Chapter 3
This was a shock to me and I slowly back away "Your d-d-dangerous" I stutter.
"No, I am as harmless as a fly and I know you are too" he explains, oh great he knows or does he, I don't know. "Do you know" I ask expecting myself to be embarrassed when he says no.
"Of course I know, you have a cat spirit, I notice you at school when you have to creep off into the bushes to transform so you don't end up doing it in class" He smiles.
"Your Fortis, you go to my school and how could I forget you are in my class" I say shocked by my incredibly bad memory "I didn't know you were a traitor".
"A traitor, no no…" he explains. Why did he pause so suddenly? There are so many questions, but then I notice he staring right at me as if something has gone wrong. "RUN" he yells at me his voice echoing with fear. I don't need to be told twice so I run for a nearby tree at the edge of the clearing. I notice there are no footsteps following me and I turn around. Fortis was standing in the middle of the clearing, staring into the trees, when I hear a painful shriek "Get him and the girl" I don't know where to run, the voice seems to be all around me. But then the most extraordinary happened, five jet black horse burst into the clearing in front of Fortis. The riders of these horses were wearing black ropes as well so do you couldn't see their faces. Fortis suddenly turned around and bolted in my direction. "RUN, I SAID RUN" he is screaming at me, as he speeds past me, I start to run so I can catch up with him. "Where are we going" I nearly scream at him noticing he is only a couple feet a head of me.
"Some place far away from here" he yells back,
"What about my family?" I am now screaming out of anger and fear "I have to go back".
"Don't you won't make it and even if you do you will be putting the whole of Kaylyle in danger" he says turning his head around to face me, his face was white as a sheet. Dangerous? How dangerous could some people on horses be.
"Who are those people on the horses?" I ask my mouth now as dry and as rough as sandpaper.
He opens his mouth to speak but only squealing words comes out "Caeruleus, been chasing me for days"
