Fates Hands novel Chapter 70

Chapter 5–Book 2

####WARNING LAUNGUAGE AND SITUATIONS###

Nova fell asleep almost as soon as she laid down, the stress and physical workout tired her out. She didn’t stay asleep for long though, nightmares started to creep in about that shed.

Then nightmares about the people all over looking for their ears and eyes. Each nightmare was worse than the last one. Then the final nightmare, was where James was holding her ears out for her, so she could choose a spot on his wall for him to hang them.

Each time she tried to sleep, they’d pop in and she would scream, till finally she just laid there and rested.

5:08

She knew with the lack of sleep, things were not going to go as smoothly as they did today. She will get tired a lot more. There was nothing she could do though but to press onward.

When morning came she was a mess, at least though she was still dry and the rain had stopped.

She drank some water and had a hand full of trail mix she made. After packing everything up again, she was off into the forest again.

Again something was driving her to go a certain direction, she was a little too tired to care, as long as it was the opposite direction of her house she was ok with it. I

As it turned out it was also the direction she needed to get over the mountains to that town. The sun had

come out for a little bit and then hid behind the clouds again. It was alright as long as it didn’t rain for a little while.

She was hoping to find a small stream and catch some dinner. Have a nice small fire and relax. She found some wild blueberries and they made a delightful lunch along with her trail mix.

Just as she was about to go looking for the stream she could hear water running, it sounded like a waterfall. Yes, she said to no one. Maybe a bath as well.

Maggi Snyder waited for Nova at the crossroads for about 20 minutes. She decided that it was best to go to work, she had a feeling that Nova was on the verge of running away.

Nova had left a note in her mailbox. Telling her if she didn’t show up for work to just go on without her. Maggi wasn’t sure what to do, so she waited just in case Nova chickened out or something else stopped her from going.

When she didn’t show Maggi was happy, Nova finally decided it was time to go, good for her. Her mother Kathy was a piece of shit and her stepfather was the rest of the shit pile. 2

When Maggi pulled up to the motel, there was a new guest in cabin three. She wondered what kind of guest they had this time, it was usually the seedy type looking for a place to hide for a few days.

This car though looked more like an official car, like a law enforcement official. Well, well she thought,

perhaps the local craptastic Sheriff is in for a little surprise. Maybe finally he will be investigated.

Perhaps she might run into their guest and give him a little information, she has been saving for the right occasion.

Brutus and Jack were sniffing out a pine tree, someone had been under it, perhaps sheltering from the rain. They couldn’t pick up an exact scent to tell them anything. Whoever they were they were careful.

Even the tracks that were left behind, didn’t tell them much, there wasn’t a scent at all on them. The tracks themselves were visible only here and there. They were also in places where they would disappear in a short while, by the litter of the forest floor.

Whoever they were they were light, perhaps a female or a young male. They decided to see if they could follow them. It wasn’t long before the trail was gone. Brutus sat down frustrated, it had been a long time since someone could elude him.

As they were sitting there thinking about their next move, Brutus’s stomach let out a mighty growl, it was then that they realized that they hadn’t eaten in quite a while. Jack remembered a stream that went through here close by and a waterfall with a pool. D

It was good fishing, Brutus licked his lips in anticipation. They headed that way at a fast but silent pace, just in case the mystery person was around.

When they got to the waterfall area though they discovered that the

mystery person wasn’t a mystery anymore. There was a female and she was swimming naked in their fishing
