Run - Chapter 14, Part 2
ON his own.
I looked between the two girls. I could see it now. The hair, their shining eyes, the shape of their face. "What dose that have to do with anything?" Vlad hissed. "I can read her mind. Everyone in my family can mind read. She knows where Drakon is headed." Adella told us. "How dose she know this?" I asked. Adel scowled at Yuri. "He was boarding him here." She said. Vlad turned to Yuri. "Is this true?!" he snapped. Yuri didn’t answer, he just backed up. The little leech on his neck let go and dropped down onto the floor. Then she tripped him. He gasped as he went tumbling down. I flitted over to him and picked him up by the collar. "Please don’t kill me. I did not know he had kidnapped them. Pleases, forgive me!" he wailed. "What did he do while he was here?" I growled. "He stayed in one of my rooms.
That’s all I know. Lutka might know more. I stayed away from him. He is crazy." Yuri said. I dropped him. Lutka was looking at Adella again, and Adel was looking at her. Their eyes were intense. We watched them, until Adella broke away. "She said that Dakon was drugging them. He tied them both to his bed, and fed the woman some amanitas mushrooms. Then he gave the girl a hand full of codeine. They were making funny noises all night." She said. I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. He was killing them slowly, and I couldn’t do anything about it. "Where is he headed?" Vlad asked. Adel looked at her sister. "Pevek." She replied. I flinched. "That’s on the other side of Russia. It will take a couple of days to get there. We can stay here for the day, and then we will be off. Ok, Draven?" Vlad asked me. I looked at him, then turned and walked up the stairs. "I guess that’s a, yes." I heard behind me. But he was wrong. It was not a yes. I was going to leave them here. It was time I went on my own. I walked up another set of stairs up into the tower, and found my room. I slipped into the large silk covered bed, and went to sleep. When everyone had gone to bed, and was sound asleep, I would be gone.
