Chapter 2: homeward bound

"we'll send our children to safety," a tall silver haired man said. Six of them had gathered around a well. It looked like the well in the forest by her home.

"there is no where safe for my child , she was born of and as a star, they will covet our children but any where is safer than here,"a woman with midnight blue hair and pale silvery eyes said. Strangely the woman turned as if she knew that kaylen was watching. she smiled "soon my child soon you will be able to come home."

kaylen awoke suddenly to a loud knocking on her door. she slimed out of bed noticing it was around 11:30.

"kaylen , im keith i was sent to bring you home," the blonde boy at the door said. her grey -blue eyes glittered with hope. she packed everything she had quickly and triped over a small black box i the floor. she tossed it in her bag and ran with keith out the doors a smile on her face for the first time in a long time. the trip back was quiet except a small twinkling from the black box that kaylen held.

she recognized the tune, but she could swear she'd never heard the song and with each new time she heard it word formed in her mind. 'stars we are born from stars we are , light with in us shows who we now my child sleep now and dream for one day my daughter you will be queen.'

" miss kaylen we're here," keith said . she smiled at him and lept from the car dashing inside her long empty home. her parents had died a year after they sent her to the school and she missed them sometimes. she walked up the stairs to her room and layed out on her neatly made bed. she sat for a good ten miutes before she decided to change quickly and run to the cafe down the street.

she dressed in satreet clothes for the first time in years. her black-blue hair hung in gentel waves down to her calves. she was slender a product of a small apitite and her grey-blue eyes shone like the stars she'd missed the whole time she was locked away.

she liked to pretend she was a star one of rare power that had come to earth so she could spread light . satisfied with the way she looked she ran quickly to the little shop and sat in the window with the sun back lighting her, the man running the place came over to her table.

" sebastian said to tell you , they'd be here in ten minutes , mark was running late," he said petting the sweet girl, she had always been his favorite of the group and it didnt hurt that he was her uncle. she nodded smiling, he walked away stunned and happy to see the raidiance of her smile again.

the first of her friends to arrive was actually ion. he pulled her into a tight hug. she hugged back and he sat one seat awayand the next to arrive was kate, then mark. kaylen looked around exspectantly and with each pass her face fell , ion read her expression and hugged her again.

"ion why are you hugging kaylen,"a deep baritone voice spoke. kaylen's eyes grew wide as she turned around. before her stood the on she'd missed th most. those nights when the captivity of her windowless room had been to much to bare or the stress of the students teasing her made her want to cry it had been her memories of sebastian that had saved her. she lept up from her chair and ran for him "sebastian!"she cried, her voice aa high and clear as the night sky.

mark let out a sigh it had been to long since he had her that voice ring with happiness or ring at all for that matter.

"kaylen you have been very cruel , lying to me about what happened at that school,"he said picking his love up in his hug. "

"i only wanted you to think i was happy when in truth it was misery," she said.

"fret not my sweet , i understand ," he said carrying her back to her seat. the group talked for hours happy to be back to gether once more
