He continued in that same ominous tone, “I guess you heard what your little friend did to me last night so I need some payback. And I thought to myself; why not take the love of his life away from him.â€? Wes released my mouth and gripped my hands. I just gaped at him.

Love of his life? Is that what he just said?

“Let go of me.â€? I started getting flashbacks of the night I saw him with that random girl. I pushed them away and focused on getting free.

“Oh sorry, no escaping now. You’re on Bill’s land. Your powers won’t even work. Except for your memories, I’ll be enjoying that.â€?

“Wes, please.â€? He ignored me, dragging me toward the other guy. I struggled in his grasp, but he just picked me up, his hands around my stomach. My legs dangled in the air. But I decided to scream. “Zeke! Help me! Zeke!â€?

Wes glared at me. His eyes were piercing. “Two things, would you like to cover your mouth again? And he can’t hear you anyway. There’s an invisible wall, but I opened it just for you.â€? He smiled wickedly at me.
