William and Hilary left the cave the next morning. Hilary chose to walk instead of running; she thought it would be best to conserve her strength. They walked through the forest side by side. Once they were out of the forest, they saw large towers in the distance. As they walked towards the towers, the rest of the city became visible to them. Hilary changed her appearance to blend in with the other people.

Her horns receded back into her head, her long bright red hair changed back to the familiar brown shade. Her eyes once again became the hazel ones that William had seen in her when they first met.

"Does it hurt? When you change your appearance?"

"Not really" Hilary said as she felt the top of her hornless head with her hand. "I do, feel the horns…but it doesn't hurt that much…why you asking?"

"I was just curious I guess. I just want to learn everything I can about you." William said as he patted Hilary's head. "You're very important to me, so I wanna know every detail I can about you."

Once again, William had touched Hilary with his kind words. She tried, but couldn't help but blush. Embarrassed, Hilary tried to look away from William.

"What's this feeling I have? My heart won't stop racing! This feels different than the adrenaline of being chased and hounded…my heart races for another reason…" Hilary took a glance toward William; her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Is it William?...Is this feeling caused by William…I feel…happy with this feeling…I don't want to let go of this." She placed both her palms near her heart. "As long as I'm with William…I feel normal…I feel…happy…"

William and Hilary soon reached the city and did their best to blend in. As William was walking down the street, his gaze wondered to an electronics store window. The television in the window seemed to have some strange spell over him. He stopped dead in his tracks and walked closer to the window to get a better look.

His eyes were affixed to the screen. Hilary noticed William's absence and walked over to William to get him moving again.

"William! We got to keep moving, we can't stay in one place for too long." William remained silent. Hilary followed William's gaze to the television and saw what had enthralled him.

On the television was a news broadcast. The reporter was talking two middle aged adults, one man and one women. Near the bottom of the screen was a message, "Concerned Parents of College Kidnapping Victim". The man did his best to calm down his wife, who was being hysterical from her obvious stress and fatigue.

The women spoke towards the camera, pleading. "Please! Whoever you are, give me back my son!! He doesn't deserve this! Just please…bring him back…I don't want him hurt…" She fell to the floor. "I'd give anything to see my boy again!! Please!! Give him back to me!!!" She was unable to form anymore words due to her overflowing tears. Her husband helped her up and tried to calm her down again.

William finally broke her gaze from the television. "Hilary…I have to go home…I can't have them worry about me…"

Hilary took some time to process this. She felt her body run cold. "NO!" Hilary screamed at William. "You can't leave me! I won't let you!" Hilary's vectors came out thrust toward William. Even though he could see the vectors, William stood firm. Hilary's vectors stopped before they touched any part of him. Surrounded by her vectors, William stared at Hilary with a long and cold expression. "What am I doing!? I can't make him stay with me…I should have seen this coming…I couldn't have him stay with me anyway. I would just be putting him in danger to fulfill my selfish desires.

Hilary withdrew her vectors. "I'm sorry William. Go to your family. They must miss you." Hilary said to William, with a big smile on her face.

"Thank you Hilary…I'll never forget you…Good-bye." William said as he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Good-bye…William" Hilary turned around as well and walked in the opposite direction of William. Her eyes were overflowing with tears. When William had uttered the words "Good-bye" it suddenly occurred to what it had truly meant. She was saying "Good-bye" to the only person she had ever loved. And the thought that she would never see him again, tore her apart. She continued walking with her tears still pouring.

William was able to get a ride back to house much easier than he thought. He hitched a ride from a driver and told how he was the college kidnapped student. The driver agreed to help him get a ride to his house. During the ride home he pondered the fate of Hilary. Would she be safe? Would she escape the evil hold of Banodyne? He hoped that some day, he could continue a normal life with her.

When he arrived at his house he thanked the driver for his kindness and approached his house. When was exactly was the last time he saw his parents? Was it before he started college? He rang the door bell and waited for an answer, his anticipation rising. The door opened, but no one answered it. He walked slowly into the house and saw his parents sitting on the living room couch. He walked into further into the house and greeted them joyously. "Mom! Dad! I'm back-" William's mother interrupted him, a terrible look of fear plastered on her face.

"You shouldn't have come back! Get out before it's too late!"

"Huh?...What are you talking abo-" Before he could finish his sentence, William felt something hard fall down upon the back of his skull. William fell to the floor, quickly losing conciseness. Before he lost conciseness he heard footsteps behind him and a voice.

"Well, well…what have we hear?...A scared little puppy?" Then William heard nothing, and everything faded into darkness.
