From the Shadows

Chapter . 5

"Run." I say. He was here, I should've known. I knew I was seeing his shadow hounds following me.

I don't know how where going to leave this place without getting killed by Dmitri but we had to try.

"I'm going to open the door,"

"NO!" Said Vincent sternly.

"I'm opening the door," I repeated. " I led him here but whatever happens promise me the both of you will run as soon as I open that door. It was nice meeting you Jordan. Vincent carry her on your back and Jordan hold your breath, Vincent was always a runner."

Jordan nods unable to speak. She was the most scared, she was also the youngest. She has so much to learn so much to experience.

I slowly approach the door but I stop suddenly as a heat a creak. "What are you doing?! Get back on the bed." I demand as I notice Vincent trying to approach the door.

"Like you said I'm fast so if anyone can get away from whatever's at the door it's me."

"JUST OPEN THE DOOR!" Yells Jordan quickly covering her mouth right after. She gave me and Vincent a "sorry" look.

I nod to acknowledge her and I step quickly towards the door and open it only to find an antique watch on the ground. "What the hell?" I say to myself.

"Wha...what's wrong?" Asked Jordan looking even more worried.

"There's nothing here, it's just a watch." I say picking it off the ground and turning around to show it to Vincent and Jordan.

"Hmm, let me see." says Vincent. I hand it to him and observe his facial expressions. the one he has right now is somewhere between Sherlock trying to solve a mystery and a very focused cow.

"Well what is it?" Asks Jordan very anxiously.

"It's a watch."

"No duh Sherlock."

I chuckle I can tell Jordan and Vincent have an amazing relationship.

"Well it's a watch but it has a space under the numbers. If you look closely there's a small space between the numbers and the edge of the watch. I really want to see what's under there but I don't want to break the watch."

"Oh please Vincent stop being so gentle it's a watch. We need to figure out what's under there." I say snatching the watch from his hands. "Jordan can you somehow control water to make it go inside of the watch and push off the glass?"

"Of course I can." She says as I hand over the watch.

"Well gee thanks friends for giving me a chance." Says Vincent making a hilarious facial expression.

"Be right back." says Jordan walking into the bathroom.

"I can tell you too are good friends." I say to Vincent.

"Yeah well we've been through a lot together. Looks like you have some competition." He says jokingly.

"She might be a mermaid but you know you love me." I say back.
