Epilogue

He came at me, grabbing me roughly, forcing me to look straight into his eyes, cold and merciless, they traced over me, taking in my features like a hungry lion eying up his prey, "you look a lot like her" he said referring to my mom "almost an exact copy of how she looked when I first met her", I didn't understand what he meant by that, and before I could figure it out he had grabbed a handful of my hair and used it to yank my head round, I felt his fingers trace across the burns on my neck but they were not mean and hurting, it was gently and almost comforting and that was what scared me.

"you have been through so much my sweetheart" he murmured "I am proud of you for being so strong", I struggled to get away, I wanted to get as far away from him as possible "you were so brave my sweetheart" he said "how do you know anything about me" I spat, he smiled and released me, instantly I fell back to the other girls crouching on the floor looking terrified and turned defensively to look at him "because my lovely after I was asked to kill your mom, I looked you up, I found out what horrors you had been through, oh I was mad my darling, so mad, I learned that your mom had managed to get the guy locked up" he smiled "I did one better honey, I made him really suffer for what he did to you" I stared at him as he beamed proudly.

"Tyler Paige didn't even see it coming sweetie, he was living his life in prison quite happily, he shouldn't have been happy after what he did to you after he destroyed your life" "what did you do" I gasped as he grinned wickedly at me, I didn't want to hear what was coming next, because I knew I wouldn't like it. "I waited until he came out into the yard" he said and the smile widened "then I put a bullet through his brain"

I let out a choking gasp of horror and turned away from him, I didn't know what was going on, first he tried to kill my mom, now he was saying he killed the man who tortured me "why aren't you happy" he asked, "I made sure he can never hurt you again, your mother just locked him up, he would have escaped and come after you again sweetheart, I made sure that he won't"

I looked at him and there were tears welling in my eyes "why" I screamed "why did you do that" he smiled again, "because I had to" he said, I looked at him "who is it that you want out of the three of us" I asked and I could already guess the answer, he smiled "you of course my dear" he said, and I felt the other two stiffen in surprise on either side of her, I stared at him "why" I asked trying not to allow her voice to tremble, he looked at her, "your mother never told you about me" he asked, I stared, "my mom knew you" I said in surprise, no it couldn't be true, my mom knew the sniper "oh yes" he said "she knew me very well when we were both young 18 year olds"

"I don't believe you" I said with as much venom as I could muster in my voice, he laughed "oh we did, I knew her so well, she really was something special honey, so amazing, I was stunned by her all the time, she had so much spark and attitude to her, she turned heads wherever she went, and she was mine" I stared at him horrified and disgusted "god yes she and I… oh wait you're too young to hear about that" he laughed wickedly and I felt a thrill of fear rush through her, no it couldn't be true, no it wasn't true, "her mother never trusted me though, ah Johanna Beckett, rest in peace, she never liked me at all, I know that frustrated your mom a lot, she wanted her mother's acceptance, but she never got it, at least not when it came to me, I guess though her mother was right about me in the end"

I stared at him, no he couldn't be telling the truth, but there was no hint of a lie in his eyes as he stared at me, then he bent down reaching out to run his fingers through my hair, but I pulled away not wanting him any closer "come now my darling" he said looking at her, "no" I spat "I am not 'your darling' leave me alone" he stood up and stared at me "do the math sweetheart" he said calmly "I met your mother not long after her 18th birthday, you were born a few months before her 19th birthday"

I stared at him, and felt the other two freeze on either side of me, and my breath caught in my throat as I stared at him "no" I whispered, no it couldn't be true, no he was lying "no, no, no, no, no" he smiled "sorry sweetheart but yes" he said, he stood over me smiling triumphantly,

"It is nice to meet you at long last Olivia" he said, then he uttered those two words that sent a chill through my veins and filled me with horror

"My daughter"

Livie jerked awake gasping and crying out, she sat up sharply, shivering and rocking herself backwards and forwards trying desperately to comfort herself, she felt tears in her eyes as she remembered her nightmare, almost a year ago that had happened now, a year ago and the nightmares still plagued her, coming when she least expected it and there was nothing she could do to prevent them.

She slowly stood up and moved over to the window, opening the curtains and pushing the window open breathing in the cool autumn night air that rushed in, she looked at the clock on her bedside table and groaned, 2am, she was never going to get back to sleep, not now, not after that dream. Slowly she slipped over to her bed and sat down leaning against the pillows as she thought.

