wolf sight it is hard to see. I would have used the fire to light the way even though I shouldn’t because it would give away our location. We follow along the wall so we know when it turns- nobody needs to smack into a wall at this point.
I think I see a glimpse of a light up ahead but it vanishes before I can confirm it. I am getting worried now; I feel very on edge as we get closer to where I saw the light flicker. I notice that Yashira isn’t invisible anymore and I look over to find that her whole group isn’t holding their invisibility. I stop and feel the others stop, too. When I look around I notice that I, too, am not holding my invisibility. “That light...” I say. I look at the others and they all seemed to understand; they saw the light, too.
“Uh, guys...” Clarisse says, panic coming through her voice. “We have company- and if this is like my dream we have no powers, not even with the potions!” she finishes, backing up into me.
Sebastian, Justin, Eva, Jorge, and I stand in front of all of them. I transform enough so that I won't lose my clothes but enough to show that I’m not just a Witch. The others do the same- except Sebastian. I guess that he doesn't want me to get into fight with no powers to help me.
To my surprise, Alana walks up to us! My first instinct is to run to her and hug her, but Sebastian catches my thoughts and stops me before I can even move a muscle. “It’s an illusion! You see what you want to see, not what is really there, until you force yourself to realize the illusion for what it is! Do you understand what I’m saying?” he asks me. I nod but Alana is still there and I can’t shake the feeling that she needs me.
“It’s not her! Let your Wolf take over- She will see this Demon for what it is; it will shake the illusion that is in place.” I notice that the Wolves are stopping the rest of the group from running to her, too, and to my surprise Wyatt is helping as well. He grew up around all of this Demon shit- he can probably recognize it instantly.
I close my eyes and concentrate. I let my Wolf take over. She surfaces to the top- just enough for me to keep control of my human shape. When I open my eyes I see the Demon that I thought was Alana. This is no ordinary Demon, though: it looks like a human with bright green eyes, but luckily the eyes are the only thing that gives away the fact that he is, in fact, a Demon. The green
