Kathrin’s POV

“Swimming?” Jacques replied with a bemused expression as we tore across Canada. I didn’t hear Jack’s thoughts anywhere behind us, but I wanted to keep running just for distance’s sake.

I laughed lightly at his confusion, deciding to clarify. “I’ve always wanted to visit Asia,” I said, a smile crossing my face. “Would you like to come with me?” Of course if he didn’t want to go then I wouldn’t either. I wasn’t about to tell him that though and pressure him into it.

“Hmm…” He stared ahead in a speculative manner for a few seconds as we ran. “Sure. Sounds fun. One of our coven members is actually living in Japan right now if you want to stop there first.”

“Perfect,” I said with a grin. That was a serious understatement.

Another advantage to traveling by sea was that it would be impossible for anyone to follow our trail. It didn’t take very long for us to reach the Pacific Ocean. “So, is shark blood very appetizing?” I asked jokingly as we stared out at the great expanse of water before us.

“I guess we’ll just have to find out,” Jacques said with a soft chuckle. “First we need to get our bearing straight though. If we just swim straight west then we’ll hit Russia instead of Japan.”

“Eh, I’m guessing that we’ll probably need to swim about fifteen degrees south of west,” I replied, looking over the ocean with scrutiny. “In any case, if we miss Japan then we can just get directions there from wherever we end up.”

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jacques’ POV

“True,” I replied with a nod, glancing up at the sun to decide just which way that might be. Hmm, we’ll definitely need new clothes once we arrive. Good thing my wallet is completely waterproof. “Well, I’m ready when you are.” Kathrin nodded in response. With that we dove off into the ocean.

The Pacific’s frigid waters didn’t affect us much, seeing as we were just about as cool as they. We easily battled our way through swells and ocean currents that would have been far too powerful for any human to overtake. Yet, we still had quite a long distance to go. That being said, I decided to start up some conversation with Kathrin. So, what’s the full story behind that Jack fellow anyway? I got that he changed you, but that’s pretty much it.
