Free Trinity - The Prophecy by Kylie Price

missing,” Jason said with a hint of anger.
    “I would have called the Army if I had their number ,” Nikkee smirked.
    He looked at me and then at Nikkee then walked back through the door, slamming it behind him.
    “I called him last night when I couldn’t get a hold of you. I didn’t think he would drive down. I’ll go and talk to him,” she said. She left the table then walked out the front door.
    I heard hushed angry whispers from both of them. I squinted my eyes and forced myself not to hear.
    Jason had looked relieved and mad at the same time, but also surprised to see me. A flutter started as the image of his relieved face played across my thoughts. Then came Sky’s and Lachlan’s. I had sent Sky a text when I had woken up asking if she was mad at me, but I had not received a reply. I tried not to panic. She could have still been sleeping. I felt like something was wrong. Sky had been different ever since my Birthday when I moved into Nikkee’s. I was sure there was some jealousy, but only because I was not with her. Nikkee and I had asked her to move in too, but she had declined. Was there something else I was missing? Something that could have been right in my face the whole time?
    My phone chimed and made me jump again. I quickly unlocked the screen to see a message from a number that I did not know.
    “We will need to meet 2nite. Lachlan.”
    I really didn’t want to but I replied anyway.
    “Why?”
    “You will need 2 feed again.”
    My mind slowly took in what his message meant.
    “I’m eating now ,” I sent back.
    “A real feed. Meet at Jala’s at 9.”
    “OK” was all I sent. What else was I supposed to say? “Who’s on the menu?”
    The rest of the day Nikkee and I spent lounging around watching movies. I told her what Lachlan had sent and in no way, shape or form was she going to let me go alone. I was cool with that. I would feel safer with someone else there to back me up if I needed them. It had been silly of me to go off with Lachlan the night before, but my need for answers overrode the rational thinking part of my brain.
    Jason stood at the back door as he watched us walk to the garage and hop in Nikkee’s car. At first glance I couldn’t really see his face, but I opened my mind and made my eyes look closer and then it came into view. He looked worried. A fast thumping sound was in my ears. My body responded to the noise, and then it was gone and I looked away. I was actually surprised he would let us go out on a Saturday night after everything else that had happened. Whether he had a crush on me or not he was still a protective brother.
     
    We were waiting outside of Jala’s. It was closed, which we knew it would be. Nikkee stuck close to my side and scanned up and down the street when we saw a car approach. Nikkee grabbed my hand and held it tight. I was not sure if it was for my comfort or for hers. Maybe both, because I was scared too. The car pulled up in front of us, a window came down, and Lachlan’s face came into view.
    “Should I have said ‘Alone’ in the message?” he said with a hint of anger.
    “I wouldn’t have listened anyway ,” I replied with a smile.
    He put his hand up to his face. “So I guess you have told her ?”
    I didn’t reply I just pulled Nikkee to the car and hopped in the back seat with her.
    “So where are we going on our first date? McDonalds?” Nikkee asked with sarcasm.
    “For you maybe, but Trinity and I will be going to Huss it Out !” Lachlan said as he started driving.
    “What’s on the menu there?” she asked.
    “Humans ,” he said plainly.
    Nikkee didn’t respond and neither did I. A lump had formed in my throat as fear ran through my body as well as nerves. Could this really be happening? Was I going to feed on a human?
    After the short drive, we pulled up to the car park and got out of the car.
    “I don’t think I can do this ,” I said honestly. Nikkee went back to holding my hand.
    “You have to ,” he said
