AN: . Winkadink pointed out it was a little fast past. Sorry, I just didn't think there was much background to fill in. Besides I wanted to jump right into the action. Thanks for the reviews:

I swallowed as he approached us with his gun.
"I'm going to have to ask you to move." He said in a deep voice.
I tried to think of something anything.
'W..w..wait." I stuttered. "You c..can't take him. He's just a l..l..little boy."
He sighed, like he had heard this before. "I know but magic isn't allowed."
"B..b..but he doesn't even know how to use his magic. Earlier it was just a fluke."
"Look, I don't have all day. Please just step out of the way, so we can get this over with."
I thought quickly. "What if I told you, I knew another person with magic? Would you let him go?"
By this time Drew was crying. Being careful, I slowly turned my back on him and faced Drew.
"It's alright. Let us finish talking and we can go home and I'll get you pizza." I wiped away his tears and tried to keep my own from flowing.

I hated this. Why did she have to be so cute, staring up at me with those big blue eyes of her's. I hated myself for what I did next.
"Who?"
"Wh..wh..what?" She stuttered, turning around to face me.
"Who do you know that has magic?" I growled. I didn't mean to snap but she was making my job difficult. She shifted slightly before answering.
"Me."
"You?" I asked in disbelief.
She nodded. "But you have to let him go. Let me take him home and I'll come back."
"How do I know you won't run?" I narrowed my eyes, I didn't trust her.
"His life. I don't want to risk it. I'll come back give me until sunset and I'll meet you at the park." She extended her hand and waited for me to shake it, agree to the deal. I reluctantly shook it.
"And another thing," she said. "No following us. Or the deal's off." She glared at me steadily or at least tried too. I resisted the urge to laugh.
"Like you could stop me." I said, smiling.
"Don't tempt me." She wasn't very scary. "And your friend better not follow me either. Or else."
Seeing the look on my face, she lifted her fingers where sparks were dancing from tip to tip.
"Do we have an understanding?" She asked, arching an eyebrow.
I didn't want to admit to her, I really wasn't afraid. But then again maybe I should be afraid. Magic wasn't really understood. There was no telling what she could do with it.
"Alright." I backed away to let them pass. She grabbed the boy's hand and practically dragged him away, all the while glancing back over her shoulder watching me. I waited til she turned the corner and for a few more minutes to let her get away before I walked out of the alley.

I didn't stop looking behind me until Drew and I were safely inside. I locked the door and shut all the windows. Drew was running around the room shouting "Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!" It was probably safe to order pizza, so I grabbed the phone and had it delivered. After Drew finished eating, I put him down for a nap. I hadn't really eaten. I was too scared. I packed a bag with a few things. Some underwear and clothes. Some pictures of my parents, Ant Lauren, and Drew. There wasn't much else I needed. I don't even know why I bothered to pack a bag, I wouldn't need it anyway. I lied down on my bed and tried to take a nap. I had a few hours before I had to meet him, Aunt Lauren should be home by then to watch Drew. Every time I closed my eyes though, I saw the hunter's eyes. Beautiful bright green. At some point, I must have drifted off.
Aunt Lauren was in the kitchen when I went downstairs with my backpack thrown over my shoulder.
"Hey." I said in the doorway. I was going to make my good bye quick. I had already told Drew bye.
"Hey," she said turning around. 'Dinner will be ready in a few."
"Umm, actually I'm going out for a while. I'll grab something later."
"Oh, alright." Aunt Lauren was intently making dinner. "Don't stay out too late."
I smiled sadly. "Don't worry I won't"
With that, I went out the front door and made my way to the park.
AN: It's not really a cliffy this time, just a pause. Hope you liked. It's not very long. Nor that action packed but every story has a lull in the action. Promise more action to come.
