Chapter 39: Pursuance

James found himself once again within the forest that contained Lavant Manor. Running past a quickly moving car, he made it to the front steps and crashed his way through the front door.

Stumbling slightly to the stairs he ignored the doorman again and burst into Edwin’s room, “Edwin!” But he gasped and came to a halt seeing a vacant bed with a passed out Jamie on the floor.

He ran over to Jamie’s side and plucked the dart from his arm before pulling a small bag from his pocket and pulling some smelling salts out, cracking it under Jamie’s nose. He flinched back when Jamie lurched forwards and growled at James.

“James… what the f*ck… Edwin!” Jamie’s head snapped to the bed and he gasped. “They took him.”

“Who took him?” James asked with such worry, afraid he was too late.

Jamie then looked around again, frantic. “Lily- where’s Lily?”

“Jamie please! I need to know what happened here.” James said as he grabbed Jamie’s shoulder and made him turn back towards him.
