Free Lost (The Allure Chronicles Book 3) by Alyssa Rose Ivy

stop and meet him head on?” I asked.
    “Uh, no.” Hugh scrunched up his nose. “Are you crazy?”
    “We’re Allures, what can he do to us?” I thought the benefit of immortality was you didn’t have to concern yourself with anything.
    “We don’t know for sure what he is, which makes him dangerous.” Violet accelerated and moved into the left lane.
    “But we’re dangerous.”
    “To many, but not to everyone.” She moved the speedometer passed eighty.
    “What do you think he is?” Hugh had seemed to have a pretty good idea.
    “A Seer.” Violet swerved into the right lane before narrowly avoiding colliding with a red van.
    “A what?” That was an unfamiliar name. There were so many unfamiliar names.
    “They can tell who and what someone is completely.” Roland put his hand on my arm.
    “Hugh just said you can do that.” I was confused.
    “I said we can sense it.” Hugh turned to look over his shoulder again. “He can tell exactly what percent someone is. He can also see their past and their future.”
    “The future?” That caught my attention. My past was behind me, but I had no idea what the future held. “That doesn’t sound good.”
    “He obviously wants you.” Violet muttered something under her breath before changing lanes again. Her driving expertise was coming in handy.
    “How do you know?” I asked even though I knew the answer. I found asking questions could sometimes be useful.
    “Because of the way he watched you,” she said as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
    “If he’s so powerful, why didn’t he grab me right off?”
    “Because he was waiting. I don’t know why.” Violet held the wheel so tightly her knuckles started to turn white.
    “Maybe he wasn’t after me. Maybe that’s it.” If I said it, maybe it would be true.
    “He is. There’s no reason for him to be after us.”
    “Unless the Force hired him to find you, Violet.” They’d wanted her before. “Ever think of that?”
    “They don’t need to hunt me down, and they wouldn’t use a Seer.”
    “Why not?”
    “Because they don’t need to know my past or future, but someone might need to know yours.”
    “That someone being who?” I knew the answer to this question would be the most important.
    “There are plenty of options.”
    “Why? What makes me important?” I was a broken Allure. That should have made me less important.
    “Likely whatever is messing up your transformation,” Roland explained.
    “What do we do?” I asked. “If we aren’t going to stop, we don’t want to let him trail us.”
    “Maybe Daisy’s idea isn’t so bad. Face him.” Violet let off the gas slightly. “Maybe it’s what makes the most sense.”
    “I’m not letting a Seer touch her,” Roland snapped.
    “Why? What if he sees nothing and leaves us alone?” Violet stayed put behind a slow car. She had officially given up on losing the guy.
    “But what if he finds something?” I asked. “What if he tells whoever hired him?”
    “They’ll catch up with us eventually anyway. We all know that.” Hugh turned forward. He had given up watching. Everyone was giving up, and I wasn’t sure if that was such a good thing for me even if I was the one who originally suggested we face the guy.
    “Not necessarily.” Roland leaned forward toward the front. “Let me drive. I can lose him.”
    “We can’t switch drivers now, and it isn’t my driving that is going to be the problem. He has a latch onto her. That’s how he found her in the first place,” Violet shrugged off his suggestion.
    Roland shook his head. “Or so we think. We can’t know that for sure.”
    “Or we can.” Violet sighed.
    “What is the worst that can happen?” One positive part of being an Allure was being fearless. Even if I wanted to feel the fear I couldn’t. I was back to numbness again.
    “He could bring you to someone who can kill you.” Roland didn’t mince words.
    “But why would he do that?” I asked calmly. “Why
