Original X-roads-2003

    Sertoff looked back at her and called out, “Why are you here?”
    “Jonothan kicked me out.” Mesiaha crossed her arms.
    Sertoff narrowed his eyes, “Where’s Jasylin, Jamie, and your sister?”
    “Jonothan still has Zariaha, but Mark took Jas and Jamie.” Mesiaha shifted her weight and looked at Gartan.
    Gartan didn’t seem to even hear their conversation.
    Mesiaha could feel the rage radiate off Sertoff, she shifted her sight to look at him. There was a white glow all around him, like an aura.
    Sertoff gritted his teeth, and began to breathe in controlled slow breaths. “Mark has Jas?” he repeated in an even cool tone.
    Mesiaha knew he was anything but cool. Mesiaha drew in a deep breath. No weapon she had and no training she had ever received would help her deflect any attack Sertoff made on her right now. She set her arms at her side to prepare for anything she might have to do, though run would probably be her only option. Assuming you can run from a teleporter.
    Sertoff narrowed his eyes til they were almost slits, “No you are right, there is no reason to take this out on you. You had nothing to do with it.” The glow stopped as Sertoff turned his back to everyone. “You’re just the messenger.”, he said calmly as he walked away.