It had been two years since her first incident that had scarred her back forever and she still dreamed about that one too, she was 15 now and still barely holding herself together, she wished that she could figure out how to move on.

She stared into space thinking and her thoughts drifted to her time in DC, and eventually to the psychologist Lance Sweets, the last time he had seen her was when she had gone to DC to visit April and Tali, he had asked her how she was and she told him she still dreamed, and was terrified, he told her that if she wanted to stop being scared she would have to stand up to her demons and show them that she wasn't afraid. She sighed and looked at the picture of her and her mom both smiling at the camera, her mom was the only one who truly understood what she had been through in that basement the second time round, she knew that her mom still dreamed too, they were usually triggered by Livie's dreams, that night or the next her mom's sleep would be terrorised by her fears.

She wanted her nightmares to stop, but not just for herself, she wanted them to stop so that her mom could move on too, she had been through enough already too, she wanted to do something to stop her demons terrorising her and her mom.

So it was time to stand up to them fight, and that was what she was going to do, but how did she stand up to these demons? She thought; the people who had kidnapped her were either dead or locked up and there was no way anyone would let her visit a prison on her own, not that she really wanted to. Then she remembered after her first kidnapping, how little things had set her off, doing things had made her remember. Slowly she sat up, that was it, she would have to set off her memories and face them down.

Livie looked at the picture of her mom and sighed, then she moved over to her closet and quiet as a mouse she tugged on some clothes, she didn't really have to worry about making noise, Alexis had left for college now, and her mom and Rick slept downstairs now, but she had to be careful, she didn't want anyone to know what she was doing.

She placed some things in a rucksack picked up her sneakers before she quietly opened her bedroom door and crept down the stairs, slowly she slipped her shoes on before creeping across the living room and pushing the door to her parent's bedroom open slight peering in. She could see the two sleeping forms, her mom pressed tightly against her adoptive father who held her protectively in his arms, his face was peaceful but her mom was mumbling in her sleep, as she did when she was having a nightmare.

Livie looked at her before she whispered "I am doing this for you mom, I love you" then she closed the door and slipped back to the kitchen, reaching for a pad and a pen, she wrote a quick note to her mom before she took her coat out of the cupboard and picked up her keys, and quietly unlocked the door slipping out before locking it again. Once that was done she sighed and leaned against the wall opposite their door, her mom and Rick had their wedding anniversary coming up in a couple of months, her mom and spent the first year of their marriage trying to care for her traumatised daughter, Livie wanted their second year of marriage to be more about the two of them, together, she wanted them both to be completely and undeniably happy.

Slowly she made her way down the stairs not wanting the elevator to waken the entire building, the doorman looked at her confused when she came into the lobby "hello Miss Castle" he said "what are you doing up" he narrowed his eyes at her, seeing the bag on her back "you aren't running away are you" she smiled "no Joe I am not running away, I am going to see my horse Skye, I would never run away, I love my family" he eyed her again "why do you need to go see your horse at half two in the morning" he asked "I couldn't sleep, don't worry I called our drivers and they are sending someone to pick me up" she gazed at him innocently, she was a good little liar she had been told and now was the time to put that to the test, Joe sighed "alright then, do you want me to come out and wait with you for the car"

Livie smiled sweetly "No thank you Joe, you stay here and do your job, the car is picking me up at the end of the road anyway, see you later ok" he nodded and settled back into his chair "don't you fall off that horse Miss Castle" he called as she opened the door, she smiled at him over her shoulder "I won't Joe I promise" she waved before slipping out of the building and shutting the door, she instantly zipped her coat up as she walked down the road, 'ok' she thought 'where first'? she headed down the road thinking before she decided and headed towards her school, when she was there she walked past before breaking into a gentle run towards the park, she ducked in before standing there, she hadn't come back to this park, she hadn't been here since she was torn away from her mom here, two years ago.

She waited for the memories to hit her but they didn't, she thought before looking over at the bushes, then she ran over and ducked into them curling up in a small space bringing her knees to her chest before burying her head into them and closing her eyes, instantly the memories hit her.

The man, he had grabbed her, but she had got away, the chase to the park, sobbing to her mom to come rescue her, hiding in the bushes. Running towards her mother frantically, the van. More men, grabbing her, pulling her towards the van, a needle being injected into her arm, gunfire, and her limbs to heavy. The world going black as she lay on her side seeing her mother running towards her screaming, screaming her name. Then nothing.

