Of all the people to find me why did it have to be him? That's what I'm thinking when I look to see walking towards me is Maddox. Oh shit. That's what I'm thinking when I see he's not alone. Hunter is with him.
They both reach me and Hunter is the one to to talk first. " I found your note and called Maddox to help and come look for you. You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous sis". I snort at that.
The Unsub is doing this for me, they wouldn't kill me after getting this far. But I don't say that aloud, what I do say is "I can handle myself thank you very much"
Maddox offers his two cents "Really now?"
I glare at him, "really, since the Unsub's doing this for me, he's not going to harm me". Immediately I regret the words.
Crap....
Hunter and Maddox look at me with confused and eyes wide expressions. My brother is the first to speak. "Huntress we don't know that for sure-" at that point I drown him out for a little while focusing on my thoughts.
Its that second when I realize how long I've kept my ability a secret, how long I've dealt with this on my own ever since Mom. I realize if I want to find out whose doing this I need help.
I look at Hunter and Maddox.
And that means telling them the truth.
The ENTIRE truth.
I shake my head, let out a breath and make my decision before I have time to think about not doing it. In a rush, I cut my brother's speech off and say, " I know for sure because I heard his thoughts with...with my shadow powers".
