Chapter ten: Sidney Fields
“I need the wisps on my side Nate,” Sidney complained.
“I know but there’s no way they’ll listen to a human.”
He’s right Wisps hate humans, but it makes no sense Sidney should be one of them!
“I don’t get it how am I human?” she voiced out loud.
“Have you considered the possibility that Aaron isn’t your biological father?”
Sidney sighed; she has entertained that thought more than she was proud of.
“Ok it’s possible I agree but if it was even remotely true than not only do I no longer have his name to throw around at will but that’s also more of a reason for the wisps not to trust me.”
“You need someone powerful on your side.”
“Like who? Ryder won’t do it he already has his own powerful band of wisps,” she complained.
“You’re right and even if he didn’t, he would never give you control, besides we need someone stronger than Ryder, someone the wisps don’t know, first impressions are everything no one would willingly fall under Ryder’s control.”
Who is strong enough to gather and help her lead a band of wisps? Someone the wisps don’t know? And they have to be a wisp themselves.
“What about Hank? Ryder said he’s a wisp and he’s most defiantly good at first impressions he’s had a lot of practice with it.”
“Ok, but can you trust Hank?”
“No but I can get him to trust me, besides we’re only using him.”
“Are you sure about this?” he asked hesitantly.
“No, but what other choice do I have?”
“You do know that there is someone out there targeting wisps and draining them of their power don’t you?”
“Yes, I’m aware.”
“Then what are you going to do about it?”
“Why do I have to do anything?” Sidney asked confused.
“With everything that’s been going on the wisps won’t be so trusting,” Nate informed.
“Yea, but how am I supposed to know who’s behind this?”
“Just…don’t be so quick to rule anyone out,” he warned.
Sidney sighed, “This is more than I bargained for,” she huffed.
“It looks to be that way sometimes, but it’ll all be worth it,” Nate reminded her.