Livie let out another choking gasp as the visions appeared, almost suffocating her in their intensity, the park, the basement, the docks, all terrifying memories, she clenched her fists angrily, these men couldn't hurt her any more, there was nothing to be afraid of, she would be fine, instead of crying and trying to get away from her memories she forced herself to sit there and let the memories hit her, trying to brake her, she could feel herself trembling but she refused to let any tears come dribbling down her cheeks.

It felt like hours later when the memories finally stopped and she slowly opened her eyes, everything was as silent as it had been when she had arrived, slowly she uncurled her limbs, stiff from being clenched for so long, she crawled out of the bush and took a deep breath, that was when she realised that it felt better, the weight on her shoulders had lessened a bit, her load of demons was lighter.

She gave a small smile, it was better, but still not enough, what else could she do?, she thought back to last night, of her nightmare and she realised that her second kidnapping had been the worse, physically the first one had been more painful but mentally the second one had been worse, and it kept coming back to haunt her mind not her body, her marks no longer pained her as they had once, now it was only the memories that hurt.

She had to go to DC to face her other nightmares, but how? Slowly she pulled out her phone and checked the buses travelling to DC, there was one leaving soon, hopefully she would make it, she hoisted her bag back onto her back and ran out of the park, ready to continue her fight.

Kate woke up when her alarm started ringing loudly, she heard Rick moan and she mumbled too as she groped around on the bedside table until she found the alarm clock and she switched off the awful ringing, once it had stopped she placed the clock back on the table and sighed closing her eyes again.

She felt a smile slip onto her face as Rick's arms snake around her pulling her back against his chest "stay in bed with me today Katherine Castle" he breathed kissing her neck, she smirked before turning her head to kiss him "as much as I would love to I can't really catch killers from bed can I", he gave a sigh and kissed her again "five more minutes then", Kate smiled "no" she said "Livie will be up soon" "ah yes" he said and reluctantly released her and swinging himself out of bed and heading for the en suit for a shower as Kate moved to her wardrobe and pulled out her clothes slipping into them before opening the door and moving into the kitchen, to her surprise she heard the sound of Livie's alarm blaring on and on and no movement from her daughters room.

She moved up the stairs confused and pushed the door to her daughter's room open saying "Livie would you like to turn that off" before stopping and staring in confusion at her daughters empty room "Livie" she called thinking she might be in the bathroom but there was no answer.

She checked all the rooms before hurrying down the stairs where she spotted a piece of paper on the counter, she moved over and lifted it up recognising Livie's handwriting as she read what her daughter had written;

Hey

I couldn't sleep last night after a bad dream so I got up early and decided to go see Skye, she helps, I will catch the bus to school from the yard and then back afterwards for my lesson and a hack.

Don't worry about me, I am fine, I promise things are getting better, we won't be sad forever mom.

Love you lots

Livie xx

Kate frowned at that last part, she stared at the note for a few minutes before she set it down slowly and put the kettle on, moving around the kitchen thinking until Rick came out of the shower dressed but his hair still wet, he looked around the empty kitchen in confusion "where's Livs" he asked, silently Kate handed him the note and watched him as he read it, then he looked at her "what" he asked and Kate shrugged.

"I am guessing she had a bad dream and decided to go see Skye" she said "hopefully just Skye and not her boyfriend" Rick said, Kate rolled her eyes "aw come on Rick it has been nearly a year now" he looked at her "well I am fine when she see's him occasionally but recently it has been like all the time" she gave him a look "their horses are stabled at the same place Rick" she reminded him "what do you want me to do, stop her seeing her horse, which you did buy her" "oh yeah" he said "she is a sensible girl Rick and I am pretty sure Alex doesn't get up this early for a ride, I don't think any teenage boy does" "true" he said.

Kate moved over and kissed him gently "I am sure she is fine" she said softly looking at him "now are you coming to work with me or are you writing" she asked "hmm" he said "work with you me thinks" she smiled "in that case I will treat you to breakfast on the way" "ooo" he said "though cant we just have another five minutes in bed" she swatted him on the arm and finished her coffee before leading him out of the apartment as he laughed.

