The encounter - Quantum Fold Chapter 1/ 8
A girl, about Adrienne’s age, sat at the next table—though she hadn’t been there when Adrienne arrived. Dark-haired and intense, she leaned in and whispered again, “Did you activate the device?”
Adrienne swallowed hard. “What do you mean?”
“The device. Did it vibrate and glow?”
Adrienne’s pulse hammered against her ribs. Who was this girl? Where had she come from? Her voice cracked as she admitted, “Yes… I didn’t mean to…”
A faint, knowing smile flickered across the girl’s face. She scanned the room before finally murmuring, “I’m Kayla. I’m a friend. We need to talk.”
Adrienne’s wide-eyed gaze met Kayla’s. “About?”
Kayla hesitated, her eyes darting across the pub. “You’ve been watched, haven’t you?”
Adrienne nodded. “Yes—a man. Maybe more than one. What do they want?”
Kayla moved next to Adrienne and slid close, her voice barely audible. “They want you. And the device. When you activated it, they knew for certain—you’re one of us.”
Adrienne stiffened. “One of us? What does that mean?”
Kayla’s whisper was urgent. “Only certain people can activate the device—people with an extremely rare bloodline. They can’t use it themselves, so they need one of us.”
She paused, then suddenly tensed. “They are here. You’re being hunted”
Adrienne swallowed. “Where?”
Kayla didn’t look—she didn’t dare. “The bartender. Don’t turn around.”
Adrienne shook her head. “No—that’s Steve. I dated him.”
Kayla’s voice was tight. “They shapeshift. That is not the person you know. There are others. We need to get out of here. Quick, follow me to the ladies’ room.”
Inside, Kayla gripped Adrienne’s wrist. “We must leave. NOW. Hold my hand. Do NOT let go.”
Less than a second later, the restroom door burst open.
“Steve” emitted a primal howl in frustration. The girls had vanished.
