Trouble Times Three

Chapter 8

Liam's POV

I swerved the car to the left to avoid crashing into the Tremor. It stood in the middle of the road staring at Nylah. It's beady eyes not blinking, not even when she got out the car.

Wait she's out of the car?

I ran out the car calling her name. She didn't even acknowledge me. I groaned and followed as protection. She walked up to the Tremor then placed her hand on its head, closing her eyes. The Tremor, surprisingly didn't do anything; it just breathed quietly as Nylah continued to... I dunno.

As I watched, the thought of Hiccup and Toothless from 'How to train a dragon'. An almost hysterical laughter bubbled up my throat. The Tremors' pitiless eyes latched unto me and Nylah gave me a dirty look.

"Sorry ," I said putting my hands out in front of me, "just ignore me."

Not that they had trouble doing that before.

I suddenly felt my ears tingle, I tilted my head to the right as I felt a large energy source about a mile away. I looked in the direction it came from but didn't see anything so I dismissed it, looking at Nylah again. She whispered something to the Tremor, then starred at me for a while then nodded at the beast.

Real discreet Nylah now I knew for certain that she was working for the opposition.

I kept a blank face as she walked up to me smiling. She opened her mouth to say something but I turned on my heel and walked to the car. When I had sat behind the wheel I felt her hesitate at the door before she sat in the backseat. I swallowed a lump in my throat.

What are you doing Liam? The girl has been thrown into this situation and you're assuming that she somehow already works for the opposition? Maybe you should just talk to her...

Nope I already know not to get her testy.

So I began to drive the car again. The closer I got to the district line the more I smelt burning and... Lianne.

Wait what?