The ticket seller eyed Livie uncertainly when she asked for a ticket to DC "why you going to DC" he asked "to visit my family" she lied "why at 3am" he asked, she smiled weakly "spur of the moment trip" "do your parents know" he asked, she nodded "yes they know, I cleared it with them before I left, I could call them if you like though they might not be too happy about being woken up again" she pulled out her phone and slowly pressed a few buttons before looking at him, he sighed "don't bother" he muttered "they might as well enjoy being allowed to sleep"

He printed out her ticket and she paid for it before heading over the Greyhound bus she was directed to and settling into a seat, she didn't have to wait long for the bus to pull away, there were very few people on the bus, mostly tired looking business men who pulled out their laptops and worked away ignoring the teenage girl sitting on her own, she watched the scenery go flashing by, she was exhausted but didn't want to fall asleep until she was sure she had sorted her fears out.

She reached into her bag and pulled out her favourite book and opened it, the four hour journey went by quickly thanks to the book and her music.

When she arrived in DC it was 8.30 am and the city was waking up and people were heading off to work, she slowly jumped off the bus and moved into the city, hungry she stopped for some breakfast in a small diner, she was picking her way through the food when her phone chimed and she saw she had a text from her mom.

'hey kiddo, u ok? How's Skye, what u doing now'

Livie thought carefully before she responded.

'hey mom, I am fine, don't worry, Skye was great, happy to see me, I gave her a really good groom before letting her in the field, Carrie offered to make me breakfast when she saw how early I arrived so now I am eating before running to catch the bus, don't know what time I will be back tonight, don't wait up, love you xx'

Her mom's response was cautious but not suspicious 'ok, call if u need anything honey and be safe love you too kiddo xx'

Livie carefully slipped her phone back into her pocket and finished her food, leaving the money on the table before slipping out, she had decided to retrace some of their steps in DC and she knew where to start.

It wasn't a very long walk from the diner to the reflecting pool, slowly she walked along next to it, remembering walking down here with Alexis, giggling and talking whilst their parents walked along behind them at a leisurely pace, she slowly turned and headed down the path before stopping, then she looked at the ground in front of her, nobody else here knew it, but right there on the ground a man had died, taken his last choking breath before everything went black, his life ended before it should by one man who thought he could play god. One man who also happened to be her biological father.

People walked by not giving her a second look, not knowing that they were walking over a spot that had been stained in blood once. She looked up at the buildings surrounding the area trying to judge where he had taken the shot from, she jerked as there was a bang from behind and a different type of painful memory engulfed her...

The crack of a gun echoed around the cemetery, Livie saw her mom's eyes widen and she let out a gasp as the bullet buried itself in her chest, then Rick had knocked her backwards off of her feet.

"mom" she screamed, as she fell to the ground beside her, her mom gasped, eyelids fluttering, they were wider now sudden panic filling her "no mom please" Livie sobbed, she placed her hand over the bullet wound feeling hot blood soak her fingers "you promised it would always be us together, always and forever, don't break your promise I didn't last year" her mom managed to raise a hand to her and she caught it, sobbing.

Rick pulling her against his chest hugging her as she cried, he was gazing at her mom, pain in his eyes, but he still tried to comfort her, "I love you mom" she whispered still begging for her mom to speak to let them know that she was ok really and that she would pull through this.

But her mom's breath was coming in short sharp gasps and they were gradually getting weaker "please mom don't leave me" Livie begged, she felt Rick tighten his grip on her, as they watched her mom gaze at them desperately, then her eyes slowly closed.

Livie screamed, she screamed to her mom to wake up, she screamed to her to not leave her, she begged and begged, then she felt Rick stand and take her shoulder but she shrugged away from him angrily, still clutching her mom's now limp form, then he put his hands under her shoulders and pulled her up ignoring her struggles as Lanie fell to the ground beside her mother, her hands replacing Livie's as an ambulance appeared and her mom was lifted onto a stretcher and driven away with sirens screaming.

Livie bit back a sob, the pain she had felt watching her mom fade away had been overwhelming, not knowing if she would be ok, "she was ok" she whispered to herself "she is ok and she is always going to be ok, we all are", she moved over to a seat and sat down on it waiting until she had calmed down, that was when she realised her phone was ringing, she pulled it out and looked at the name flashing on the screen – Alex calling. She hit decline, right now she didn't want to talk to her boyfriend, she wanted to keep going and pull herself free of the demons whose clawing hands tried to keep hold of her, but with every fear she faced, another demon would be forced to relinquish its hold over her, and she wouldn't stop until the last one let go.

