Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 35 : connection

Amelie's POV

I woke to find Cat snoring loudly in the bed next to mine, and I heard the shower running. My mind was racing... where was I? Who was in the shower? Why was Cat here? And then I remembered.

When people talk about forgetting things and then remembering and thinking 'oh,' but nothing more than that? Well, when everything came flushing back to me all my hurt and pain, I felt it all again. I felt tears threatening to spill and I pulled myself together.

I got up and knocked on the bathroom door.

"hey Macy!" I screamed, and heard her yelp inside. "stop taking a shower and come with me! I need to talk to Jamie!"

I heard some scuffling and swearing and then Macy came out, dressed in a little purple sundress that looked so cute, but her face read 'i-will-kill-you'. I laughed.

"I have to talk to him too," Macy sighed. "he said such a weird thing to me last night - 'you passed'. What the hell did he mean?"

"he said the exact same thing to me," I gulped. "that's what I need to talk to him about. Hey, maybe it's something private?"

"why did he tell us then?"

"ur... I don't know," I blushed, feeling stupid. She smiled. "what are we waiting for? Ok, let's go!"

I followed her out of the room and she led me down a hallway, and then she frowned, looking left and right.

"um... do you know where he will be?"

I shrugged.

Damien's POV

"anyway, Jamie, the point is that mother can't figure out how the keep the west route under control, they just keep-"

I stopped, as did Jamie, and sniffed. A smell like honey filled my nose, and I sniffed again. Then I pricked my ears and heard two heartbeats.

"what the-" Jamie sniffed. "human's?"

On instinct we both ran, down the hallway, and I listened out for the heartbeats. We gradually got closer, and I ran faster. Why were there humans in the castle? The only humans that should be here were the potentials - but why would they be wondering around so early?

I ran round a corner and heard the heartbeats as close as they could get. I saw two figures, and slammed one into the wall by the neck, as Jamie did the other.

Amelie's POV

The blow to my head took my breath away. We'd been wondering through hall after hall for at least half an hour, looking, and we hadn't once caught any sent - and now here they were, holding us by our necks. Wait a second... what the-

Jamie's face filled with realisation as he instantly dropped Macy, who fell to the ground and took in a sharp breath. Damien let his grip go slightly, and my feet touched the ground. I sighed and wondered why he still hadn't let go.

His eyes ran down my body, and I shivered feeling bare. What if he had ex ray vision or something? Scary.

Then I remembered. Why hadn't Macy told me to get dressed? I looked down at my nightgown and my face flushed as Macy giggled. I glared at her.

"geez Macy, didn't know you were that mad."

"it was just as joke, A-6," she gulped. I realised how close she'd been to saying my name and getting hurt, and now I was going to get hurt, because I'd said her name.
