Hey guys sorry this chapter is kind of short I have been getting the worst writers block and couldn't think of what to write till inspiration hit me. And by inspiration I mean someone hitting me in the bad of the head to continue so are you happy? But the next one should be longer and written better so enjoy...
I never thought that this would lead to a dead end, literally. Me and Phoenix looked for hours on end treading through all the dirt, marsh and tiny ponds, leavening no stone unturned, but to no avail. All we had found was a bunch of rubbish and little animals like bunnies, but that was it. When found no further notes, foot prints, trails or anything else. Had Ethan really killed her? He couldn't have, he was like Vivian's and my best guy friend, Vivian more than me. What had caused Ethan's outburst of sudden insanity? Drugs? Alcohol? I don't know, but whatever it was I hope he will get over it, some how...
After one more hour of searching we decided to call it quits for the day, well night. I tried pressing Phoenix for one more hour, but he only brushed my check with the back of his soft hand and said softly, "I know you are worried and scarred and you want to keep looking and so do I but the sun will be up really soon, it is time for use to go back to the House of Night. We shall return tomorrow, okay?" I nodded, I really didn't want to stop looking, Vivian was out here somewhere, or at least her body was. I had to put the living, or at least undead above the dead. I finally realized the only reason I wanted to look was because I thought Vivian would be alive, but I came to the sad truth, she was gone, and she was no longer coming back, ever! I fell into Phoenix's arms, buried my face in his chest, and balled my eyes out. She couldn't be gone, not with out saying goodbye. It was all to much for me to handle. His touch was comforting as he stroked my back lovingly trying to stop the tears, he smelt amazing like warm apple pie, freshly baked.
Then I started to think how me and Vivian made a pie in cooking class in grade 9, we pulled it out of the oven is smelt so good but Vivian said it was another 10 minutes till the timer had to go off, stupid cooking, cant you just base if its good or nit by the smell and not the fucking timer? I hated those things I found then truly annoying. I always based my cooking on when're or not it looked cooked, but then again my dad did get food poisoning from the cake I baked him for his birthday last year... So I reluctantly put in back in and by accident locked to the oven and put it to cleanse. The pie burnt and soon the room filled with smoke, and there was nothing we could do, I wouldn't fucking open, stupid cooking! Our pie was gone but Vivian and I laughed our asses off, the teacher got so mad she had use transferred to wood shop class early, oh the good times. That memory managed to stops the tears flow then realization kicked in, I had been crying for nearly 20 minutes in Phoenix's arms, we had to get home before I had a another burnt pie for a boyfriend, the thought made me chuckle.
"Boyfriend?" Phoenix asked innocently.
"Yes, boyfriend, " I repeated sounding a bit more annoyed, "Got a problem with that?" He just shook his head repelling the thought and let me go and started heading in the direction from which we came, back to civilization.
We finally got back to route ten around 5:30 am, shit the sun would be rising soon. I looked at Phoenix dumbly and said in my thoughts, what now? We won't make it back to the House of Night in time? "We could... No. How about... No." I couldn't think of anything at all. He just looked at me confused then it hit me. "My house isn't to far from hear maybe a 30 minute jog?" well maybe a bit more but still it was worth the shoot. The more he thought about it the more he liked the idea, he nodded in agreement and we were off. Back home, where the buffalo of my dad and my loving mom roamed. But I never would have left if I knew what was going to happen next...