She wondered round DC not really paying attention to where she was going, she stopped to buy food once but ate on the way to her next stop which was the field where the little fair that she, Tali and April had gone to, she sat on the bench remembering how they had sat here and laughed, trying to forget about their stressed parents and it had worked until Tali's dad had called her panicking, shouting at them to run, they had tried, twice, they had tried to get back to the crowds but had been stopped, they had tried to run again, but the only way they could run was into the forest.

Livie looked at the trees behind her before she stood and ran towards them rushing through the trees, once again the branches lashed at her and she felt them tear her skin, she felt the same adrenaline she had felt that night coarse through her as she fought her way through thickets that clung at her hair, she ran until a root sent her sprawling to the ground and she lay there gasping as she remembered.

There was shouting and April and I dropped to the ground hiding between the roots of a tree, a small dark shape rushed past and we both hissed out to her, she turned and relief was written across her face, then she looked up and it was replaced by fear, she looked at us and then gave a small smile, illuminated by the little light that the moon gave us, we stared at her in horror, shaking our heads frantically but she looked determined, 'run' she mouthed then she turned and fled.

I tried to leap up after her but my other friend held me down, her hand over my mouth as more dark shapes rushed past us, there was silence, then three loud cracks that made us flinch, they seemed even louder than they should be in the silent forest, listening hard we heard a muffled thump and then the sound of our attackers cheering. We stared at each other in horror "no not Tali" I whispered, shock and fear consuming me, Tali was the strongest out of the three of us, she couldn't have been captured, but she had.

We weren't safe there, so we leapt up and stumbled away. We stayed close together, determined not to be separated again, for fear of capture, we moved as silently as possible through the dark trees, looking desperately for an escape, a friendly light, a gap in the trees, anything. But there was nothing.

Suddenly from behind there was shouting and before we could stumble more than a few steps, there was a crack, April groaned, and then staggered before falling, a dart in her side, "April" I gasped terrified falling to my knees beside her, "run" she gasped. I looked over my shoulder, in what little light there was I saw our abductors moving towards us, one of which I could see was holding a limp figure slung over his shoulder. Tali. "Livie" April gasped, her voice was beginning to slur "run", there was a shout as one of the men spotted me still standing.

But I didn't move. So I stood there frozen to the spot, trembling, strong arms grabbed me, a cloth was placed over my mouth and nose, but I didn't fight, I began to feel dizzy as I breathed in whatever was on the cloth, the world swayed and my body went limp as I fell to the floor, then the world went black.

Livie rolled over gasping in terror looking around wildly for danger, she could almost hear the snaps and cracks of braking branches and the rustle of leaves as she was stalked, she jerked as cracks echoed in her mind and she let out a cry of fright scrambling backwards until she sat at the base of a tree, she pressed herself against it trembling feeling incontrollable tears slide down her cheeks 'I can't do this anymore' she thought terrified, she sat there breathing hard until she felt someone touch her shoulder.

She recoiled away with a small shriek leaping to her feet preparing to flee "whoa easy kid" the man said "easy, it's ok, I won't hurt you, I just wanted to make sure you were ok" she stared at him eyes wide and he frowned "hey are you ok, do you need me to call someone for you" he asked. Livie felt the fear lessen slightly when she saw the genuine concern in his eyes "no" she said "no... thank you... I am fine", he frowned "you don't look ok kid, what are you doing out here anyway", Livie didn't answer at first, she concentrated on slowing her breathing "I... was... clearing my mind, getting rid of my fears" the man eyed her, slowly she managed to look him in the eye "I appreciate your concern but really I am fine now, have a good day" and with that she turned and fled out of the clearing ignoring him calling her back.

She ran out not stopping until a blaring horn bought her back to reality, she looked over to see a van skidding towards her and she cried out in terror at the sight of it before leaping clear and bolting again, eventually she stopped and looked around staring in surprise when she realised where she was, the little ally she had run to from the docks after her flashback, somehow she had managed to find her way here again.

The docks... of course, she had completely forgotten about them, a terrifying memory indeed, she looked at her watch and saw that somehow it was 3pm, she hadn't realised how much time had passed, she pulled out her phone and saw she had another missed call from Alex and a text from her friends at school, asking if she was ok, she didn't bother responding to either, she just picked up her bag again and pulled her hood up noticing that it had started to rain. Then she set off again to rid herself of another demon.

