Chapter 13

Finding nothing, Wisp first concentrated on the truck, engulfing it in a mist. He smelled cheap aftershave and a scent Wisp always associated with Stephanie. But the truck was empty except for a feather on the floorboards. At some point Blue Bird had been in the truck. Suddenly the doors of the truck locked. Wisp spread himself even thinner and escaped through the smallest crack in the window.

He was not going to be surprised again. His anger rose and he noticed the air around him became charged with lightning like flashes around him. This was new. Could it be from the electrical charge in his last encounter? He felt the increased energy build and suddenly he felt the energy burst from his hands in the direction of the building.

The energy blast blew a hole in the side of the building and the Wisp went in, astonished, and still with anger building. He would have to address the energy bursts and the anger with Madame when he returned, but right now, he needed to find Stephanie.
