Broken Pieces

Chapter 6

 I have finally retained some my memories. I some what understand why I am being hunted. The council is afraid of me. They're afraid I might try and change their ruling or take over the council. I don't know what to do anymore. My body is starting to slow down. I haven't eaten in weeks, because the Seekers are every where. Except one place where I desperately hope they're not. I need to go home. I need to see Allen, I can't take this anymore!.

 It's raining as I enter the country of Quebec. Great more rain.I think as I run  down the highway. I reach Allen's house in a couple of hours, even with my endurance and power no one can change traffic. I stand on the edge of the lot, unsure of how to begin explaining. It was then that I realized that there was an unfamiliar car in the driveway. I hide my power with my spirit ability and I expand my senses. A Spirit Arithian. Thats what my gut is telling me. I slowly make my way up the house hold steps and hesitate at the door. I finally ring the door bell and wait. I could hear Cassie's voice and an elderly woman's but not Allen's. Then I hear his familiar footsteps coming to the door and I squint slightly as the bright light hits my face. I look up into the face of Allen who was shocked and happy at the same time. Before I could move He pulls me into a tight hug. I hug him back and my eyes start to get watery.

"It's okay, You can cry" He whispers to me as he holds me tighter and I can't help it I cry. I cry out my frustration, fear and anger. I cry out my helplessness and finally cry about how happy I am to see Allen again. Allen reluctantly pulls back and takes my hand leading me into the house. He goes up to his room and brings me down a blue T-shirt of his and I go into the washroom and change my soaked shirt and throw it into the hamper. Then I  follow Allen into the kitchen were Cassie was talking to an elderly woman, who was a Spirit Arithian.

"So do you know why she would leave that for Allen? I mean I was the one who told her to leave....." 

"So it was you sis" Allen said his voice hard

"Yes, It was me and I only did It because I had to protect mom,dad, Adam, Angie and you. I wouldn't otherwise, I mean she was my best friend at the Academy" Cassie said defeatedly.

"Yeah, You were my only friend of mine too. In that prison of a school" I say stepping out from behind Allen.

"Veronica! what in the name of cows are you doing here?!" Cassie exclaimed getting up from her chair. She rushed over and gave me a big hug. Saying that she was so sorry. 

"You must be Eileen" I say as Cassie was done hugging me and I sat down beside her. Allen sat in the chair left to me and Cassie sat across the table.

"Yes, my dear I am indeed Eileen" answered the elderly woman 

"You must be so tired having to run all the time, I can tell you haven't eaten in weeks. And that your powers are straining to stay together"

"Right on the dot Eileen, Im sick of running, Being hunted by Seekers whose knifes suck my power away every time I get near them" I say with a strained voice. Under the table Allen's hand squeezes my leg and I smile slightly.

"You don't have to hide your gifts honey, I have put up a warding" Eileen said taking a sip of Ice tea. sighing with great relief I take away the spirit guard and allow my aura to go to it's full form.

"Feel better?" Eileen asks

"Much better thank you" I could feel my body relaxing as I take in the familiar surroundings and finally Allen's protective presence.
