I frantically ran out of the warehouse dragging Jaxon, Harry, and Lilly with me. I'm sure all of you know why. The second person I fear after Blade is Ashley, and I'm sure she's going to unleash her banshee side if I stay there longer, making me deaf, with some black and blue patches on my skin because of her smacking.

"Why are we running?" Jaxon asked after a few minutes of us running, all of us panting, catching our breath. I stopped and looked behind us, hoping Ashley wouldn't follow us, and I was relieved to see no shadow of her behind us. My shoulder slumped down, panting, and I sat at the side of the road wiping the sweat on my forehead. Lilly slumped down beside me, also panting, while Jaxon and Harry just stood beside us, both hands on their waist, waiting for my answer.
