Free Trinity - The Prophecy by Kylie Price Page B

to pull us out.
    “I met a guy a few weeks ago. It was supposed to be like a date. Turns out he is a fruit loop and a total waste of my time,” she said from the front seat.
    Jason looked in the rear-view mirror, caught my eye, and then looked away.
    “What was his name?” he asked Nikkee.
    “I don’t even remember it anymore ,” she said bluntly.
    “Why couldn’t you just meet him there with your own car?” he pressed.
    “I don’t know. Maybe so he would feel pressured to take us back. Good thing I have an awesome brother ,” she said. I could imagine the smile she would be giving him. It was always priceless when she was trying to smooth Jason over.
    “You are being reckless. After what happened to Trinity I would think you would be a bit more responsible.”
    I cut in; I couldn’t let her take all the blame. “It was more my idea. Nikkee didn’t even want to go.”
    His eyes flicked to me again and lingered for some time before they turned back to the road and he just looked straight ahead. He was mad. Not because he had to pick us up but because he thought we were putting ourselves in danger. Well he was right. We were.
    We got home after Jason dropped us off at Nikkee’s car and went straight to my room. Nikkee was lounging in the beanbag while I laid on my bed looking down at her.
    “What are you going to do Trin?” Nikkee asked me.
    My eyes met hers and I asked, “So you believe it?”
    “How could we not. Like you said last night it makes more sense than any other explanation ,” she admitted.
    I thought for a moment. As crazy as it did sound. It did make more sense than anything else we could think of.
    “So what side do you think you will choose?”
    “Well, I’m not sure but if I had to choose I guess it probably would be the vamps. I mean they didn’t try to kill me whereas the werewolf at the club did. But I also want to find out what he knows about my parents ,” I told her.
    Nikkee sat up quick. “That’s right. I didn’t believe you before so I didn’t really think about it. Maybe you weren’t abandoned. On the other hand, maybe you were, but for your own safety. Maybe she knew they were going to kill you and left you so you could live ,” she said excitedly.
    I lay back on my bed and looked up to the roof. Maybe that could have been the case. It had always hurt me knowing I was abandoned and my foster monster would never let me forget it, or the fact that she had to put up with me. I had snapped back at her once saying, “Why become a foster parent if you don’t like it?” I was then called ungrateful and spiteful. With her I could never win. I was never going to make her proud. I was never going to have her love because she had none to give me. I often thought about one family I was with for only a short time but it had been magical. I had even got Christmas presents. Unfortunately, their house was only a go between until something more permanent came along, and I drew the short straw on that one.
    “What if other werewolves were not like that and some are awesome,” Nikkee asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
    “I don’t know any other werewolves to ask if they are nice or not ,” I laughed, and Nikkee joined me.
    “True. Well maybe we should try and find one so you can ask.”
    I sat up fast and looked at her.
    “What?” asked Nikkee surprised.
    “Nikkee that’s a fantastic idea ,” I said in excitement.
    “I was only joking Trin ,” she frowned.
    “Maybe, but its brilliant ,” I said pausing then asked, “But where would we start looking.”
    “Maybe ask my ex-boyfriend Lachlan.”
    I laughed again, “By the way, thanks for the save on that one.”
    She waved her hand at me like a dismissal. “Anytime. Jason knows I’m a loose cannon and jump into anything head first. He would expect it of me.” She paused, gave me a playful scowl then added. “Yet the fact that it was with you was very interesting. Moving in with me has been a bad
