Although he could be quite deadly! I'm from the same place as
the person that I mentioned earlier, and do not say her name here! It is
dangerous to speak of her because he was there and that means they know about
the both of you.” she held up a hand indicating they should wait before asking
anything else.
"I am really sorry but that's all I can say
for now. I get that you're pretty pissed at me right now, I do. I assure you
this is all for your own good." Nia and Aaron exchanged uncomfortable
glances as Avery turned and looked out the window.
Aaron reached forward and brushed Nia's side by
the driver side door, she felt a calming warmth radiate from his touch and took
a deep breath. Reaching back, Nia grabbed his hand, gave it a squeeze then put
her hand back on the wheel. She wasn’t alone and that was a comfort even if it
was a small one.
They were finally pulling into their destination.
"Wait in here for me and lock the doors, I
mean it! I will be right back." Avery slipped out of the car and
disappeared into the shadows of the awning that looked unsafe attached to this
particular warehouse.
Nia turned to Aaron and asked, "So did you
have a... weird dream?”
Aaron thought for a moment then bit his lip and
answered, "Yes. What about you?"
Nia let out a sigh. "Yup and I got this.”
she said showing him the blue stoned bracelet.
He met her eyes and put his wrists between the
seats, "I woke up with these."
She grabbed his wrists and rubbed the beautiful
designs there. Nia laid her hand over each one noticing the peculiar hum the
gesture elicited.
"Aaron I think we just need to stick
together. Whatever this all is or whatever it means, you're the only thing I'm
certain of right now.” she explained as she nervously contemplated her next
statement. "I've known I was different nearly all my life and I have no
idea what it has to do with you. But I feel a lot safer with you here with me.”
she squeezed his hand and Aaron offered an assuring smile.
"I couldn't agree more about sticking
together and if we make it out of this mess in one piece, I promise to tell you
everything I know." he replied.
Avery came out of the shadows followed by a man
that was dressed similar to her. He had icy green eyes and brown hair that was
a little long for his military posture. He was tall from where she was seeing
him, he looked to be six two at least and he was broad and beefy.
"This is Darragh. He will take us to Lilly.
He's here to help too. Go ahead and pull the car inside.” Avery said closing
the door and stepping away while Darragh only nodded.
Driving
into the dark warehouse Nia parked her baby hoping it would be safe there.
Popping the trunk she went to look on as Avery pulled her things out and
Darragh helped. Then Nia and Aaron went to put their bags in. She and Aaron
checked their pockets for their phones. Aaron put his on silent and Nia
followed his lead. Pulling two knives out of his backpack he gave one to Nia
shrugging. They were concealed by the trunk while Avery and Darragh stood at
the front waiting.
Aaron hugged Nia to him, "Whatever happens I
promise to keep you safe.” he whispered in her ear.
"Thank you.” she replied then softly brushed
his ear with her lip.
This was all so crazy she can't be moving fast
with a guy she just met even though the zing that went through her said
otherwise. Nia would have to remember to put the brakes on if anything got out
of hand too quickly. The attraction she felt was so strong it scared her.
He shut the trunk and she locked up the car
setting the alarm then stuffed the keys deep into her pocket. They followed the
two black clad figures ahead of them. There was narrow beams of light shining
through the cracks of the run-down building. It was still daylight outside and
Nia was glad for it. All of this would have been a lot scarier in the dark.
