The Travelers

Chapter 8

Mia's POV

I stood there for a long time trying to figure out where he went.

He's not human, he can't be. How could a human just disappear into thin air? I trusted him. All my life I have trusted him...loved him. Why does everyone I trust lie to me. But who... no... what...what is he. What could he possible be and what does he want from me?

No I'm just being dumb and over thinking it... but how did he leave so fast?

Jason's POV

I felt bad for leaving her clueless like that. I never should have used my super speed to run away from her.

I'll go back... Yeah... and tell her I started to walk away and when she didn't follow I came back to get her. No she already thinks she's crazy.

I started running and within seconds I was in the area again. I called her name but she didn't turn around. It was as if she didn't even hear me. I walked up to her and touched her shoulder... still no movement. I walked in front of her and it was as if she was staring right through me. She started to walk and I jumped out of the way so she didn't run into me. It was like she was in a ... trance? But how can that be? I have only seen one person in one of those... but that was only because she was half vampire and half werewolf and she saw a flower. It was a flower powerful enough to cut down 300 tries in the blink of an eye of one single drop of water fell on it... it would have to be open of course. It only opened during the night and it closes and has a shield that it makes itself that forms around the whole flower roots and all. It is a breathtaking sight. Only one exists at a time. It can heal Someone from being extremely sick to as healthy as ever with a single touch. Put one of its petals in someones mouth and it can bring them back to life... even if they were dead for a thousand years. I used it on my grandpa. It has about 3,000 petals so it can last a very long time. It also can stay alive for about a century after you cut it off its stem. As you can tell I am very fascinated by the flower.

I began to follow her as she walked into the woods. She was walking very slow. Poor thing probably doesn't even know she is a hybrid. She stopped about an hour after walking and I was so confused because there wasn't a flower in sight. Just a bunch of dirt. dirt. dirt. dirt. No matter which direction you turn, all you see is dirt. I didn't even realize we were walking into a big meadow of dirt because I was to busy watching here incase she snapped out of her trance.

She started to bend down and dig into the dirt. I tried to tell her to stop... I even yelled her name for god sakes. She just kept on digging. Then I saw a small little green root. How did she spot it before it even bloomed? I was starting to think she wasn't a hybrid. But if she wasn't, then what is she? She reached out her hand to touch it and that is when I grabbed her hand and tried to pull it away. But it didn't move. Stronger than my super strength? That cant be. Then I used me super speed to back up about a mile and ran as fast and hard as I could. If you touch the flower, even as a stem, you can't touch it with your bare hand or you will die. For one who dies from the touch of the flower cannot be revived in any way possible. I couldn't let her die.

I ran as fast as I could in my super speed hoping it would take her out of her trance. I ran And I tackled her when her hand was about half an inch away  from the small stem. She came out of her trance... yes... but she didn't scream or even talk a word. I jumped off of her hoping she didn't die from touching the flower, or even worse... hoping I didn't kill her. I ran up to her and went to check her pulse... nothing I went to check her neck... still nothing.

A pain started up in my throat. My chest started to tighten up. I couldn't live without her. I couldn't live with myself if I killed her, if she was dead.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
