Chapter 1~ Our First Meeting
I didn't believe in destiny. I couldn't. But I now believe thanks to Vincent Keller. He saved my life, he was there when my mother was killed only I didn't know it until a short time ago. Little did I know what a ride I was in for with Mr. Keller. We met after I found him following me one night. I was just getting off duty and on my way to my apartment I shared with my sister Heather.
"Who is there?" I said into the night behind me.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you. You don't need to pull out your gun Catherine." a male voice said.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"I'm the one that saved you all those years ago. I've been keeping tabs on you to see how you're doing." the man said stepping out of the shadows.
"You've been doing what? How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"Look at my face. I know you remember. You said a beast saved you." the man said.
"It was you. Why did you save me?" I asked in disbelief.
"I couldn't let them kill you too. You're so innocent, you didn't need to be killed for what your mother knew."
"Then why would you follow me around for 9 years?" I asked.
"I wanted to make sure the people that killed your mother weren't going to come after
you."
"Why won't you show your face to me? I would like to know who you are."
"My name is Vincent Keller. I'm not going to tell you what happened right now because it may not be safe. Is there any place that we can talk?"
"Not tonight. I'm tired. But is there anyway I can reach you? I think I'm free tomorrow..." I trailed off at the look on Vincent's face.
"Meet me out by the abandoned warehouse around 5:15 p.m. and make sure you're not followed by anyone and don't let anyone know where you're going." Vincent said then disappearing into the darkness.
"Wow. That was interesting." I said to myself as I walked the rest of the way to my apartment.