April Booth was driving along listening to Libby chattering away to her, she hadn't been driving that long, she had only passed her test a couple of weeks ago, but she had only been 16 for four months so it was quite quick, she had passed her test easily, she was very clever – just like her mother so she had found it easy, her mom and dad had gotten her a little car as a reward for passing her test though she had to use it sensibly and pick up Libby from school in it when they couldn't.

At the moment her mom and dad were in LA solving the murder of someone who had been killed on the set of a movie being made based on one of her mother's books, she wished she could have gone but she had to stay and look after Libby, they were staying with Angela and Hodgins who had their hands full with their new baby, Michael.

"April" Libby asked looking out the window "why does it rain" April looked at her sister "because the clouds are sad" she said "the clouds are sad and they cry" Libby gave her a look "that's not true April" she said, April smiled at her "yes it is" she said "is not" Libby challenged "is too" she chanted back, they continued like that for a while before Libby sighed "what are we doing tomorrow April" she asked as April slowed and stopped at a red light "um well mom and dad are back in the evening but I think we are going out with Angela, Jack, Michael and Cam in the morning and then in the afternoon I will take you to the park if you want and maybe we will go see..."

"Livie" her sister interrupted excitedly still looking out the window, April smiled "no Livie is in New York at the moment honey, but we will Skype her on Friday yes", Libby looked at her "Livie isn't in New York she is here" she said her eyes shining with excitement, April frowned at her "no Livie isn't in DC" she said "yes she is she is there" Libby said pointing out the window. April squinted through the rain and spotted the solitary figure walking slowly along the path towards the docks. "see" Libby said triumphantly "told you Livie is here" April stared before quickly indicating and driving towards the docks and pulling over "Libby stay in the car" she said as she grabbed her raincoat "aw but I want to see Livie" her sister whined "I'll bring her other to say hi" she said as she opened the door and yanked her coat on before jogging up the road.

"Livie" she shouted "hey Livie", the girl turned round and stared at her before she smiled "April" she said with a smile "hey", April pulled the younger girl into her arms hugging her and felt her hug her back, she hugged her before pulling away to look at her "what are you doing here" she exclaimed "you should have told us and I would have met you, is Alexis here too, are your parents"? Livie shook her head "no just me" she said and an odd look crossed over her face, April frowned "ok first question again, what are you doing here"

Livie gave a weak smile "facing my demons" she said, April frowned at her before her face saddened "oh Livie are you still having nightmares" slowly Livie nodded "Sweets said to me the last time I came that I had to stand up and face them so when I woke up in the middle of the night I decided enough was enough and left the house, I have spent the whole day going to places that have had a huge impact on me, the park where I was first kidnapped, the reflecting pool, the fair where we were taken, I even ran through the woods to trigger the flashback and then I made myself sit through them rather than cry and try to get away from them, and I feel a bit better like the weight that has been pushing me down is lessening, giving me a chance to stand tall again for once"

April smiled at her "come on then" she said "get in the car, I'll take you wherever you want", she was surprised when Livie shook her head "thanks but no thanks April, I need to go to the docks, face the demon which haunts me there" April looked at her before glancing over her shoulder at her car, she could see Libby sitting in there impatiently, wanting to get out, "well Libby isn't going to let me drive off until she says hi so go do what you need to do, I will be here when you are ready" she said, Livie smiled and waved to Libby who waved excitedly back "thanks April" she said softly before turning and heading slowly onto the docks.

April turned and jogged back to the car and slid in slipping out of her raincoat and cheekily throwing it on top of her sister who giggled and pushed it away leaning over the back seat "where's she going" she asked confused, April gave her a small smile "she is just going to do something, then she is coming to say hi" she said.

As they waited she thought, Livie coming up here was a surprise and she didn't seem to know she was doing, April felt worried for her friend, something told her Livie hadn't planned this trip, but she didn't know what she could do, her parents were away and she didn't want to have to ask Angela and Hodgins for any more favours when they were so busy with their new baby, she thought before she pulled out her phone and dialled a number waiting until the person picked up.

"hi" she said, "listen um I think you ought to know something and I am slightly worried" she paused "yeah, well it's Livie, she's here and that's not all, she came alone and I don't think she has anywhere to stay tonight and my parents are away and I have to look after Libby so I was wondering if you could give me a hand helping her", she smiled "cool, be there as soon as I can, cheers, see you soon", she hung up and looked at Libby listening curiously "slight detour before we head home munchkin" she said with a smile before turning to watch her friend head towards the docks to face her own nemesis.
