Not thinking about the others, I kiss his jaw before tucking my face into the crook of his neck.

I’m just about to relax when the whirring of the wheels on the concrete starts to sound like a gale-force wind roaring in my ears.

I wrap my arms around Raighne’s neck, mentally crying, “It’s happening again. Don’t let go of me.”

“I’ve got you,” I hear him in my thoughts before everything blurs.

I slowly peek around me, scared to death of what I’ll see this time.

It looks like in a forest, the wind bending the trees while leaves and debris fly everywhere.

I’m hardly able to breathe from the strong winds ripping at me.

My eyes lock on a young Asian girl, and I watch as she falls near a pool of water. With fear etched onto her face, she looks up at the heavens.

Her black hair whips wildly around her, then she turns her head and looks right at me.

Relief makes her face go slack, then she surprises the hell out of me when she says, “My name is Sky. I’m waiting for you, Alchera. I’m at the Kegan Falls in Japan.”

I see the tears sparkling in her eyes.

“You don’t have long, Alchera. It’s coming!”

I come to with a jolt.

“What is it?” Raighne asks, worried.

I realize we’re still driving, and I suck in a shuddering breath before I reply, “After getting Sarah and Doug, we have to find a waterfall and shift to the Kegan Falls in Japan. My fourth chosen one is there, and she knows I’m coming.”

Soon, the cab turns onto St. James Street, and I immediately recognize the area.

“God, I hope they’re here,” I mutter.

“They should be,” Brenna says, keeping her tone low. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have seen them here.”

We soon find ourselves in the familiar parking area, and the moment the cab comes to a stop, Raighne pushes the door open. We climb out, and I glance around, wondering where to go next.

As the cab drives away, I wave around us. “I have no idea what to do now. This is all the vision showed me of this place. What use am I if I can’t even sense them?” I feel so hopeless, and it scares the hell out of me. “They’re all going to die, and it’s going to be my fault.”

“You’re doing fine,” Raighne says, “Don’t think like that.”

My eyes search the parking lot for any sign of Doug and Sarah, but there are none.

Panic grips my heart as I think of Sky waiting for me to save her from whatever’s heading her way.

I start to feel frustrated, but it’s weird, and I realize it’s not my emotion. A headache begins to pulse behind my eyes, and I automatically start walking to the other side of the parking area.

With every step, the headache gets worse, then I hear a familiar voice say, “Sit down, Sarah. Catch your breath.”

When I come around the back of a van, I see Sarah sitting on the passenger seat with her legs out of the vehicle while Doug crouches in front of her. There’s a wheelchair beside them.

“Take deep breaths,” he murmurs to her. “I’m going to move you to the wheelchair. Okay?”

I’ve found them. Thank God.

“Hi,” I say just as Raighne comes to stand behind me and the rest of our group catches up to us.

“Can I help you?” Doug asks as he rises to his full height.

“Yeah.” I nod and move a step closer. “My name’s Alchera, and these are my friends. I know it’s going to sound crazy, but I’m here to help you.”

Doug shakes his head, giving us a suspicious look. “We don’t need any help.”

Thinking of Sky, who’s waiting for me, I know I don’t have time to break the news gently to them, so I say, “I really hope you’ll believe me because we’re running out of time. I’ve come for you and Sarah.”

Doug takes a threatening step toward me, demanding, “How do you know my sister’s name?”

“Doug.” I give him a pleading look. “I’ve seen you in a vision, and you’re two of ten chosen people to be saved.”

“Fuck the hell off,” he hisses, giving me a look of warning.

“I know you’re dying of cancer,” I say as I look at Sarah. “But if you come with me, I can help you.”

I glance at Doug. “You’re amazing, the way you care for her. I know you don’t want to lose Sarah.” His jaw clenches, and it looks like he’s a second away from attacking me.

“Please, Doug,” I beg. “Come with me and let me save her. I know it’s a leap of faith, but it’s all you have. This planet is about to be destroyed.”

As if by command, the ground beneath us starts to tremble, and a deep, low moan shudders through the earth.

It sounds all too familiar, sending a wave of fear through me.
