Chapter 11: Jack

I watch as Alika sets the bowl of water down in front of Mark. I watch in fascination as Mark's brown eyes suddenly streak with red as he concentrates on whatever he is doing. Cassidy leans over to Felix.

"What is he doing?" She whispers. Felix shrugs.

"Beats me. He is probably lying about everything anyways. Honestly what an-" I shot him a death glare. He hushes as the water in the bowls swirls in front of Mark. Eventually it calms down, creating a beautiful woman's face. The same face as I saw down at the lake a couple of nights ago. Felix and Cassidy stare in awe as the figure blinks.

"Why have you called me? Especially without proper notice."

"I'm sorry Lady Celeste," Mark apologizes. "But this is kind of urgent."

"What is so urgent that you had to wake me-"

"Phil is missing," he says bluntly. Lady Celeste's face was full of shock.

"What? How?"

"We believe that he was kidnapped. Why we don't know but we aren't the only pack who is missing members."

"Well," she says impatiently. "Who is this other pack?" Mark motions  for me to stand beside him which I did. Lady Celeste's face turns from impatient to one full of cold attitude. "Mark, we talked about this."

"I know, I know!" Mark says running a hand through his already messy hair. "But they need help and so do we." After a few moments, she finally sighs.

"What do you want from me?"

"Do you know anyone, mostly female, who has red fur as a wolf?"  Lady Celeste seems taken back by the question.

"No, I don't know anyone really anyone with red fur..." She trails off. She glances at me, giving me a cold glare. "But I know some people that cause trouble amongst others!" I grit my teeth so I don't let out a growl, while Mark scratches the back of his neck.

"Cel. Please. He isn't here to cause trouble. This is very important."

"Well, I don't know any females with red fur," she snaps. Lady Celeste closes her eyes and sighs. "Listen, I don't want to cause trouble but can a few minutes alone with Mark?" Mark frowns while the rest of us nod and step outside.

"She is so rude!" Cassidy exclaims, kicking the nearest rock. I shrug.

"She's part of Mark's family, so I can see why she hates me." Eden shakes her head at my response.

"No, Lady Celeste is a pretty fair woman who has been cursed with The Sight." I frown.

"The Sight?" Dan and Eden both nod.

"So wait... You mean she can see the future?" Dan nods at Alika's question. "So that means she could have told us that this would happen!"

"Not necessarily.." Eden says while moving a strand of hair out of her face. "She can only see it in snippets. And it comes in symbols so it's very hard to read." we were interrupted by the door opening. I glanced over and saw Mark stepping out, pale as can be. Something was wrong. He meets my stare but glances away.

"We need to have a chat with Shelby."
