“i dont know who your mother is”

“then you know im not lieing” he said planly “the spell reavles three things, the past, the future, and the truth” he took a step back giveing the girl more space “you can feel it cant you, you can see the vitsions as i speak, thats what im hear for, go ahead and ask me anything, ill tell you, ill speak truthfuly”

jaro sat in the grass, when the girl came up he made no effort to move but he begain to speak “ashly gave you her spell, that means she trusts you, and that in turn means i trust you”
he stood slowly “ashly gave you her spell” he spoke again “that means you need to see something, and that in turn means im here to show you, i dont know what it is yet, but im sure youll find out before i do, but first i must make sure, you do know how the spell works correct”

jaro was scaning around the area with his mask, it took him only an hour to find the girls energy signiture, she was in some sort of bar… “hmm” he saw her through a window, sitting with a man, “they seem to be haveing a good time”
“is she on a date?” jess asked “she went from trying to kill you to going on a date? whats with this girl?”
the man got up from the table for a moment, most likely to go to the bath room “stay here” jaro muttered before jumping down, he quickly walked into the bar, makeing no effort to conceal himself, he slowly walked up to the table with the girl, and sat accross from her, before she could react he put his hands up “peace, i mean no harm to you, we need to talk, no wepons no magic no tricks, just a good old fation heart to heart, when your ready meet me in the park three blocks east of here, ill be waiting”
just as quickly as he came, he left, quickly moveing back to jess “we move now, and jess… i need to meet her alone”
“but”
“no buts, we do this right or we dont do this at all got it”
she thought for a moment then nodded
“good cheek yourself into a hotel, preferable one near the park, ill go meet with her thyre, and jess/// if anything happenes to me, you had damn well better make it back safe you got it”

his phone started to ring, picking it up quickly he heard a fermiliar computerized voice say “your request has been spotted, outside of new orlines” it then gave exact cordinance he nodded to jess, she knew what he ment, she grabbed her things and the both of em went down a few floors, down to cait’s room, she was lieing in bed reading, gabby was asleep in her chair “we found her” jaro said “but were going to need a little push” nothing else was said, jess and jaro each took hold of one of cat’s arms, then she cast her spell, bringing all three of them to the spirit plane, they let go, cat droped back to her bed, before jess and jaro could do the same, they used theyre momentem to send them flying to new orlines
they landed on top of a roof, jess was looking out over the streets “so whats the plan then?”
“simple enough, we find her, then she and i have a chat, ashly gave her that spell for a reason, so im going to make sure she gets all the information she needs to utilize it”

the voice on the other end came back “WE haVe DisCusSed wHat You haVE ToLD US, aNd iF yoU aRe CORRECT, THen tHiS NEedS tO Be INvesTiGateD, We wIll SeNd SomEoNe ElsE AftER the Girl”
he hung up the phone and turned to Sonara, he grabed her arms and lifted them up, he begain to smell her up and down, her arms, her legs, her chest, he was vary thorough, and indeed there it was, it was subtle but it was there, the same taint
he turned back and reached into his bag, pulling out a gas mask and two long rubber gloves, putting each of them on, he wasnt about to take any chances where the taint was involved
before she could react he put a cotton swab in her mouth, pulling back before she could bite his hand, he placed the swab in a plastic container siliva sample he pulled one of his spines out of his head, when it was in his hand he squezzed to get rid of most of the nerotoxin, leaveing in just enough to act as a mild anistetic, he considered temporaraly paralizeing her incase he needed more samples but decided against it, the girl had helped him after all, he jabbed the point into the girls neck, first injecting the toxin, then releaseing to draw in her blood blood sample he plucked a strand of fur from the girls neck hair sample finaly he whipped out a knife and sliced off the tip of one of the strange vines, fully expecting it to bleed black… it didnt bleed oddity sample
with all the samples secure in various airtight containers, he pulled of his gloves, shooting them with some sort of gun from his bag, comepleatly obliterating them, leaveing behind not even ash, and placeing the gas mask back into his bag with the gun, he then begain to change his legs
while the kelfir couldnt change much about themselves, being fairly locked into the form they where born with, he could change enough to lengthen his legs and giveing them an extra joint which bent backwards, makeing him 6foot2 and giveing him both the extra reach and spring to easly outrun the girl
he sprinted down the street, he needed to lose the girl so he could go back to his temporary base in secret, and examine the samples he colected

