Chapter 40 - Emma's Questions

Emma Evans POV

Victoria dropped me behind a big tree when the loud bangs started.

"Stay here and don't move," she whispered, breathing hard from running. "I'll be right back."

But I could hear scary sounds coming from where we left Mommy. People were yelling and there were bright lights flashing through the trees like lightning. My tummy felt sick because I knew those sounds meant trouble.

I wanted to cry, but tears made my magic act up. And when my magic acted up, bad things happened.

"Mommy?" I whispered to the dark woods.

Victoria came back fast, her face white like she'd seen a ghost. "Emma, we have to keep running."

"I want my mommy!"

"I know, sweetheart. But right now we need to hide."

She picked me up again and we ran deeper into the forest. I could hear helicopters flying overhead with their loud chopping sounds. The bright lights kept moving back and forth between the trees.

"Why are they looking for me?" I asked Victoria.
