Souls Intertwined

Chapter 2

“Cass why don’t you just try calling him it would save us plenty of time” I calmly suggest.

“Yes, okay you’re right” Cass sighs finally caving.

I can tell Cass is still quite frustrated though because she has started to pace up and down which is giving me a headache. The reason for her pacing in the first place is Eddie. He’s not here yet and we have been standing outside of the cinema waiting for well over an hour. He has probably forgotten what time the movie starts, either that or he isn't even out of bed yet. Or both.

“I am going to kill him. He has only just got out of bed” Cass growls.

It is a good thing that Eddie is not here right now because if looks could kill he would be dead or in desperate need to run for his life.

“I've told him if he is not here in twenty minutes then we are going in without him” Cass says folding her arms making it clear that her decision is final.

Cass is still ranting about Eddie talking at like 100mph but I’m not concentrating on what she is saying or even her really. I am busy staring at the road and the scene about to take place. A child no older than five runs out into the middle of the road. The child is a girl with light blonde curly hair to her shoulders. A red car comes round the corner too fast headed in the direction of the child who seems to be frozen in place. The car is gaining speed. The girl stares at the car with wide, terrified blue eyes.

Before I even know what I am doing I am running in the direction of the girl. Cass has started shouting something behind me in a high tone of voice. I ignore her. My only mission is to get to the girl although it is impossible I have to try. I push myself harder to the point where I cannot run any faster. I reach the child scooping her up in my arms and bring her close to my body. The car is right on top of us now and there is nothing I can do. I close my eyes.

Ouch. That hurt. I feel pain throbbing up one side of my body. I open my eyes. I am lying on the other side of the road the child still in my arms her own little arm wrapped around my neck.

“Ash! Ash! Are you okay?” Cass asks helping me up her face frantic with worry.

“Erm…. Ye….Yes” I say not really sure what just happened.

“Wow you must be a faster runner than I thought because looked impossible” Cass says oblivious to the truth.

That’s the thing it really was impossible. There was no way we could have made it. At least not on our own anyway. Which we weren't. Something got there faster and knocked me out of the way. It wasn't a demon as vampires can sense demons. Even though I am part human I still possess the ability to sense demons. All I can tell is this creature is special. More importantly it has a soul.