jaro sat with jessica in her room, of all the people in the compond she was the one who needed him most “iv put out my feelers” he said trying to provoke some response other then the total numb that she was in now “if the girl makes one step into a city ill know about it in minutes” still nothing he shook his head and looked forward
“when she came back” jess started to mumble “when i first saw my mother… i was 15, i had gone from one foster home to another, lost and alone the whole way… when i saw this frail old woman standing out in front of our yard, i knew right away something was up, i couldnt tell what, but she didnt seem right… and when she told me she was my mother… i dont know why but i belived her… right away i belived her… and you know what the first thing i did was? i punched her in the face… i hit her and hit her and hit her… i just wanted her to suffer… i wanted her to die… and she… she just stood there, and she took every punch, she didnt even flinch… and when i finaly got tired and stopped she was still smileing, and she asked ‘did you want to hit me again? if you need to work out some more of your anger we should do it later… i have something youll want to see’… it wasn’ her fault that she left, i know that now…she had been caputered, but… even after that… even though she had never done any wrong by me, she still let me hit her, she let me hurt her. because thats what i needed to do”
jaro understood right away what jess ment. it was the way ashly was, she knew exactly what you needed, what everyone needed, there was no magic to it, it was just the way she was… and she went out of her way to make sure you got it… even if it ment she had to suffer for it. he leaned in closer and put his arms around her shoulders she begain to cry again “what was it for?” she asked “what did it mean?” she wasnt asking him, no she was asking her mother “why?”… she didnt finish the last question

drakel looked around, i took a moment, but he noticed it after a while, it was covered up with theyre animel smells, but with so many of them together he could smell it on them, in them, he could feel the tug… that black pull “this is wrong” he said as he leaned over gripping at his stomach to stop himself from pulling the head of the nearest thing he could grasp “this is wrong” he said again this cant be here. HOW CAN THIS BE HERE “this is wrong” one last time, it was all he could get out… that stench, oh gods that stench, it was driving him mad, he turned as fast as he could manage without losing control, and ran out of the compound the second he passed the invisible barrier that hid that hideous place he started to calm down, the first thing he did after his mind cleared up enough that he was able to talk normally was reach for his phone, the consul needed to hear this
-
“rude little vixen isnt she” Drakel laughed at his own joke “you comeing jhon? or shall we catch up later”

jaro waited out side of Jaricho’s office, jess was beside him, slowly rocking back and forth, gabby was with her daughter some floors bellow, the entire compond was silent, everone was morning the loss of thire greate leader, and thier loveing mother, jessy had taken the worst of it though, though she hadint been rasised by her as the rest of them had, ashely had really been her mother, and she loved her desipet how she may have acted… she was broken… numb, jaro wanted to help her, but he didnt know what to say
the door opened up and Jaricho stepped out “your going to want to see this” he ushered them in softly, “iv managed to figure out the cause of death, asphyxiation she chocked in her sleep, there were no marks on her body however”
“so then she used a spell to cut off the air flow?” jaro asked
“i thought so at first, but when i looked for traces of spells that had been cast on her, i found something strange, the only spell that had been cast on her any time reacently was so sort of protection spell… its posible that this girl could have used a protection spell to cover up the spell she used to kill her but…”
jess finished his sentace “but then why would she reavel that she killed her if she wanted to cover it up”
“exactly, there is another posibiliy” he looked at jess “your mother had sleep apnea, it was a minor case to be sure, but its entirely posible that she stopped breathing when she was asleep, and simply didnt start up again”
it was jaros turn to chime in “but if thats the case, how did she get ashly’s spell book, and when did the protection spell get cast on”
“thats where things get interesting, after i found that little inconsistancy i looked over the sicurity tapes from last night and i found this” he directs the two to his computer
the scean is a simple one, they watch as gabby goes out and shouts at the air, but without sound they cant hear what shes saying, then it happens, they see ashly walk out of the bunker as gabby walked back in, then the girl apears out of nowhear, they talk for a time, then they see ashly hand the girl her book and the girl kissing ashly’s forhead, ashly then walks back inside, and the girl disapears
“she…” Jessica murrmered “she… gave her… she gave her spell book away”
Jaro was just as shoocked as jess was “she knew she was going to die…”
Jaricho finished his thought “and her last action was to give that girl one of the most powerful spells in existance”

it took a moment for drakel to recognize the man, “John Emerson” he said aloud as he gave the tall man a friendly hug “havent seen you in years, since the whole deal with the Fallisins” John was an old informant, part of the Egela’s information network, he and drakel had worked together in the past, he was a good man to be sure, and exclent and finding out things people want to keep hidden “as for the girl” he said pointing to the wolf close behind him, “she gave me some information on someone iv been after, so im helping her out, tit for tat and all that”
-
he laughed “fraid not just my leggs and my will” he stopped and looked around for a moment, getting his barings as the cars bikes and other such vihicals rode by “youd best lead the way, youd know this town better then i”

drakel pulled a pack of smokes out from his pocket, nicotine had strange effect of Kelfir, no one was certain why but it hightened there cognitive abilites if taken over a long period of time, the effect was slight but given that they didnt get any of the negitive effects humans did from the toxic substance most kelfir would find themselves smokers eventuly
he lit the smoke in his mouth and offered the girl one as they walked out of the coffee shop
-
Drakel bit his lip no telling how long a distraction that could be and i finaly have a goo lead… “vary well but lets make it quick shall we, i dont have the luxry of time on my side”

“Nullswater” he said running his fingers through his spins “or rather Grandoak now… depending on who you ask, were on the human end of the boarder between the vellra and olara
