Chapter 3

Kelly walked down the halls of the boarding school at night and unknown by her, she was being followed. She then turns a corner to where her room should be, but instead, two men were looking over her with a smirk as if they had been expecting her. One with only a few teeth and the other big, but dumb founded.

She turns around to run, but another man grabs her. The last glimpse Kelly saw before they blind folded her was his pale eyes looking straight at her.

When the sun came up, Kelly wakes up in a room that was locked and looks out the port hole to see she was on a ship. She then notices a group of men coming to the side of the ship from a motor boat. They sneak onto the ship and gave each other signals. When the close was clear, they run off with pistols at hand.

Kelly watches out until she heard a loud bang and duck for cover.

She takes another peak to see different men carrying the unconscious group and throw them into the motor boat. One of them pour gasoline all over them as another pulls the cord and the boat came alive. The leader lights a cigarette and throws the match at the boat.

Kelly watches the small flame begins its journey down onto the boat filled with man and then it explodes into flames. Her eyes follow the flames until the boat sank for good. She then slides to the ground and begins to cry.

Why these men want her for? She didn't have anything of use to them.

They reach America three days later and they kept her in a house for the next few years. They stopped by a few times and ask her and bunch of questions, but she didn't have any answers.

They took care of her schooling with a tutor that worked for them and someone came in and the house and cooked her meals, but she was, missing Clive everyday and every night until the day she accepted she wasn't going anywhere.

Once Kelly turned eighteen, they kicked her out with the money Constance Dove has given her in the will. She was confused by this, but the decides to go to college for a few years like Dove wanted and try and go find Clive with the money she was given.

Clive and Wendy walked down the streets of New York City and stop in front of an apartment. He looks up, wondering if Kelly could really be in this building after years of separation. Wendy notices and smiles, "excited?"

Clive nods his head and walks into the building. Wendy goes ahead and leads them into an elevator. She takes out a key and unlocks a panel that covered one button to the top floor.

Clive presses it and they rise to the top. The elevator stops and they get off into a living room. "She owns this whole floor?" He asks.

"Top two floors actually; she thought the view up here is breathtaking." Wendy states as she walks over to the huge window. Clive smiles, knowing Kelly loved great views when they were young, that's why he had given up his balcony room to her.

"So, where is she?" He asks.

Wendy smirks and says in the matter of fact tone. "Well, she's right here." She then pulls out a golden necklace out of her jacket and Clive gasp at the charm.

It was one of a kind, unique, but he had seen the scramble shapes of a rose, a heart, and a moon on a single charm.

"W-w-what's this?" He asks out of anger, but Wendy just smiles and takes off her contacts to reveal dark brown eyes.

"It's me Clive, Kelly?" Her eyes start to twinkle as they water up with joy.

Clive's jaw drop and walks over to her. "Kelly," he whispers and put her into his embrace, "I missed you so much." He whispered in her ear and she starts to cry.

She stops crying and looks up at him with a smile. "I missed you too Clive." He smiles too and they start kissing each other.

After the heart reunion, Kelly guides Clive into her study and they sat down in front of a small fireplace. "So Kelly, why did you have to make this all so secretive? You could have just visited me as yourself, right?" Clive asks.

Kelly shakes her head as she stares into the fire. "No, I think the police over their work for them; or the very least are bribed to keep their mouth shut."

"They work for whom?" Clive ask as her straighten up.

Kelly straightens up herself as she takes a deep breath. "The men who took me are treasure hunters."
