The Hunted [Book Two]

Chapter 17 (Jordan)

"Callie your not trying!" I mock.

"Jordan you shouldn't be talking," Callie retorts, "I mean it's not like you have limits too," she continues, I grin. Then to prove my point I jump myself so i'm behind her, in response Callie just looked annoyed, "yea yea I get it." she replied shrugging,

"C'mon Callie you'll never learn long range if your not trying" Olive remarks, Callie rolls her eyes, 

"I give up, this is pointless."  she says,

"What part of try and fireball me do you not get?" Olive asks again.

"The part where I don't get how to do it." Callie retorts, her fire slowly getting larger as her anger continues to get greater and greater, "there's no point!" Callie practically yells, "Whether you two will admit it or not I will never-" she pauses, and looks Olive directly in the eye, "Okay let's do this." she says smiling, I grin, Callie never gives up that easily, I watch Callie put a flaming hand out towards Olive, Callie closes her eyes and I get ready to jump, just in case anything goes wrong. I walk a little closer to Olive to try to see what's happening. In the palm of her hand a tiny little ball of fire starts to form. 

"HEY GUYS!" someone screams from the complete side of the building, we all turn, including Callie-who accidentally sends a tiny ball of fire spiraling out of control somewhere random, she scowls and crosses her arms, Lyssa approaches us slowly followed by Chris, Lyssa looks pale, like really pale, 

"Great!" Callie exclaims "what now?" she asks again,

"Lillie's not at her house, she wasn't at school, she wasn't at my house!" Lyssa exclaims, talking way to fast for a normal human being, "and then to make matters worse I had another vision, and and-" I cut her off, 

"Okay Lyssa you need to slow down and take a breath" I tell her. She takes a deep breath in and slowly breaths back out.

"Lillie wasn't at school today." Lyssa says again, I motion for her to continue, "then when I went to her house she wasn't there either, and at school I had another vision." she finished and I thought for a long time, I had an idea.

"I could jump around and see if I can find her?" I suggested, Lyssa shrugged.

"I don't care what you do but please find her," Lyssa pleads, 

"Do you know where she might have gone?" I ask, "because if we know where she could have gone we could search that area," I continue, 

"Don't forget." Olive says, "there's one of her and five of us we'll find her." Olive continues, trying to calm the mood

"Not true." Callie says disagreeing with all of us, I look at her with a confused expression hoping that she gets the memo. She just looks back at me and continues her train of thought, "Everyone think logically" she continues "your right by saying there's five of us, but there's not just her. Mack could have set us up." Callie sighs "so along with Lillie there's Tava, Eve, and Mack." so that's four to five now, not to mention, whoever else is on Mack's side." Callie stops talking pretty much putting us all into perspective. I look at Lyssa who looks like she's going to break down in tears in no time at all, instead Lyssa sits down on the floor and puts her head in her hands, I walk over and sit next to her,

"Are you okay?" I ask lightly tapping her on the shoulder, she doesn't respond, I tap her again harder this time and she looks at me,

"What?" she asks.

"Nothin'" I reply. "I'm going to go jump around and see if I can find anything." I say to no one. Then I jump myself somewhere and look around, I am in someones front yard I walk up to the front door and knock, someones answers and they look confused,

"Can I help you?" they ask,

"Sorry I'm just looking for a girl named Lillie, do you know her?" I ask again, inside I was secretly hoping for a yes, the woman raises an eyebrow, "do you?" I ask again, 

"I'm Lillie's mother." the woman says.
