[08/It must be a tell]

-

Together the four of them made their way through the woods following Liam. They spent what felt like hours just walking around looking for the hole Liam apparently fell into. Out of nowhere Mason fell and disappeared into the ground. Desira turned around and stifled a laugh at the sophomore.

"Guys, I think Mason found it."

Liam heard the smile in her voice but could tell she was trying not to laugh. They walked over to where Mason had fallen.

"Do you see the necklace?" Brett asked looking down at the younger boy.

Mason pulled his cell phone out to use as a light and shoved the leaves around. After discovering nothing he looked up at the three and shook his head, "No, I don't see it."

"Liam, I thought you said this was a sinkhole; it's a hole," Mason continued after Brett pulled him out.

"What's the difference?" Liam asked clueless.

"I mean, look at all these handprints and look at all this dirt."

"She didn't fall in," Brett said as it dawned on them.

"She was buried," Desira said.

"Intense," Mason said which caused Desira to slap the back of his head.

Liam forced the three others to continue to examine the hole that they had thought Tracy was buried in. Desira stood a little a way staring intensely at the semi-grave. Something was giving her a bad feeling about it.

"Why isn't it here?" Liam asked with a tint of helplessness in his voice.

"She probably came back for it," Brett said.

"I don't think this is the one."

"What do you mean?"

"It was closer to the bridge, much closer. This is a different hole," Liam explained to Brett.

"Then who crawled out of this one?"

Desira - already annoyed - walked over then and jumped into hole. The boys gave her a weird look but she shrugged at them and lightly put her hand to the wall of the hole. Her eyes burned as they changed colors showing off the silver of her mancer powers. With furrowed brows she slowly moved her hand and sudden imagines flashed across her eyes. Desira abruptly pulled her now steaming hand away from the hole's walls.

"Dez?" She heard Liam ask concernedly, "Are you okay? What just happened?"

"Uh... nothing. Just guess it didn't want to cooperate with my powers," she said looking at her streaming hand.

Brett noticed a movement from her other hand. While she was speaking she'd been running her left thumb over her ring finger. It must be a tell, Brett thought praying she didn't hear - Liam had informed him on some of the things Desira could do. Seeing as she was preoccupied she must have not heard. Liam and Mason pulled her out and she stared down at the hole with an unreadable expression.

"Dez, are you okay?" Mason asked this time.

Her head snapped up and she put a smile on her face forgetting Brett was there.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Brett again noticed her hand movement. He nodded to himself knowing he was more likely right than wrong about the motion. Desira forced herself out of whatever kind of trace she was in and shook her hand out hoping to stop the steam.

"We should go find Scott and tell him about what we found," Liam suggested.

Desira nodded and grabbed both Liam's and Mason's biceps and pulling them to her. She gave the smallest smile ever known to mankind to Brett.

"Thanks for helping."

With that she spun of her heel and dragged the boys and few feet before a realization hit her. She could only fit one boy on her motorcycle with her. She turned to them with an abashed facial expression.

"I can only take one of you with me."

"Liam can go with you, you two are going to the same place anyways," Mason said smiling.

"Brett! Can you do me a favor and take Mason home? And I mean straight home. No matter how much he protests," Desira asked and glared at Mason mentally daring him to challenge her.

Brett smiled lightly and nodded his head. Desira gave a relieved smile and her shoulders loosen a bit - not much but they did loosen up.

"Thank you! And Mason, be good please I actually enjoy your existence, don't make me regret it."

Mason smiled and held his hands up in mock surrender. Desira smiled her insignificant smile again spun around again taking Liam with her. They walked up to her motorcycle and Desira mentally thanked God she brought her extra helmet, her intuition had seemed exceptionally good recently. Together Liam and Desira got on the bike and Desira handed Liam the black helmet. She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Scott.

New message to:
ScottTheRobot

Where are you at? Liam and I have something you might want to hear.

New message from:
ScottTheRobot

Hospital. Lydia got hurt. Hurry here.

Desira didn't reply but instead hurriedly shoved her phone in her pocket and started the motorcycle. Liam wrapped his arms around her waist as she pulled out of the woods and onto the road quickly.

Where are you going? Liam thought to Desira.

Hospital. No more questions, trying to drive here.

Desira drove recklessly in between cars and sped about twenty over the limit. Liam fearfully tighten his arms as she took and sharp right turn. Weaving and speeding they arrived to the hospital. Liam immediately jumped off the bike and tore the helmet off.

"Remind me not to ride with you when you're in a hurry again please?" He said with a laugh.

"Don't ride with me when I'm in a hurry, Little Wolf."
