“I don’t know but I think they’re going to try to lend me power so that it will be possible.” He replies.
“Ok, so back to the issue for right now how’re we going to sneak out?” Jett asks leaning forward.
“Well it actually works in our favour that the academy is working on a skeleton staff right now since everyone else is on a training day or whatever the fuck they call it.” Damon says.
“Good fucking point. Ok, everyone get your go bags, thanks for that suggestion Ty,” Jett says and Ty winks clearly he knew something, “Then I suggest that we split up into twos and take several exits. We can meet at the stables but I’m not sure how we can convince the stable guy to let us take the horses.”
“I already bribed him, he and the others should be leaving right about now and will be gone for twenty minutes only. We should probably get going.” Ty says, kissing Cole firmly and then hopping up and striding to the door.
We stare after him in shock for a few moments, sometimes his gift is utterly amazing and has the potential to be quite damn scary too.
“Come on, chop chop you lot.” He says raising his eyebrows and smirking.
Fortunately all of our clothes are pretty much battle ready and we are always armed so that’s one less thing to do. His words have us all up and moving across the hall to our room to get our go bags as the guys get theirs. Once we’ve gotten our go bags we automatically split up into pairs and take as many different exits as we can.
We barely have five minutes left by the time we get to the stables but Ty must’ve bribed the guys pretty damn well because all of our horses are tacked up and ready to go.
“Harry you lead, your best with directions. We need to get there as soon as possible especially if they want to get them out as soon as it gets dark. It’s going to be one hell of a mission. Everyone ready?” Asher asks.
Ghost caws in response making me grin widely.
“I’ll take that as a yes, let’s go!” He chuckles before nudging his horse into a gallop and ours follow suit.
Just before we leave I hear Cole mutter, “I hope he likes me.”
“He’s going to fucking love you the prickly bastard.” Asher mutters back before we make our way out of the gates.
Sage here we come
Chapter Twenty-Two
Sage
“That can’t be them can it?” Levi asks as we hear the sound of horses approach their hooves pounding the Earth.
“I highly doubt it. It’s only been a couple of hours and when we plotted the route on the map it was at least five.” Kysen replies.
As the sound of the horses gets closer we all draw our weapons and prepare to fight.
“Chances are that they are hostile in this part of the forest, there didn’t look like there were any villages out this way on the map.” Jax says in warning.
“Why are you grinning like a looney?” Kai suddenly asks Kysen.
“It’s my brothers.” He replies lowering his weapon.
“That sounds like more than three horses.” Levi comments just as Knot and Ghost swoop into the clearing, the horses quick on their heels.
“What’s up bitch tits.” A familiar voice yells and I stare at her momentarily confused for long enough that she has time to dismount her horse and wrap me in a giant hug.
“No fucking way!” I exclaim suddenly coming back online and realising that Erin and the guys are actually fucking here. “Dude I was so fucking worried about you guys! How the hell!?”
“It’s a long story, we’ve known you were with Sen for a while but Ty said that we couldn’t tell you where we were. He’s got precog and said it was something to with the Fates. I don’t really understand but I do know not go against him.” Erin explains as the guys start to greet each other a bit sedately than we have.
“Ah I get it.” I reply completely understanding after all that’s why I couldn’t tell Kysen about Cole. Speaking of which, “Ty as in Kysen’s brother?”
“Yep,” Erin grins, mischievous light dancing in her eyes. “Shall we make introductions?”
“Oh yeah this is going to be fun.” I grin.
