The Genesis Project Prophecy of the Seven by C.L. De Leon Page B

and Blaine listened.
    Jasper bent his bead whispering in my ear. “You shot it with lightening blasting it into nothing.” I shivered I felt his lips brush across my ear briefly, oh my.
    “She shouldn’t have been able to do that,” Jasper told Ben and the others standing around listening to what we were saying.
    “I know boy, I know.” he smiled.
    “Come on, let’s go back under the tent in the shade and try and teach this girl how to shoot bow ,” Ben said laughing.
    Blaine came up on my right as we walked behind Ben. Jasper put his arm around my shoulder. I ducked out from it giving him an apologetic smile.
    “So, how did you sleep?” Blaine asked.
    “Ehh, not great, better than in the Jeep though that’s for sure, I kept having dreams and waking up. You?” I asked him.
    “Like a rock , we laughed.
    Jasper looked at me with a nod and his crooked grin and jogged off to catch up with Ben.
    “So you and this dude already, or were you going to keep with him till you ran into the guy from the gas station?” Blaine asked in a whispered threatening tone.
    I stopped dead where I was standing turning to face him. “Who do you think you are?” I asked pointing my finger at his chest.
    “Do you think you’re my boyfriend or are you just the relationship police? Because if I remember correctly you broke up with me, or have you forgotten that? I can take up with whomever I choose to or entertain the company of anyone I want. Do not think for one second that you destroyed me when you ended our relationship. Blaine we were friends who “dated” because we were too afraid to be hurt. It was convenient. You know that as well as I do. You love me, just like I love you…as a friend and nothing else. We should try to get along considering we’re a part of this prophesied super hero club that’s destined to save the world.” I turned and walked to where Jasper, Ben and another guy were standing. I smiled as I walked up letting them know everything was okay and no it wasn’t an open topic.
    “Reighlyn, Luke, Luke, Reighlyn ,” Jasper said.
    I shook his extended hand. He was young. “This is the Luke you told me about?” I asked Jasper.
    “One and the same,” he said. “But he’s just a boy, no offense,” I said to him.
    Ben smiled. “Each of you were chosen for specific reason, each unique and complementing each other. Let’s find you a bow you can pull ,” Ben said looking over some different bows he had on a table at the end of the tent.
     
     

CHAPTER 16
     
     
    “We’re almost there Avie ,” Garrett called out noticing she was walking further behind him rather than next to him again.
    They had to take a roundabout way getting to the caves. Trying to conceal their true direction, Garrett knew the General had precog’s but they were weak, only getting flashes and not whole pictures, but that doesn’t mean the Militia hadn’t secured stronger precog’s, better safe than sorry.
    Garrett and Avril had drove West from Texarkana abandoning the truck in Amarillo, and picking up another, heading South on 40 to El Paso, picking up another car and abandoning the one they had and so on until they reached San Angelo.
    From there they walked. They passed shells of what used to be a neighborhood, the majority of the city was gone completely, and what was still there was a mere shell, rubble that was over grown by forest growth the land was being terraformed to erase civilization.
    The Militia planned to make a new world, one the Militia planned to shape in their eyes.
    They wanted to erase everything or as much as they could, which included those who refused their vision and ways. Garrett knew of the prophecy, he was raised knowing that his life was meant to serve a purpose.
    His family had been the protectors of the prophecy for as far back as any of them could remember.
    “Garrett, how far?” Avril asked.
    “Just a few more hours I think ,” he told her, just a few more hours, and then they could
