Jon had just found a safe place for Karyn; who was still in the form of a deer. A brushy spot at the back of a park with plenty of places to hide and tender leaves for Karyn to nibble on. And a small creek if she was thirsty. Though she didn't seem inclined to take advantage of either.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
She shivered, glancing nervously towards the street.
"You're afraid?"
She nodded.
"I wish we would know if someone or something was about to come after us."
There was the usual 'look away' reaction; then a sort of virtual radar screen appeared in front of Jon. Showing Ms. Ogletree exiting the library on her broom and heading towards them. A line of text scrolled through air below the screen. 'Witch wants rock to enhance her own power.'
Jon and Karyn looked into each others' eyes, then he held up the rock. "I wish the witch would hit a brick wall."
Ms Ogletree felt her broom wrench from her control; making a sharp right turn. She saw the wall of a warehouse coming at her just in time to conjure a magical shield around herself.
BOOM! Suddenly the interior of the warehouse was showered with flying bricks from the fresh ten foot circular hole in the wall.
CRASH! Ms Ogletree slammed through a window at the back of the warehouse, spraying broken glass across an alley. But as she exited the building she felt control of the broom return to her.
