Differences Can Attract

Chapter fourteen

"Makenzie?"

"Makenzie?"

"Makenzie!?"

I woke up to Cody fearful eyes. The person in the car got out and look over me. I remember walking. The rock. Darkness. The shadow.

"Are you okay?"

I look at the stranger and nod. They both signed.

"You were out for a few minutes, I thought you were dead."

"I'm fine."

"Makenzie?"

I look back and saw Jax and Raven. He was running and she was looking around.

"What happen?"

"It was an accident. I'm sorry again."

"It's okay." the stranger said.

I turn to Jax eager.

"I saw him. He was right there."

"Who?"

"The shadow. Daniel. I saw him. He was the shadow. He didn't hurt me, which was weird."

"Calm down Ken."

He grab my arm and help lift me up. He doesn't believe me. I saw him. He strangely copy me instead of kill more like he tried before.

Maybe Cody was right. If he is after Jax then I can't let him know about the certificate or the number on the back.

I limp inside with Jax. He turn angry at Cody.

"What happen?"

I knew that Cody was going to sing in minutes, so I acted fast.

"I went for a walk."

He look at me with his eyebrows up. Cody saw that as a chance to flee. When he left, Jax turn his whole body to me.

"Walking?"

"If you think Its Cody's fault, then its not."

"Okay."

"You have to chill when it comes to him. He is only trying to be your friend."

"I'm just wondering what's going on?"

"I saw him. He was right there, copying me."

"Daniel? Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"I think it was a hallucination."

"It was real."

"Is she okay?" Raven said.

I look at Raven. Since when did she care? Does sex makes her..nice? I look back at Jax and sighed.

"Everything is fine Raven."

Jax finally stood up.

"Get some rest."

"Alright."

He grab Raven hand and walk her back upstairs. I sneak downstairs to Cody. He was still looking through papers when I stumble down there.

"Are you okay?" Cody said.

"Just light headed."

"You need to rest."

"I'm fine."

"Why are you down here?"

"We are going to investigate that shadow."

"Its night time."

"It's perfect."

"You just got hit in the head."

"I'm fine."

"You should go to bed."

"I'm going now. Are you coming or not?"

"Makenzie."

"Fine."

Twenty minutes later, I was in the middle of the road. Cody had no choice but to come with me. I walk down the street where he was standing, looking around.

He couldn't have gone that far. Cody smile.

"Well we tried, lets go back home."

"No."

"Makenzie!!" Cody cried.

"We haven't tried hard enough, all we did was look around."

"So let's go back home."

"Maybe we can get to Daniel, by following Nigel Green."
