Chapter 576: Our missing piece

Rex

"She was just here,’’ he mutters in confusion. My eyes stay glued to the place he is pointing to but I can’t see anything. I don t know what is happening but I believe him.

I see the blood all over him.

He is not injured. It is not his blood, which just means that this is someone’s blood and he seems to be adamant about it being his mother.

"She must have escaped," I manage, I just want to be understating right now and if he is insistent on saying that she was the one, then I will believe him.

"I killed her. How could she have escaped when I fucking killed her,’’ he runs his hands through his hair as tears fall out of his eyes. This is hard for him and I can see that but I need him to focus on the important thing right now.

Gyles is missing.

I don’t know where he is and I am starting to panic.

"I need to find her; she is going to be so angry. She is going to try to hurt me back,’’ he grabs unto my arms and starts to tug at me.

"Babe, can you just put on your clothes first and we will talk about what we are going to do?’’ I ask him. I am scared right now and panicking but I also know that he is worse than me right now and he needs me right now.

"Okay,’’ he lets go of my arms and puts on his clothes hurriedly. I watch him as he tries to take steady breaths. He doesn’t want me to see him like this but I am okay with it. I have had my fair share of weak moments with them.

"Where is Gyles?" he asks, looking around.

I already told him that I didn’t find him. So, this is just him in a state of confusion. I need to get him to calm down first and then we will talk about what we are going to do.

"I don’t know."

"Why is this with you?’’ he points to the book "Gyles had it,’’ he adds.

"I know. Something must have happened to him. I don’t know why his energy is so strong. I feel him even though he is not here."

"What does that mean?’’

I shrug "I don’t know. It’s weird but it seems like he is here, with us. We need to find him. I think this is all more than we bargained for. Your mother is so much stronger than we are and I don’t think we are up for this fight."

"I can’t leave here knowing she is still alive. She will never leave.’’ he shakes his head.

He is not in the right headspace. From what I can gather, he thought he killed her but she is still alive which means she knows how he feels about her. Killing your own mother is not for the faint of hearts. I don’t know how he is feeling right now but we need to find Gyles first.

"You can’t think we are all going to fucking stay here with you while you deal with your mommy issues,’’ Darrien butts in.

I glare at him immediately and he shrugs, no guilt on his face. "How do we find Gyles, he is not answering me.’’

"You have magic. It seems like you have forgotten. Finding people is your forte. Look for him,’’ I tell him with a comforting expression on my face.

He sighs "okay, we will not be allowed inside the house. I am sure she is looking for me. I saw a shed not too far in the woods, I think we should spend the night there, at least until we figure out where the hell Gyles is."

"You are right,’’ I agree because there is nothing else we can do for now. For all we know, Analise could be watching us. She could be planning our demise.

"I still think we need to get the hell away from this place. I am not okay with all that is going on here,’’ Darrien interjects.

I see the look of dismay on his face and it makes me feel even worse for involving him in this. He was supposed to just come and pick me up and now he is in this dilemma because of me. I have half a mind to tell him to go home but I also know that he wouldn’t just leave because of Beau. He is supposed to bring me back to the community and I know that is all that is on his mind.

"Let’s just get to the shed first and then we will figure it all out."

He lets out a sigh of defeat and I watch him as he walks in front of us "He is pissed,’’ Blue mutters quietly as we walk behind him.

"Darrien is always pissed."

I clutch unto the book tightly as we continue walking "Why did you bring this out with you?’’ he asks me calmly. I see the way he is looking at the book. He doesn’t like the fact that I have it.

’I saw it in the room, I don’t know why but something feels off with it. It is like there is a different kind of energy radiating out of it,’’ I explain because that is the only thing that makes sense right now. The fact that I can still feel him even though he is not here is the weirdest thing to me.

"Gyles was in that room, he might still be inside the room. I don’t know what else could make sense.’’

I shake my head "Or he could have gone out, I don’t even know how we can find him when he is not communicating with us."

"I will try to locate him when we get inside.’’

I see the shed as Darrien stops walking and turns to us "We leave in the morning, I don’t care about anything else,’’ he warns us as he climbs the stairs and walks into the shed.

I take a deep breath as I hold onto the book.

Rex.

I hear an echo just as I am about to climb the stairs.

Rex.

This time, the voice is louder and almost recognizable. It is not a mind link but I am almost sure that it is Gyles.
